I really like the new stuff

Basically I'd say everything that Hawtin is playing at the moment is *ahem* new school minimal.
That new Adam Beyer track - A walking contradiction is fantastic. And would probably fall into the minimal category.

To be honest, with all the pounding loopy techno, distorted schranz sound and full on hard tech everywhere I think that anything that has clean tight production, a bit of a shuffle and lurks around 130-135 can end up being classed as minimal.

So, in conclusion (I'm sure I am going somewhere with this) I think the New Minimal is characterised by what it is not, rather than what it is.
