Hell yes, this just made my day!

[grannock]

Ive never understood this genre label. Why do they call things minimal that has so much actually going on? Do they just try and differentiate from banger party housr/techno?

[chiapet]

I hope that means there is a SF date. I'd like to not to go to Hard.

[Ross1492]

Oooh. Hope TI snags Talabot and School of Seven Bells. Those 2 alone would ensure my attendance.

Who is they and what music in particular are you speaking about? The name of this thread shouldnt throw you off, there are a bunch of different sounds in here.

Haha my sentiments exactly! Glad Culture Collide picked him up cause I wouldn't have bought a ticket just for him and Joey. I would have wept at home instead.

I will admit i have not scanvanged through this entire thead. However, when i hear respected people talk about "minimal" as a genre it really throws me off. Why and where does the term minimal apply to interesting house and techno?

[Ross1492]

We had this discussion in this thread w/in the first 10 pages IIRC. When people talk about minimal techno they usually mean the m-nus type stuff of the mid-noughties, but it has other connotations of a more aged vintage.

"Minimal" house, to me, is really what people commonly refer to as micro-house.

Edit: Feel free to disregard all of the above. People far more knowledgeable than I have far more enlightening thoughts on the mattter.

[RoughSteez]

No I'd agree that is a good push in the right direction. Just peruse this thread, especially in the beginning, and you'll find great examples with discussion on the topic. It's evolved quite a bit, and now its used as a more general term which can be pretty confusing to someone who doesn't follow techno closely. Purists will argue that it's often misused in today's context though, so much of this is debatable anyways. Good luck.

[grannock]

At least im on the right track when i say the genre is confusin at first glance, ill explore the thread, thanks.

Hey guys, I just finished this track and would love to know what you all think of it. If you like it everything on my bandcamp is free:

Your guys' lack of response makes me sad I was hoping from some good comments/feedback from avid mnml fans. Do any of you produce?

This is the last spam post I promise.

This Shifted RA podcast is scaring the shit out of me

Nate, I did listen you to your Herald track yesterday but not on my good headphones or intently. I will, and I'll give you my feedback.

* Edit: Shifted RA podcast is now my favorite mix of the year.

Thanks Guedita, you da best. And yeah that Prurient song it opens with is quite terrifying at first. Pretty awesome way to start the mix though haha.

[RoughSteez]

Nate: freq death and Herald are real solid pieces of work! When I get some time tomorrow I'll write a quick opinion, as I have a bit of reading to do for school tonight.

I have not had a chance to listen to this yet. Still trying to listen to tracks and mixes sent to me in November. I have this giant list of links and downloads that I go through systematically. And yes, folks here produce.

The Droid crew is starting to make it difficult to stay home on Thursday nights...Donato Dozzy July 12th.

[RoughSteez]

Well fuck, that totally made my day!


Also came in here to sing praises for this mix:

mnml ssgs is all excited about this recording. I haven't listened to it yet, but expect it's going to be good.

Carsten Jost + Lawrence, live @ the Betalounge, October 5, 2002

I've listened to it in full twice already and can't stop groovin'. I had never seen this before, I'm glad it wasn't lost.

[flea73]

Well fuck, that totally made my day!

I thought you'd be pleased about that, I'll see you there.
