The fact remains for me personally, minimal techno is the sound that is exciting me most atm, its the music I want to spend my money on. I actually find it difficult to find much good quality harder techno right now, dustin zahn, the divide, paul bailey, surgeon etc all know the score, but other than those its not really grabbing me by the bollox so ill leave it to other people so I can go out and enjoy it fully that way in the club environment. But buying wise, the minimal/tech house side is the music I want to spend my money on and mix with.

Why people have to get so anal about this is beyond me, its not like this music is some kind of awful cheesy brainless rubbish you'd find in your local ritzy club or something, its well made and refreshing.

If you dont enjoy it, fine, its not for everyone, but why keep going on about it ? Its asif this scene was as narrow minded as Hitler and that change is the work of the devil :roll:
:clap: well said fordy. i'm with you 100% hearing people slate the whole minimal thing really shows how pathetic some people are IMO its getting really boring.

theres no scene thats as exciting as minimal at the moment..not by a long shot. suits me down to the ground. always been intio tech house and the not so hard side of techno...so happy days.
Yup, spot on. Its bringing new people onto the likes of Hawtin, girls are listening to 'techno' without being dragged along by their boyfriends ffs, people pushing this music are making proper nights about the music not the money, in warehouses, obscure spaces just suitable simply for some good music, what is wrong with this, isnt this what its supposed to be about ? People are dancing, the music is hitting them intellectually, and this music is clearly a closer relation to original detroit techno in the first place I think. Harder techno has imploded, its time to start again, strip things down, minimal is doing that, it along with other sounds are moving on!

IMO anyways.
