Start The War On Minimal

[davethedrummer]

*3. with the more innovative minimal out there, the better producers tend to use simple ideas in creative ways that you often find yourself saying "damn, its so simple, but so ****ing sick...why didnt I think of that"... this of course is dependent on the quality of the production....*



yes i agree with this too
but then thats really relevant to all music wouldn't you say?

anyway for what it's worth EVERYWHERE i go at the moment people are not just moaning about the music itself ie: minimal.

but they are moaning about how ALL their favorite clubs/ DJs are playing either minimal or electro now, and they don't have any choice any more , that seems to be the main gripe.
and i can see where they are coming from.

I was in Belgium on Friday and people were positively frothing about what i was doing
mainly because they'd not heard it before.

it wasn't just me playing to a bunch of acid techno heads who knew all the tracks,
no these were kids who are genuinely fed up with everyone playing the same thing
and just wanted to hear something different for a change.

there does seem to be a bit of a backlash going on i must admit.

+1. I wouldn't bitch about it half as much if our town wasn't saturated with the tripe.
Same reason that I hate Deep Spunky House too. The toughest machoest chavvy scumbags in the town listen to the gayest of the gayest music ever to penetrate your ear arse.

yes I agree with ya Henry, but the stuff that you guys make usually has me goin... " shit, I can't even begin to conceptualize how you did that..." which has just as much of an impact to me really. LOL.

What's interesting is that here in the states, minimal takes a back seat to electro house .... just like a lot of European cats made that sharp left back in 03, a lot of good American DJ's made a sharp right and went Electro...
