A decent read. And the first time I'd heard that DI.fm started at my alma mater, Binghamton University ( http://www.di.fm/about ). I wouldn't have known Ari anyway since I graduated a few years before, but even while I was there, there was a good group of EDM fans and artists. We'd stay up late in the fine arts building making tracks in the MIDI lab.

There are plenty of weird, fringe elements that are still very much a part of EDM.
I absolutely LOVE psy-trance. The best parties ever.
