Hahaha, that is not true at all. I listen to trance, classical, techno, and some house - but yes, dnb/jungle is probably my favourite. :p I just never got into minimal. I guess I don't "understand" it like everyone else. |

I like this minimal trend a whole hell of a lot better than the electro one!!!! Cant stress that enough.
But....

Don't like how much minimal has done to kill hard techno and generally slow down bpm in techno, but that's just me.

The set Liebing played earlier on last year (not the 21st of december one) at footwork describes that sound pretty well i guess. |
ing EH! That was a most incredible of sets! My favourite from 2007.
Simply otherworldly for me. |

A full minimal set is very hard to do right. Also, a lot of new minimal tracks are pretty cheesy. However, my favourite kind of set would be a mix of tech-house, minimal, and/or techno.
ala Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, Richie Hawtin, Marco Carola, John Gaiser, Marc Houle |
I just posted a gaiser set in the techno thread. That guy is absolutely amazing, i love that type of minimal- no real buildups, never gets to hard but the beat just doesnt stop and it is always groovy :) |

carola set in the gallery was not minimal, it was more techno than anything else even though he did drop a few minimal tracks here and there
as for minimal, i have not so far heard a proper minimal set in toronto yet, while we do get to see a lot of djs who do play around with it minimal is nowhere near what is happening in europe where it took over. I don't go to many events so whoever thinks i'm wrong can correct me. Most events (90%) are house in toronto with occasional trance, dnb, techno, psy event. So far i've heard only a few sets with majority of minimal, audiofly, richie hawtin, nathan barato occasionally, manzone and strong occasionally, johnny white, kenny glasgow, lee burridge (sometimes) a few more.. |

ive noticed many have difficulty distinguishing between minimal, techno, tech house. as for minimal, i like it in smaller amounts. as said earlier, a pure minimal set would probably get really boring. but throw it in with some other genres and its quite effective, quite like what roaches, vjs, and some others do |

i disagree, you have to know how to do it properly and it will not be boring at all. You don't drop same with the same beat over and over, you have to play around, there is so much variety in minimal out there, it's not just one sound.
Most proper minimal/techno djs we don't even see booked in Toronto just because they are too expensive and the turn out is . Villalobos, Luca Bachetti, Boris Brejcha, Gui Boratto, Luciano, Gaiser, Pan Pot, Radio Slave etc etc |
