Oops, I Did it Again! is the third full-length release by Rjyan Kidwell under his alias of Cex. The album was released in 2001 by Tigerbeat6 Records.
Pitchfork Media described the music on Oops, I Did It Again! as Kidwell "trying to incorporate a pretty wide spectrum of influences with the fun IDM that's been the bread and butter of his career this far". [2] Despite the humorous album and song titles, the music was a "series of unaffected breakbeats" and "lazy-night melodies" that were similar to intelligent dance music (IDM) albums of the early 1990s. [3] Exclaim! also noted the humorous tone of the album from the inner sleeve art showing Cex murdering a young girl with a steak knife and the comedy sketches that interrupt a few of the tracks. [1]
Oops, I Did it Again! was released by the Tigerbeat6 label on October 12, 2001. [3] It was later released in 2002 by the label Rock Action Records. [3]

The A.V. Club opined, "In spite of its loaded name, Oops goes a long way in presenting Cex as a serious artist—or at least a semi-serious one whose comical digressions add up to more than just nihilistic fancy. Beneath song titles like "Florida (Is Shaped Like A Big Droopy Dick For A Reason)" lay uncommonly emotive glitchscapes that mix up the brooding iciness of Autechre with the giddy brashness of Aphex Twin." [4]
Pitchfork referred to the album as "relatively standard IDM fare" and not "particularly riveting". [2] The review noted that the beats on the album were "top notch" but that "Far too much of this record is simply boring. It's a testament to Cex's inherent talent that the most uninteresting and typical aspects of Oops, I Did It Again are also the ones that seem the most forced." [2]

Intelligent dance music is a style of electronic music originating in the early 1990s, regarded as "cerebral" and better suited to home listening than dancing. Emerging from electronic and rave music styles such as techno, acid house, ambient music, and breakbeat, IDM tended to rely upon individualistic experimentation rather than adhering to characteristics associated with specific genres. Prominent artists associated with the genre include Aphex Twin, μ-Ziq, the Black Dog, the Orb, the Future Sound of London, Autechre, Luke Vibert, Squarepusher, Venetian Snares and Boards of Canada.
...I Care Because You Do is the third studio album by electronic musician Richard D. James under the alias Aphex Twin, released on 24 April 1995 by Warp. Containing material recorded between 1990 and 1994, the album marked James's return to a percussive sound following the largely beatless Selected Ambient Works Volume II (1994), and pairs abrasive rhythms with symphonic and ambient elements. The cover artwork is a self-portrait by James.

Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives is a 2001 studio album by Guillermo Scott Herren, the first released under the name Prefuse 73. The album was released in June 11, 2001 on Warp. The music was created by Herren alone, with some tracks featuring guest vocals from MCs Mikah 9, MF Doom and Aesop Rock as well as vocalist Sam Prekop from The Sea and Cake. Inspired by Miami bass and early 90s hip hop, Herren had been recording music with his Music Production Center (MPC) for Schematic Records, a label known primarily for intelligent dance music (IDM). After working with various local hip hop artists making what he described as "very boring rap beats", Herren was inspired to take his music in a more left-field direction.
"Oops!... I Did It Again" is a song by American singer Britney Spears, from her second album of the same name. It was released on March 27, 2000, by Jive Records as the lead single from the album. The song was written and produced by Max Martin and Rami Yacoub. "Oops!... I Did It Again" is a song that lyrically speaks of a female who views love as a game, and she decides to use that to her advantage by playing with her lover's emotions. Its bridge features a dialogue which references the blockbuster film Titanic (1997).
Tigerbeat6 is a San Francisco and Berlin based independent and (mostly) electronic record label run by Kid606. The label is run as a DIY operation and releases a variety of electronic music styles, including noisecore, intelligent dance music, bedroom pop, folktronica, and electronica-driven hip hop. The name reflects De Pedro's obsession with cats, which also comes to light in the catalogue numbers, all of which start with MEOW. It is also a loose reference to the top-selling teen magazine Tiger Beat. The label's first release was in 2000; it has over two hundred releases in total. A 2001 compilation of the label's output was described as "stripping intelligent dance music of its intelligence[,] often resorting to outright silliness, and sometimes parody." The A.V. Club described the same compilation as satirizing glitch through "gestures borrowed from punk, indie-rock, and hip-hop."
