[ds2]

anyone else really into this?

nope, not one bit and if i hear the word minimal to describe this type of dull
as **** plod one more time i'm gonna slot someone.

where's the beef gone and the attitude?

hood, mills, tanaka, dbx, rachmad, female & regis... that's minimal.
not this watered down house friendly dogshit that's suddenly become the new
big thing and labelled pioneering by former progressive and tech-house trendies.

roll on frank de wulf next month for some proper ****ing party tunes.


no offence meant oldbugger :lol:

[oldbugger]

hahaha non taken you cunt :lol:

[conflict]

i've got it and listened to it again and again but not feeling it

no way near as good as that mad eye tune he did

number 2 i think

the red one

[Stodgy]

excellent production as you'd expect, just not gonna do it for me at the height of the night.

On the other hand they've both got a groove that would get me shuffling at the start of a sesh

[Aratron]

try pounding grooves mate

[massplanck]

try pounding grooves mate

Gte back into the metropolis forum you.

[Dustin Zahn]

I like this one a lot. Not as good as his Mad Eye stuff, but I prefer Beyer's new sound way over the trite compressed drummy shit.

[dirty_bass]

All production and no content in my ears.
Rather than trying new stuff people are missing the point and just jumping on the bandwagon of whatever is popular right now.
The reason minimal became popular is because it was different to the fields of loop techno being churned out. Now minimal will go the same way as loopy stuff.
Does no one have any balls any more?

[SlavikSvensk]

it's not rob hood, but it's solid. i'm not falling head over heels for it, but i also don't dislike it.

i've got to say, if anyone wants to hear adam beyer do amazing, emotional "minimal" you should try to get a hold of conceiled project pattern 104 on svek from 1998. that's still one of the best techno records i've ever heard.

[eyeswithoutaface]

i quite enjoyed this one i must say, id rather he tried branching out a little than put out more of the older stuff, as i became very disillusioned with his stuff for a while

3. i want to be ball less

BOLLOX

in db's defense, I don't think he's referring to you when he says bandwagon jumpers and I can see exactly what he's saying about the looped stuff and mnml going the same way. I think the balls think may be referring to the producers of this stuff and not the fans.

[eyeswithoutaface]

now now girls

people like this stuff for different reasons, i personally love minimal stuff because of the stripped back approach and hypnotic sense of feeling it gives off, there's something pretty neat about getting excited about just a kick, bass and percussions, some will think thats lazy, some wont, but thats about the be all and end all for me. As i said i know id personally rather Beyer was doing this than more of the usual drumcode stuff

but even saying that, this release is alot more clubby than most of the minimal stuff i like, way more in fact. One of my fave labels at the moment is KliteKture, which is very different to this release yet its ethos is minimal, klicks, glitches, forced errors etc etc

i dunno, each to their own, and that takes alot for little ol me to say!

[oldbugger]

i do think he was talking about the producers, its still arrogant as **** though.

im staying out of this..eveytime that guy opens his mouth it just spills out arrogance. so i'm ignoring from now on.

[Stella Boy]

I do like the tracks, very nice indeed but it's just another release falling in line with the current crop of minimal records. It'd sound great cut into some sterac, tanaka or early carola.

TBH the minimal argument, like the loopy argument, is getting quite boring and people could argue the toss all day on what is mnml and what isn't, what counts is good music and surely that's what counts. For the producers who argue against the current crop of mnml, put up or shut up, if you're a promotor don't book 'em and it's quite easy for vinyl buyers, don't buy if you don't like it.
