Tribal deep-tech house replaced it for a bit. Now it's just deep-tech; minimal with funk and soul, or something.

Thing about fads is you never know what's going to catch on next until it does. We only know it won't be like the last fad, because that's yesterday's fashion. (note: you can recycle older fads though, because retro)

Electronic Music Critic: Near-Daily Ruminations Of Music I Own, In Alphabetical Order!

Well, I think the electronic music landscape right now is much diverse than during the mnml-era. There are plenty of fads and trends right now but they aren't big enough to drown out everything else, which is what mnml did. You can do almost any sound and still find plenty of people willing to listen, during the minimal-peak people were so obsessed with that one sound that a lot of producers that weren't willing to hop on board even quit making music (I think most came back after the fad ended, though) entirely.

There was a time when Minimal drowned everything else out and producers stopped producing? When and who was this? I thought the current fad is Dubstep or Ping Pong Trance? Perhaps it depends on where one lives...

Minimal was everywhere back in 2006-7. I would say that Heater caused a shift from the bleep-bloop "mnml" sound to a slightly more tribal influenced, more ethnic "Chilean Goat Farmer" take on tech house (Luciano, Michael Clies, Cecille Records, 8bit Records), and then from there we went to a sound that melded the rhodes and wistful soulful vocals of deep house and first-wave tech with modern-day progressive house and minimal production values (Jimpster, Shur-I-Kan, Tiger Stripes), and from there Nu Disco got big for a while and now we're on 90's influenced garage and house (Disclosure, MK getting back into production). What's next? Who knows... but in terms of "slightly-less-commercial-but-not-quite-dubfire-underground" house music I've liked everything since the minimal bubble burst.

thats actually quite accurate. good historicla summary

For me it went from minimal to tech house, to nu-disco and now to the all-encompassing deep house.

What's with the deep house fad? We went from electro house, to more electro house, to dubstep, to drum n bass to deep house being played on the radio.

I'm rather bored of deep house at this point. I too wonder what will happen next. My guess is that it will slow down some more. I base this on absolutely nothing though.

Was really weird hearing Mr Probz on Z100 (the local pop music station), though if electronic music is gonna get played on commercial radio, better that than Hardwell...
