First, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimalism Then, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimalist_music Then this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_techno This gives you a pretty good idea of what minimal EDM is. However, do not forget that this is highly debate matter. In fact, minimal lovers do not agree, as you can see here: http://www.mnml.nl/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=20539 wotyzoid tsc tsc tsc... *smacks forehead* outb4hawtinowl Mr.Mystery Whatever "regular" people think it is, it is not. No matter what they actually think. julien2 quote: Originally posted by Mr.Mystery Whatever "regular" people think it is, it is not.

Tech House is kind of more what it is? I thought true minimal techno was just like clik clak tsk julien2 quote: Originally posted by TranceArmstrong i dont think I know, but all the music on beatport labeled as 'minimal' isn't, right? Tech House is kind of more what it is? I thought true minimal techno was just like clik clak tsk Yes and no. True minimal techno and minimal house (microhouse) (Monolake, Plastikman, Robert Henke, etc...) has long been out. Although I still listen to it. They now have been merged into the tech-house label. But minimal is not just clik clak tsk. It is a concept (minimalism). Layers of percussions, beats, no synths, purely abstract percussive melodies. stevieboy32808 quote: Originally posted by julien2 no. minimal has been around way before your trance existed. please, do not post if you do not know what you are talking about what year did minimal start? julien2 quote: Originally posted by stevieboy32808 what year did minimal start? :rolleyes: http://www.itsatrap.net/ jonSun lullaby techno luisjb82 quote: Originally posted by julien2 ... minimal is not just clik clak tsk.
