Actually, I'm going to have to agree with her. Most of the people I know that really enjoy mnml are always sober. It probably has nothing to do with liking the music, but I just found it interesting. I don't think the same applies to the deejays though lol.

I think this probably has more to do with the fact that a lot of people who listen to minimal are older and have already gone through their harder partying days.

Digweed has been playing minimal in his Kiss100 sets for some time. I'm not sure if this exactly fits you're definition of minimal but there is no denying that alot of the tracks he is dropping are definately of the minimal nature.

As for Angello and Ingrosso, I did not call them minimal, so save your teeth If you have heard their new track "Click" you cannot deny that it has a minimal theme to it. Not exactly falling into the minimal genre but definately with a strong minimal influence. And this track is a perfect example of the style of minimal that is making it's way into the cd collection of the big guns. Tunes that are of the minimal style, yet with enough *umph* to them to appeal to the haus masses and still get their asses shakin' on the dance floor. Ame - Rej is another perfect example of this. EVERYONE is playing this track right now and crowds are eating it up.

*edit - it's all a matter of personal opinion really. sure, it has tribal influence - but overall the track reaks of minimalism

my point exactly.

not minimal per se, but of the minimal nature.

minimal, yet not so minimal.

It definately has a lot of minimal influence though.

As for minimal being the next big thing; I said the exact same thing last night at a bar that minimal will be the next big trend. A lot of DJ's are starting to adopt the minimal sound into their sets, so it's only a matter of time before it gets overplayed the way electro-house was.

edit: and I agree with Jeff when he said that minimal doesn't have the same mainstream appeal that electro-house did/does.

Prediction of the year: people will start throwing around the term 'minimal' like its going out of style, jon jon will go mental chicken oriental, and come to the next TA Invasion with bombs strapped to his body shouting "MINIMAL! ELECTRO! MINIMAL! ELECTRO! I CANT TAKE IT ANYMORE FUCK!"

I would not call REJ minimal, but we're splitting hairs now, aren't we? (I'd say tech trance almost...but it's pretty unique compared to much of what is being produced now)

I guess what I'm saying is its irksome to hear tracks come from people like Angello and Ingrosso trying to popularize on the minimal trend. People hear something with a minimal influence and then think minimal sounds like that. It's just how people hear Ace of Base for the first time and call it house music, or people hear DJ Dan and call him a techno DJ. For any true lover of the genre, it's a bit painful.

It's not really hard, minimal is just that - minimal.

Very few ingredients, strategically arranged and manipulated to sound like Atari 2600.

I don't get it how it's minimal in anyway? Because it has melody keys? I'm with Sarah on this totally, it's tech-trance. The song has 12 layers fuck.
