I don't agree with this, I cannot believe that you're actualy saying this.
You probably have no moves or grooves . . . this funk makes you move
can you get in the grove . . . . .
90% or more of Ae stuff is really danceable. For instance you mentioned
Envane. First track (goz quarter) is total dancehiphopyfunkeeshit. . . you
can dance your ass of on this one.

top 10 floorfiller tracks (that come to my mind at the moment)
1. mag : gescom skam
2. spatz : clatterbox clear
3. nlogax : boards of canada skam
4. hornithology : vulva rephlex
5. i love you (huh) : friend & dr.kosmos dot
6. break it down : aux 88 direct beat
7. gert frooted : the horn evolution
8. bang bang : drexciya ur
9. mr frosty : mike & rich rephlex
0. housegirl and homeboy : like a tim djax
If these aren't IDM than I don't know . . .
