Well put. At the end of the day, which 'genre' you perceive a certain piece of music falls into depends on your outlook, and what exactly you gain from the music, on a personal level.
For me. it's all goddam techno, it's just nice as a dj not to be restricted to slamming it out every time you get behind the decks. After all, we're not always playing peak-of-night sets to sweaty, heaving dancefloors are we?
With the variety offered by minimal, techno, and everything which lies in between, it's possible to play as your emotions take you, often resulting in a far deeper, more involving performance.
