*** Historical background ***
In 1991 RePhleX records introduced the concept of 'Braindance' to label the music they release.
Often people equate Braindance and IDM. That is completely wrong. Braindance is More than IDM.
IDM is a style of electronic music, and Braindance isn't one.
Braindance is NOT a limp and lifeless set of sounds like 97% of everything that industry produces. It is the Music! A sound that contains feelings, emotions and inspiration!

Here is the text posted on the Rephlex website in the 90's:
"braindance is the genre that encompasses the best elements of all genres, e.g traditional, classical, electronic music, popular, modern, industrial, ambient, hip hop, electro, house, techno, breakbeat, hardcore, ragga, garage, drum and bass, etc.

BRAINDANCE is...
extraordinary!
fulfilling!
entertaining!
open-minded!
original!
creative!
unpredictable!
sincere!
influential!
highly-acclaimed!
BRAINDANCE is...
unique : )"

And here is the later version:
"braindance is... incredible!
braindance is... boundless; eclectic; entertaining; rephreshing; fulfilling; wholehearted; sensual;
stimulating; bold; unconventional; real; imaginary; visionary; essential; debonair...
braindance is unique!"

Kevin Joyce is a new exciting musician who works primarily as an electronic artist utilizing software synths, samples & drum machines.

Combining his love of funk, jazz, techno & house music, he creates a hybrid of these genres but never at the cost of losing melody, harmony & pulsating rhythm. His place of work is a studio overlooking a canyon full of wildlife such as coyotes & wild boar. This is turn keeps him inspired with a beautiful view and a myriad of natural sounds.
