Minimal really isnt minimal....

It's funny...

Most of what people call "mnml" these days just seems to sound like what Akufen was doing a few years back - when it used to be called "microhouse", which I think is kind of a more accurate (if supremely pretentious) name for it.

I tend to think that minimalism is more of an approach than anything else. It's doing a lot with little, or at least attempting to do so. So much "mnml" seems to just be lots of little clicky noises and stuff with sparse processing.

exactly. 80 per cent of the stuff i hear thats labelled minimal i just view as new age house. which aint bad,i like some house now an again.

mark you hit the nail on the head with techno is techno .... all this breaking it up into diffrent genres is bit silly i think and is almost people tryin to get away from the word techno like its got the lurgy or something he he ...
The reason we started the techno experiment is to try and break down these walls and party under one roof to TECHNO.
