To be honest, I have no idea wtf minimal even is.
So many people call it by differnt things. I've heard some songs called minimal, progressive house, tech house, techno, IDM, glitch.
I consider Abyss fine minimal artists, but thats prolly wrong.

For once , i remember "minimal-techno". This sound was motly refering to the deep n dubby berlinesque techno of Basic Channel and Chain Reaction records. Minimal techno was also sometimes refering to more broader artists like John Tejada.
Then we had the "micro-house" the "click-house", and "glitch-techno" (and clicks n' cuts in the broader sense) of Akufen, Mathew Dear and Vladislav Delay. This was related to minimal and sometimes it was grouped as minimal, but it was not minimal per se.
Sudenly there was a commercial explosion with Holden and others playing some of this stuff. The world gone mad. Everything that was a bit more repetetive then usual, used strange glitchy and clicky sounds and was generally "dry" (whatever that means) was "minimal"!Minimal that, minimal this...everything was fucking minimal. And we had this massive confusion that Holden caused (possibly after suffering serious brain damage) that "minimal was progressive with new plug-ins" (HERESSY!!!A techno purist would be shocked).
Yes , minimal had stopped making sense as a genre-name since it was cool and everything wanted to be minimal. Ironically, it seems that no-one rembers the "minimal-techno" of Chain Reaction Records or the mid-end 90s minimal techno in general.
Even Worst...
It seems that only a few know that minimal...was originally a late 20th century movement in music and art in general and that famous minimalistic musicians are Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Terry Riley and John Cage. This is terrible because they confuse the current bloody trashy EDM minimal with the proper minimal. As i recall from a conversation with friend...
"-Hey i listen to a lot of "minimal".
- Nooo, thats shit music man...thats the most stupid electronic dance music ever..."
Now, everytime i refer to minimal, it seems that i have to specify that i refer to "classical-minimal" and not to bloody "EDM-minimal". Thats it.
Minimal has become a dirty word. Minimal must die, at least as a word!
