FROM THE CHAIRCRUSHER
What is interesting to me, and why I’m somewhat interested in the academic study of IDM — other than the fact that I’ve participated in the phenomenon since very close to the founding of the mailing list — is that Techno and House and Hip Hop arose, contemporaneously, before the Internet, and IDM happened after.

NEW NIN TING
The other day this was sent to the IDM-l, apropos of nothing:  My name is Erik Higa. I am a member of the N2O/Digital Bombing Crew which includes R.A.W. and General Malice.
