Kompakt mp3 would be a good starting point
Start with the Kompakt total series.
Some stuff is housier other more is towards the techno side of things.

log in to http://www.kompakt-net.com/ and look at the ''news'' section
and the ''mp3'' section. Listen and if you hear something you like buy it.
If there is a new minimal track, that is good, most of the time its there on vinyl.
I do downloading from them frequently.
And using the news section I see what is out there and use beatport
or download straight from the labels,
or buy the 12'' using any us recordstore.
I would highly recomend that site as a starting point to all things minimal

Kompakt is complete fluff nowadays. I'd also stay away from Dominik Eulberg for the most part, he's going in the same direction as James Holden and Nathan Fake... yuck.

He is, I like that whole Border Community sound. At least for home listening purposes..

When going out, nothing beats a good Rumenige & Loktibrada-type offbeat set. Wondering how much of you here are into THAT stuff..

No seriously, people associate Holden with the progressive genre
but its not thats not the case at all.
All that was like 5 tears ago.
He is putting out some great minimal music these days.

wtf is progressive anyways?

And the "prog" he has put out or our mixed has always owned all the other prog out there.

Start by getting this cd.


Various artists - Poker flat

I always wanted to listen to some techno, but never got the chance to search for stuff like that.

I'd like to hear some Tech-House or Minimal, on the more Tribal-istic side, would appriciate any reccomendations

ok, I'm pretty deep into techno too. Mainly tribal or swedish sound with high funkfactor or good atmosphere, and electro or acid influences are most welcome.

Some of my favs (includes some techhouse)...

Alexi Delano - Acid Burning
Andrew McLauchlan - Love Story (Re-Edit)
Adam Beyer & Henrik B - Identify Yourself
Cari Lekebusch - Dance Of Light + Exed Out
Funk D'Void - Diabla (Heavenly Mix)
Joel Mull & Peter Benisch - Luminosity
Mauro Picotto & Riccardo Ferri - Greens
Phil Kieran - I Love You (Beyer & Lenk Mix)
Technasia - Nebula Dance
The Mantis - Renegade
Urban Warrior - Darkwark (Electron Edit)

Another fine example of a tune exactly fitting my taste:

Portion Reform - Shift worker [DOWNWARDS 001]

Too bad the rest of the 2x12" doesn't come close in terms of quality.. Don't really feel like buying it just for this one.
