apply hacking techniques to music making, and then get all dada-ist about it.
employ sound collage and sonic-montage to produce delight from the mundane.
invest heavily in cut and paste to replace the scissors and glue of the analogue world.
create assemblages of music producing pieces that are either meaningful (compared to the individual parts used) or meaningless (compared to war and poverty.)
often start their works with readymades such as a gameboy or speak and spell, and twist and burn them and turn them upside down and write on them until they no longer sound, look like, or even are what they were in the beginning.

pertinent information:
hello by dadahack is a fizzling, popping and sizzling post-house pre-oldschool shindig. It’s Underworld meets Röyksopp behind the bikeshed bitching about how Trax records got on the guest list. It’s all clinical riffs and expansive keyboard solos underpinned by a good solid fumping chunk.
I love your tunes. You'll never guess how I found you. I was checking out the demos for the new M-tron pro and your demo is the shizzle. Did you do anything more with that track? Nice to meet you, Jim
