PC Music's Life Sim is another half-jokey act on the label's roster that describes itself as "an international community of DJs, joining forces to redesign life itself." Life Sim just released a track called "IDL," which almost definitely stands for "I Don't Like," in continuation with the collective's affinity for self-referencing titles (previous mixes have been called This Life and All Life). The track comes with a music video that splices together movie scenes from Avatar to Spring Breakers into the ultimate post-modern montage. In a press release, director Daniel Swan had this to say about it: "drifting towards earth and through the blockbuster emotions threaded through it, the video for 'IDL' is made up of single clips from a rainbow of random post-y2k motion pictures." "IDL" also comes with a remix from PC Music's pseudo-rocker boy band Thy Slaughter (who recently performed in a glass cube in Brooklyn), collapsing the song's trance-y synth arpeggios to a glitchy breakdown in the final minute.
