For most of N5MD's existence, the "IDM" (Intelligent Dance Music) genre definition has been used sparingly by the label, and then only for those artists who utilize a more strict electronic pallet. They tend to shy away from such a specific genre tag because, for the most part, the music created by their artists is noticeably lacking in the "D" element. That trend changes with Another Electronic Musician's latest album ‘Five’, Jase Rex's fifth for N5MD. ‘Five’ puts the dance back into Intelligent Dance Music through the fusion of techno, house, electro, and jazz, with Rex's now signature sculpted sound. He has created something unique while leaving the genre's subtler signposts intact to lead the way. ‘Five’ pushes and pulls you to those same places IDM used to reach before it went astray into realms of over the top cuts and extreme glitch, and puts the focus back on the mind and hips in equal measure.
