how clichéd is the glitchy/stutter/IDM sound these days

What I meant by relevant is that I still thought it was going to keep evolving and going somewhere interesting, now I mostly listen to scratch an old itch, for nostalgia, even if it's new stuff. Anyway I know there are probably people out there pushing the envelope, but I'm old and lazy and feed me some grapes and wine I have grown unable to lift my arms.

I think there was a shift in production a few years ago from beat heavy to synth heavy. At least in most of the stuff I listen to these days, the drums take a back seat to the morphing synth sounds.

I enjoy the glitched out sound of repeating a snare or hihat super fast, but it sounds pretty dated at this point. It has to be used in a more tasteful way in order to not sound like the mid 2000s.

bit_meddler did the glitchy hiphop style the best, his tracks are still top

 

wish he'd done more, this track is one of my favs

That's Dave Tipper, right? 

nah, bit meddler had a few releases on planet mu in the early 2000s before his computer exploded and lost all his tracks (or something like that). think i read somewhere that he's a graphic designer now

edit: sorry, I see you're referring to the remix. I was referring to the original song my mistake.

sorry sorry

it's cool, i've been meaning to check out tipper for a while now, i didnt even know the original was partly him 

I'd say start at "Relish the Trough", good old school tech-house, big bass/beats etc. 

His production is top notch, he sometimes ventures into main-streamy sounding stuff but overall he's a great producer.
