Minimal is Over Predicts German Minimal Star
Kristan Beyer from German electronic duo Ame chatted to Skrufff this week about their already hugely successful minimal tech-house anthem Rej and revealed that he absolutely loathes most minimal music.
³Some tracks are good but in my opinion 90% of this music is bull,² said Kristan.
³Rej is a big hit with the American guys like Louis Vegas, Francois Kevorkian, Timmy Regisford as well as the minimal guys like Richie Hawtin but weıve never made minimal music and I donıt like minimal music at all,² he stressed.
³We think itıs only popular because itıs the best music to accompany the drugs people do these days. In Germany we call it ketamine music,² he added.
The former Sonar Kollektiv star and Jazzanova peer stressed Ame come from a more traditional house and techno musicı background and predicted minimalıs days are numbered.
³Even in Berlin, people are starting to get bored of this music,² he said.
³I know a lot of people on the scene, Steve Bug, for example, is a good friend of mine, as are the guys doing the Perlon label, who are famous for minimal and theyıre bored of it. Berlinıs where it started and the fact the people there are bored of it, to me means there will be a big impact on it in a couple of months and minimal will go down and something new will emerge. I donıt know what style, maybe house?² he guessed.
UK house star Felix Buxton from Basement Jaxx also admitted to feeling less than impressed with most of what passes for minimal, telling One Week To Live donıt get me wrong it serves a purpose and sounds good in clubs but the riffs are all just old house riffs. And most of them are quite boring, considering itıs meant to be futuristic house music,² he added,
Ames Rej is (re)- released on Defected Records imminently, with two new remixes by the Pasta Boys and 100 Birds.

I just saw Steve Bug and he played a fairly CRAZY set, but not all of it was minimal. Just A LOT. :p
I agree with this article though, 90% of minimal IS . For every hundred minimal tunes I listen to (and I could listen to practically 100 new ones a day) i may find 10 I like, if that sometimes. |

Progressive with melodic constructions and electroish elements, without the tsss tak tak of the minimal: that's the next big thing. The prog electro thing is too hype for me.
Edit: abouta sample of what I'm speaking |
