**fac** · 11-08-2006, 01:59 PM

Minimals the new punk innit.

**TechMouse** · 11-08-2006, 02:30 PM

I agree actually.

It means all the bandwagon jumpers churning out sub-par Techno will jump to minimal, and Hard Techno will get better.

**massplanck** · 11-08-2006, 04:56 PM

yes all this bandwagon jumping is terrible. just like in the late 80's i& early 90's when people started listening to 'techno' & 'jungle'.

**basslinejunkie** · 11-08-2006, 05:06 PM

exactly,we all jumped on the bandwagon at some stage.

its just a fase in my opinion,it wasnt so long ago that every tom dick an harry was incorporating techno in their sets.

**A.P.** · 11-08-2006, 05:25 PM

So where's all the mininininininini gone then

**fatcollective** · 11-08-2006, 05:33 PM

i think the only good thing about everyone going minimal is that all the producers who have reverted to producing minimal say from producing hard techno or funky or what ever, this should then leave a gap for all the newer producers producing harder or funkier stuff a chance to get their foot in the door....or may be not......just a thought!!

**eyeswithoutaface** · 11-08-2006, 08:02 PM

a gap? anyone can a foot in the door these days, absolutely anyone. It's not even a case of "oh if enough people are doing this, more people can do that", as long as there is always labels and you are shrewd enough in your own self promotion you can get a record taken for release easier than you can buy Branstons Pickle these days. Anyone who really, really struggles to harness a release of any kind, be it in minimal, funky, hard techno etc really should think about changing their methods somewhat

minimal is great, hard techno is great, funky techno is great, and if new people dont continue to branch out into other genres from what they are known/used too, then ultimately the genre's will slow down even more, and we'l just have the same old same old putting out records and no fresh creativity because people are scared of being labelled a bandwagon jumper , ironically usually by people who dont have a clue about what goes into producing and securing a record deal.

excellent stuff for a scene that's already pretty much dead on its arse!

Yeah, techno is the next disco. It was great while it lasted, then it's effect wore off and the shiny sounds lost their touch and you just realized you were listening to cool sounds repeating over and over and over and over. Then all of us who actually like it are left making clicks and beeps and pads that don't repeat over and over and over... MINIMAL! WOOHOO! OUR SAVIOR!!!

**MARKEG** · 12-08-2006, 02:30 AM

i love minimal! and you know what, it's the biggest thing to kick techno up the ass since ... well.. since a long time!!!

i remember when the whole acid house thing came to a close and i was forced to shift to all the bleep etc stuff in 89. i wasnt happy but got myself into a new sound and then boooooooom along came 'substance abuse' and a shit load of underground resistance acid hehehe... that would never have happened were it not for the shift.

i think change and going forward can only be a good thing. it's killing me that there's less good harder techno records about but it's only serves to make me want to get in that studio, push myself and make something fresh!!!
