your thoughts on minimal..

[DannyBlack]

I'm yet to find any minimal that I like. It lacks soul completely. I'm sure there are someout there (somewhere) that are passionate about it and will make some truley astounding... ah who am I kidding. Minimal is craptastic.

Check out the Marek Bois (aka Dapayk) remix on this one:

Still pretty slow etc, but it's got nuts!

(can't listen to the sample in work, so am hoping it's caught the build up part...)

Anna - Schwarzes Gold
Worthy - Work the Walls (Yankee Zulu Remix)
Trentemoller - Nam Nam EP / Polar Shift
Seth Troxler - Love Spray
Wighnomy Bros - Pele Bloss
Da Fresh - A night at the beach (DJ Fex remix)

Make the same statement above after tasting a bit of this minimal on a big system...

Scwarez Gold- has a bit of a Gech Noch in it. And a Neill Armstrong sample, ouch...
Work the walls- aint so bad at all, nice and funky and the sub bass is appreciated! :-) . The original is god awful though.
Nam Nam EP- there is too much nothing going on in that track.
Love Spray- I love the pure rawness of this track, but again it is let down by going nowhere at all.
Pele Bloss- a complete hark back to Acid house and on that basis I like this track. Splendid.
A night at the beach- I'm really not feeling this track at all.

I guess I just don't understand it at all. My opinion is pretty biased too I guess, we are force fed minimal down our way.

haha, that Armstrong sample is awful and completely useless in an otherwise great track (my subjective opinion of course)...

check:

Samuel L.Session - Can you relate
Sami Koivikko - Keskus
Minilogue - Elephants Parade
Tiefschwarz - Lionel
Stephan Bodzin - Treibsand
Efdemin - Just a Track
Itamar Sagi - Black Gold
Louderbach - Grace (Anxiety)
Heartthrob - Baby Kate


Hope you enjoy them!

Its a loose category though.

If you use mnml to describe stupid shuffly cartoon stuff then yeah, its not all that. But thats more the fault of the djs playing it, who in turn are doing it because crowds like it.

Check out Audion. I always like that side of things. Got a bit of a rave feel, and a bit of brutality iin the production.

Few of my faves:
