Why are we all going minimal?

[The Divide]

Me personally, I’m finding grime or dubstep much more straight up, innovative and exciting. I don’t have a problem with this as for me its sounding more techno than most techno does as it has a little more than a lazily produced half baked loop. Dont agree? So sue me :lol:

heavy heavy heavy ;) thats what im talking bout bruv...da gal dem shake dat batty high n shake da batty low

hehe hotness

Stop , wait, raise your fist, raise your fist. Tasha, shes ruff like dat shes a masha, she mash you up rude bowwwwwyyyy

I´d heard the term grime before and not known what it was, so thanks for the link. Thing is, that just sounds like a Top Buzz mix from 1993. Just sounds like old skool breakbeat hardcore. Hey, I like it, but it´s not new!!! Break beats, dark b-lines, stab sounds, bad bwoy mc. This is just Moondance all over again!!

;)

Yeah I mean, I like grime.. but it's really nothing new.

Try some of the dixxy rascal stuff and the london grime thing. It`s more glitchy, computery, and seriously ****ed up.

I don't mind minimal, there's a lot of good stuff out there, I just hate the hype created around it. I've seen guys switching from techno to schranz to electro and minimal. What will be next: gabber ?

Minimal techno is the new thing whether you like it or not.

I love it for sure BUT let's be honest, we did hear about this 10 years ago via Rob Hood.

Anyway, loving some of this shit. Just need to discuss this more.

Why are we alll going minimal??????????????????

:)

because the 808 just sounds great on its own !
although this experiment was carried out succesfully in the mid 80's

[Ritzi Lee]

guys... we are not going minimal arn't we?!?

last time i saw an article where they explained:
"minimal was the answer against the harder techno".

[tocsin]

Minimal techno is the new thing whether you like it or not.

I'm still not sure I understand this statement as of page 6 anymore than I did when it was page 1. Someone really needs to explain how this is the new thing? I still don't hear minimal when I go out. If it's the new black for some scene, well, that scene is likely in it's death throes.
