ADID has certainly pushed a sound. It’s even in the “All Day I Dream” name. Personally, I don’t want to dream when it comes to dance music. I like raw, head-down raving or House that reminds me of better, younger days. If I wanted butterflies and rainbows I’d listen to Phil Collins. They release music I wouldn’t be surprised to hear at a dentist’s office. I don’t think I have pigeonholed them, I think they did that to themselves as a BM cash grab. It’s lazy paint-by-numbers House - light kick, floaty minor chord melody, annoying bassline, generic percussion. I know what an ADID release will sound like before I even hear it. Innervisions is the same way. But I find them far more frustrating as they used to release just flat out good music. Now they release “Innervisions” as if it’s a sound in and of itself.
