Guest Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 It is said that minimal is no more than (tribute to) the fashion however, i do like it. What do you think of the minimal ? some favorite djs/artists ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsu Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Minimal is around for quite some time now and it is getting more known lattely. I still think that it is more than just a trend or fashion. But I don't like it at all, it's not music I understand. To me it sounds just like a beat with some noises over it. But I guess this is not really a surprise since I don't like a lot of progressive so minimal is far away from what I like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krelmatrix Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I fucking love this shit. A lot of the classic Kompakt-esque minimal sort of bores me, but this minimal-tech-house hybrid that I've been hearing lately (especially from Scandanavia) is the dog's balls. Wicked stuff - some of it is IMO more psychedelic than most "psychedelic" trance being released nowadays. It also works as a great crossover to some more subtle electro-house sounds. Some of my favorites... Trentemøller (the king) Martinez (this guy is a fucking god in studio!!!!) Maetrik (the Texan who sounds more German than most Germans) Minilogue (their recent stuff on Traumschallplatten & Frosty Music) Kalle M Jussi Pekka Matthias Schaffhäuser cool labels: Out of Orbit (my absolute favorite label these days) Frozen North Recordings Audiomatique Poker Flat Deeplay/Deeplay Soultec Worldless Productions Also keep an eye out for a new Swedish label called Frosty Music - I've only heard samples so far, but they are really pushing the new Minilogue minimal sound. And just for a little plug, there is going to be quite a bit of this style during the first hour of my internet radio broadcast tonight. Check it out on www.mercurysessions.com - the show is called Broken Symmetry and comes on from 8-10pm German time (2-4pm NYC time). The mix in the first hour starts off with some more minimal sounds and also has a bit of the dirty electro-tech-house in it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have some of the tracks from his album that was released on Treibstoff earlier this year. Does he have a new 12" out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I don't keep myself updated on any 12", I am refering to the album entitled 'casi profundo'. you must hear the first track 'defiance', if not the entire album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way the track develops from the beginning is excellent. I also really dig "Funnels" from the album as well. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
