For anybody who's afraid Mr Paap has gone a bit too minimal these days

[koma]

i dont think he's doing it for the money
there's not that much money in minimal as people usually thinks there is...

anyway, this guy has been around for years and years and its not like he was never experimenting with different sound...

I'm not all that fond of the minimal stuff on that clip(and to be honest i'm not a huge fan of Speedy J's techno stuff either).......here's a question though....why is it bad that he's making minimal, but no one even mentions the fact that he made trance for years? To me that suggests that people here are more inclined towards trance than techno.

I don't think there's genuine hatred of 'mnml' here, or at least not as much as people are making out. It's a byproduct of having a close-knit scene that there ends up a hate figure, and in this particular time and place that hate is currently channeled towards 2 guys who happen to have had more than one interest in the past 20 years.

sorry darren.. sounds pretty boring to me :)

the only reason i say that is coz ive seen the lad BANG it out.. and i know what he can do production wise, when he wants to (old tracks on ED, Novamute etc..) he is able to make the sexiest hard techno, or the craziest breakbeat idm-style stuff when he wants. even his early mnml stuff was classs (1st 30 mins of loudboxer era)
this is pretty pants in relation.
