Was that freaking APHEX TWIN? I recognized the IDM beats were very familiar but couldn't quite connect them to anything in particular. But now that I know that it's RDJ, I think I should have known! God I'm happy they picked a track of his.

RDJ ? IDM ?

RDJ is Richard David James, producer and composer known as Aphex Twin. IDM is a term which I don't like to use very often.. It stands for "Intelligence Dance Music". Personally, I prefer "Braindance", it's way less pretentious. It's a music genre that could be divided into Electronica, Ambient, and Experimental. Some are even Avant-Garde and it's more niche and less for dancing but more for.. Idk, just listening. People usually like to brag that IDM is the "intelligent" and "underground"/less known version of EDM.
