ok - here's the thing - i've been into acoustic music for fukin years... did the glade this year on the rabbit hole crew and luved the vibe... sunday evening i found myself at the ID Spiral dome and blissed out to the gorgeous sound that was going down... thing is i have NO idea what the hell i was listening to - could have been ambient trance... fluffy techno... psy vibe electronica meat and 2 veg for all i know.... SO here's the thing - the overall vibe was definately ambient, but it had enough of a beat to dance to - but nothing too banging... there was certainly some melody - definately light and twinkly - uplifting....

SO - give me something to go on people - what should i be looking for - how do i get more of it and where the hell to i find it.....

help me out - let me in - thanks to anyone who can take the time to give me something to go on

it was probably minimal ambient tech house being mixed in to some cerebral psy trance remixed by an earthy techno artist

I'd be hard to give the ID stuff a genre, theres elements of ambient, big beat, IDM, minimal house and progressive in there, and of course world fusion too. I'd go on ID Spiral website, take the 'lucky dip approach' - think you can sample the tunes, and get some CDs, they all seem pretty darn good and in keeping with the area's vibe. Happy chillin!
