Bleep! at Dada
"Bleep" techno was a sound that centered on Sheffield, UK's WARP records in the late 80s / early 90s, during the original rave explosion. Its sound was more abstract and bass-heavy compared to the mainstream and evolved into the IDM sound of the mid 90s (Aphex Twin, Autecre, Boards of Canada). This music is fun, big and bold.
