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.

I missed this back in 2017, thanks! Expanding on the article's mentions of favorites Autechre, Plaid, and Squarepusher...

Cylob writes his own software. I once suggested some cheap and interesting hardware to him that sounded like it would fit right in with his madness, he replied, "Sorry, that's not how I work. I would just write a module to get that sound!"

Luke Vibert samples vintage records hidden away in libraries across the UK; his "Nuggets" series consists of some of his favorite tracks in their original form.
