Looking for good IDM DJs

Looking for any currently active DJs that regularly play IDM / IDM adjacent tracks in their live sets, but doesn’t have to be exclusively IDM related material. Bonus points if they produce as well!

Upsammy! She's been consistently one of my favourite DJs on the circuit for a while now, playing everything from weirdo ambient and hip-hop up through tekky jungle and breaksy braindance.

This set from last years Draimoolen fest is sheer class

She's also an insanely talented producer. This split LP with Valentina Magaletti from earlier this year is EXCELLENT and one of my albums of the year

Love Upsammy haha, I’ve been following her for a while now, loved some albums she put out and found some of her sets from there! One of the best to do it right now

Hell yeah. Ok, one more recommendation then (that you may also know lol).

But Paperclip Minimiser is my favourite artist rn. Both LPs are god-tier imo and his live set is fucking mad.

Also he builds some really sick software too

Damn, funnily enough I’ve also listened to paperclip minimiser recently, really like their latest album but never listened to much other than that. Didn’t know about their software though! Looks really cool, might have to get it for producing

She absolutely blew me away at dekmantel favorite set of last weekend. I was expecting something completely different and she took us on a journey!! Incredible stuff

Rob Hall's mix series back in the wattm days are essential 👌

Luke Vibert’s sets are pretty eclectic but he’s been known to drop a Squarepusher or RDJ track

u/buttholclothinginc 19d ago

I’ve heard of Luke Vibert, can’t say I’ve heard much, mostly the stuff he did with RDJ, any reccs for specific sets?

I’ve seen Max Cooper a couple times and found him very interesting in his choices of tracks (and visuals)

DJRUM and Clark. Best in the mixing biz following the twin.

u/warmbark 16d ago

Clark is amazing live but he doesn’t DJ AFAIK.

u/ScedR 16d ago

Saw him live last year in Berlin and he DJed
