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, μ-Ziq, the Black Dog, the Future Sound of London, and Luke Vibert.

With his new album, Ruby My Dear captures the essence of summer and transforms it into sound. Inspired by the landscapes of southern France, the tracks radiate warmth, joy, and the kaleidoscopic memories of days spent under the sun. This is not a postcard version of summer, but a living, breathing ode to its shifting moods: from moments of dreamlike serenity to bursts of ecstasy.

Within the unruly framework of breakcore, Ruby My Dear sculpts something unmistakably his own. The music glows with a psychedelic vibrancy, shimmering between playful brightness and hypnotic depth. The listener is invited into a synaesthetic journey where rhythms break and crash like waves against the shores, and where melodies bloom in the most unpredictable colours. Each track feels like a day of its own: some calm, some wild, but all infused with an undertone of sunsets and the fleeting magic of summer.

Conceived as both musical and visual narrative, this release unfolds as a complete art project. The gatefold cover reveals its hidden story, assembling sound and vision into one. Here, music becomes multisensory: heard, seen, and felt.. A swirl of fleeting moments, captured and held.

Uncompromising, kaleidoscopic, and utterly unique, Ruby My Dear redefines what experimental electronic music can be: a form of synaesthesia in motion.

Niice! Thanks for the heads up. I'd have missed that one.
