on the topic of minimal.. Dave Clarke had a funny 2cents when asked his thoughts in a recent interview...
Q - Minimal craze is still going on, you arent one of those who followed that path. On the other hand, many DJs complain there isnt much going on in techno nowadays, except minimal and hard techno / schranz. So tell me, how do you manage to get your hands on proper techno and they dont, is it just lazyness?
Dave Clarke - I am not a bandwagon jumper, that kind of behaviour is almost acceptable when you are starting off, when you are finding your feet, but not when you “believe” in what you do. possibly the situation is like this…..Artist lives in city with other artists, artist lives so close to other artist that they can say hi when they buy their milk in the morning, artist goes back to bed and sleeps with partner that previously possibly went out with the other artist that was seen buying milk, artist goes to same clubs as other artists, artist is essentially insecure and wants to be a sheep, artist can afford to stay in same town as other artist because it is so cheap, however artist needs to be respected by other insecure artists due to large drug intake. That’s my take anyway.
