minimal minimal everywhere minimal.

no disrespect to it or anything....i do enjoy a good minimal track here and there.

but....it seems that its all the regular techno guys are making right now (aside from electro house). i go to sort through the record shops and mp3 shops and surf the techno section.....everything that is considered techno now is Minimal.....and when i listen to the minimal section, that music is even more minimal than the minimal they now call techno....

i've always been a dj who is diverse in when it comes to techno....but it seems like im going to have to start getting into ketamine to enjoy most of the stuff that is coming out lately. and if i look for some hard techno all i find really is REALLY HARD schranz....where is the happy medium techno i love so much?

yet another whinging post

if you dont like minimal, why waste your time moaning about it?

There is tons of non-minimal techno out there if you just look

i really dont understand post's like this at all, i mean what were you hoping to achieve with this post? what did you want to say that hasnt been said about every subgenre within techno a million times before?

There is tons of non-minimal techno out there if you got off your lazy ass and had a look instead of whinging

sorry but thats how it is, i learnt myself years ago there's no point moaning about something you dont like, so why waste your energy?

Why don't you take your own advice then and quit whining about people whining about minimal because there's always going to be whiners? I don't know what's worse...a whiner or a self-righteous cock.

Minimal is what it is. Mathmatical, barren, pretty souless. It's only started to bug me as finds its way into house music. House on the soulful end, and minimal on the clinical end, The two just don't go together very well.

yeah right.
not offensive at all.

btw, sorry for posting in a thread that has "nothing to do with me". I'll be sure to keep out of the Techno Discussion forum in future.

im glad you know how to quote, but its a shame you dont know what context to quote in. That wasnt what you claimed below, which was "continous moaning at someone", that was the FIRST thing i said to the guy, which technically makes it the first actual interaction me and that guy have had, thus rendering your "continous moaning at someone" point null and void.

and you dont have to apologise to me mate, you can post here no worries, the more the merrier :)

[eyeswithoutaface]

no self-righteousness at all

just a low tolerance of people who seemingly dont have a great a grasp on their own tastes as they seem to think they do.

to quote "ive always been a dj who is diverse when it comes to techno" - shouldnt have any trouble finding stuff you want then surely???

just another rant about a genre that this person doesnt even like

like i say, i dont understand it, so why not try explaining the point of threads like this, what the aim of the thread etc etc instead of just jumping on the offensive because somebody said something which actually has a nip of truth in it?

no need to start calling people names, that'l only get you banned in the end mate, no need for it so chill yourself out

Rob Hood is minimal. Whats wrong with rob hood? Oh thats right not that type of minimal.

Just buy all the great old records you havent got, if you cant find new stuff. Old tresor, old luke slater, old rob hood (minimal), basic channel(minimal), whatever. All the great middle stuff is out there new & old . Good records are never handed on a plate to you , you have to hunt them down.

exactly, where would the fun be in that if everything you wanted was handed to you on a plate? Looking for the records you want is always more fun, and usually throws up a few nice surprises that you didnt know you were looking for in the first place

i never said i dont like minimal. im just wondering why thats all everyone seems to be making/playing/listening to?

i guess there isnt much point to this post you are right but you dont need to be such a jerk about it

try explaining the point of such randomly moaning threads and maybe you wont get people who are involved in the scene your berating giving you their opinions. It's the same for every subgenre, music bobs along in waves, one year everyone is making hard techno, the next everyone will be making tribal etc and it just repeats and repeats, that's how it goes. Those who truely love and have a commitement to making said style will always shine through and be there when those who jump the wagon are onto their next thing

pot calling the kettle black im afraid mate, that radiohead thread was hilarious ;)

pot calling the kettle black im afraid mate, that radiohead thread was hilarious ;)

in what way is it the pot calling the kettle black son?

in that thread, I was voicing concerns about the actions of millionaire popstars making it harder for independent artists to make a living (which if you found hilararious you must either be very, very easily amused or as thick as pigshit).
you, on the other hand, were continually whinging at someone who was concerned that there's a lack of good hard techno around and that everyone is jumping on the minimal bandwagon, despite the fact they'd explained themselves in a civilised and coherant way.

like I said, give it a rest.
try to treat your fellow forum users with a little more respect and not go on the offensive every time someone posts an opinion that's different to yours.

no disrespect to it or anything....i do enjoy a good minimal track here and there.

but....it seems that its all the regular techno guys are making right now (aside from electro house). i go to sort through the record shops and mp3 shops and surf the techno section.....everything that is considered techno now is Minimal.....and when i listen to the minimal section, that music is even more minimal than the minimal they now call techno....

i've always been a dj who is diverse in when it comes to techno....but it seems like im going to have to start getting into ketamine to enjoy most of the stuff that is coming out lately. and if i look for some hard techno all i find really is REALLY HARD schranz....where is the happy medium techno i love so much?

I know what you mean. I am trying to produce stuff that would fit into that description. This trend won't go on forever and his brought us some great music already. This trend, as any other, will have to be beaten to death before it comes to a halt.
