i like future sound of london and aphex twin never heard of the others though i should probably add more IDM into my trips.
Mu ziq makes really thoughtful drill and bass ditties. This is probably my favorite cut
Boards of canada is so amazing for tripping because of the different layers of detail in the music. You really pick up on some of their near subliminal uses of samples.
Squarepusher could realistically be called "jazz fusion" idm, really great shit. He is somebody who is extremely prolific, and has gone through many phases..
Here's a random lyrical techno from him
Also autechre is another idm group I really like for tripping. They have quite a range of music from ambient techno
,to extremely abstract emotional stuff
I do have a bias against idm kind of, in that I feel like it had its moment in the 90s and early 2000s, and that exciting and interesting electronic music made these days is more likely not be called idm.
Here are some things I feel are exciting electronic music.
Kelman Duran - he makes really beautiful ambient reggaeton that is booth haunting and lit. Think pitch shifted choirs juxtaposed with looped vocals and sparse beats.

Varg2tm - makes techno that switches from bangers to delicate landscapes and garnishes his tunes with emotional spoken word pieces.

Actress - makes music that feels lo fi in a way that YouTube videos are lo fi. A master of glittery textures and creating a mental space using song titles, the music and the album art.

Yves tumor - Uses rnb idioms and very luscious production to make extremely creative and dark and beautiful music.

Sorry for hijacking this thread a bit. I do feel quite strongly about a lot of this music, and am willing to look like an asshole for the chance of getting people into some of these artists.
