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.

I'll get my coat.


yeah i've got a walking contradiction, not to big on minimal but i like some of it. Would have to agree with you on hawtin though, i see him as a minimal dj. Adam beyer seems to like doing things abit harder and funkyer when hes made a tune with someone else he kinda switches two and through, however i have a swedish friend who says minimal techno seems to be the new black in sweden??? I could imagin all the perfectionists out there likeing their minimal techno .
