Intelligent dance music (commonly abbreviated as IDM) is a style of electronic music originating in the early 1990s, defined by idiosyncratic experimentation rather than specific genre constraints. It emerged from the culture and sound palette of electronic and rave music styles such as ambient techno, acid house, Detroit techno and breakbeat; it has been regarded as better suited to home listening than dancing. Prominent artists associated with it include Aphex Twin, Autechre, Squarepusher, Venetian Snares, Boards of Canada, Telefon Tel Aviv, ฮผ-Ziq, the Black Dog, the Future Sound of London, and Luke Vibert.

https://forum.watmm.com/topic/105431-rip-to-watmm-discussion-thread/#comments

After almost 26 years, I think it's time for WATMM to go offline - the artists we follow aren't releasing as much music as they used to, and overall there has been a decline in new users/activity.

The site supports itself financially via the Google AdSense ads and those who subscribe (and renew), but the vast majority of users are participating at no cost, which I had planned on enforcing at some point but simply haven't had the time or initiative to do so.

Also, I am at the point in my life where even the minimal involvement I have in keeping the site running just isn't something I want to do anymore. I've got other interests and priorities that are my focus, and I want to have one less thing to worry about, even minimally.

I don't think it's realistic to sell or give the site to anyone, and frankly I wouldn't be comfortable with taking WATMM and doing something with it I didn't agree with. And yes, it probably could still run on "autopilot", but someone would still need to be the account holder/billing contact for Invision, AdSense, PayPal, etc.

I've turned off registrations, so nobody won't register and then find out the site is going offline.

As for when - I think ending it when it began on June 3rd would be a nice bookend.

Again, I really appreciate all your support and help over the years, and I hope you understand or at least can appreciate my decision, and ask that you continue to be respectful of the site and your fellow members.

Edit: I am not the OP

Serious banger here. The next track in the playlist (the playlist is not the correct order but oh well), "If i give my heart" is also great, listened to that one a bunch of times on repeat.
