Minimal can't be overrated, then it wouldn't be minimal anymore.

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Oh good, I wasn't the only one.

Maybe a doldrums of the old standby, house, before something else develops. This sort of situation is always fertile soil for something, you know, actually different.

I have to say I'm very pleased with the short shelf-life of these recent movements compared to progressive/trance's wholesale takeover in the 90s. It shows people still have some basic values that won't be slaughtered on the altar trendwhoring, and that we're not doomed to a decade of mindless bloopy-bloop nonsense.

My reaction to the prediction of minimal's demise: Yay!

No, it just shows that people have even less of an attention span.

Hmm. You might be right. I try to be an optimist?

Um, ok. Then why did you play Maurizio - M5 on the Essential Mix, smartypants?

I do think you might be right about this. I see things only getting deeper, and not in the 2002 progressive sense.

I've been following this a lot, and this sort of sound is realllllllly getting good right now. Lots of artists like luomo, international pony, isolee, jonas bering, superpitcher, jeff bennett sascha funke, ada etc. This hybrid of deep soulful pads and warm warm sounds with the clicks and pops.

I agree with this statement wholeheartedly

Superpitcher, Jeff Bennett, and Sascha Funke have all been real big for me in the last couple weeks... Though I will say, the tunes that I don't care for from Bennett and Funke I tend to REALLY dislike... But for the most part, all three have been ace.

HAHA I'm the SAME WAY! I love some of theirs and HATE others. Very hit/miss.

Deep deep deep

We need more shoegaze ambient/deep house... M83 but with a beat.

But seriously electronic shoegaze is where its at!

That's pretty much the sound I'm going for. Check out Jonas Bering's new EP on Kompakt called "Lost Paradise". Also check out a specific track on Inoquo -> "Mike Mendia - Re-All"

I love M83 and thank god they don't have a four-to-the-floor beat! Deep house/techno like jeff bennet-the next big thing?...That sound was around from 94...the timewriter, terry lee brown jr., john tejada,alexi delano,jori hulkkonen,luomo/vladislav delay and many many many others were doing it in the 90s,only 1000 times better then now IMO!!!(luomo's vocalcity was great back in the day).

Yeah well now they're gonna do it again.

I've never really been a fan of minimal but I think the next big thing will probably be melodic progressive stuff, whether it's trance, house or breaks. That stuff is already fairly popular, but I can see it making a comeback....stuff a little more reminiscent of the mid late 90s and early 00s progressive sound, stuff Sasha & Digweed, Nick Warren and Dave Seaman used to play. They still do, esp Nick Warren. Stuff by guys like Snake Sedrick, Jay Lumen, Retroid, Damien Heck, Yvel & Tristan, Benz & MD, Cassino & Laben among others...I can see that taking over, but so far it hasn't completly cought on. Seems like the trend the past few years has been electro-house and minimal, with still some DJs playing melodic trance and tech trance. I agree that minimal is boring. It's nice to have some music that is enjoyable to listen to and dance to.
