I honestly thought like that, until I went to an event with minimal DJ's. And found myself dancing proper. :D |

I didn't say TECH as in TECHNO. As in Tech house/Electro and he incorps minimal tracks into it as well. Making him not entirely a minimal DJ. |

keep in mind that this thread is not about whether or not you like the minimal sound...it's about noticing a trend and your thoughts on where it might go. if it will have enough momentum to survive etc etc.
discussion not proclamation please. |

Many times when deejays play minimal, people stop and think wtf...Whereas I go nuts to it...and for those who can understand it...it is very danceable. Sarah, and my friends Billy and George have joined me on some ocassions with this heh.
Apparently I liked minimal techno before I even knew what it was. I had a bunch of tunes over a year ago that I loved before I knew what it is. When I first heard Richie Hawtin play some at last year's Gub 9 Year I didn't like it at all. I thought it was too slow and undanceable. A few weeks later, Lee Osbourne played a very good minimal set before Miss Kitten at System and I was in love. When I found out what it was I like WTF! I It quickly grew on me, and it has been my favourite genre of edm for months now. Minimal involves less sound samples and instruments.....but my ears love it and they tell me that less = more. Beep Blip Blurp Squeak! I love the randomness and ridiculousness that is minimal techno...it's very unpredictable. I'm really glad that alot more deejays are playing this sort of conventional edm, but they may overdue it. As far as how far it will go...I don't think the mainstream crowd will ever like it, but I do see it becoming very popular...for about a year or so.
Some of my fav artists/deejays: Misstress Barbara, Luciano, Troy Pierce, John Mills, Magda, Loco Dice, Thomas Schumacher, Matt John, Lee Van Dowski, Tania Vulcano, Gabriel Ananda
I <3 MNML!! :) |

FINE.
Yeah I can see that. Hernan even, his new sequential CD starts minimal.I dunno if it will carry on. It's not like tech house or tribal, it's not really for everyone like the aforementioned genres. However, the flocks of sheep work in mysterious ways... lol.:D |

but what i've been noticing is almost a new style of minimal being brought out and incorporated into sets...
minimal...but not so minimal...yet still minimal at the same time.
hahahhahaha
if that makes any sense.... |
