I have been meaning to start this thread for a while now....
Do you guys think the minimal sound is the next big fad in EDM? Much like the bleepy electro sound that took over last year...
I start this thread because over the last little while I have noticed alot of the big guns incorporating alot more minimal style tunes into thier sets...Diggers is almost full blown minimal now, Sasha has been playing alot of minimal type stuff, Deep Dish have thrown in a ton of minimal style tunes into their live sets, even Lawler was rocking some minimal and is new promo is almost all minimal. Angelo and Ingrosso's new track is of the minimal style. Minimal seems to be everywhere now...and it's been seeping in for a while now.
What do the rest of you think? Am I alone on this or what?

13. THE SHEEP
Some of the sheep are now into funky, wearing shirts with white collars and have their hair kinda mulleted at the back with a spiky bit in the middle. The other herd of sheep are still into Hard House, but its the London scene thats on it now man, ya know like Karim, proper Hard Hard House, though of course in 6 months time theyll be slating that when someone from the board says its crap. The sheep are incapable of making their own decisions and will scour the board looking to see whats cool, and whats not, then jump onto whatever bandwagon comes along next.
People diverting to minimal in ....3....2....1......(months)
I dunno i've been listening to it for over a year or so, and i've liked it. It suits me.

Minimal bothers me. It's just not right. How the hell do you dance to it? It doesn't move me at all, and I can't sit and listen to something that is so soul-less (to me, at least).

Yeah to each his own you know? To be honest it's hit or miss with people. I think even with those that like minimal. Some tracks just don't go with me very well.
