Destroy Minimal

the last few times i've been to DC10 have not been minimal in the slightest - they've been really chunky techno and tech-housey.

the whole minimal bandwagon thing is such a non-event.

That tune is White Stripes - Seven Nation Army (maybe some new remix) and it has been the "Ibiza tune" for the last 5 years. Every summer it will be played a lot...

Back to the topic, I find most of the minimal stuff quite boring. Ame - Rej is fantastic but I don't put it into "minimal" category...
 
I hate the word 'minimal' it's almost as bad as 'funky house'.

This isn't a new music fad...it's been around for years! 8O I've got stacks of techno mixes from the likes of Josh Wink etc in old fashioned tape format (remember those? :lol:) with plinky plonky bleepy build ups and samples that go on forever. :lol:

Personally I love it!...but admit there is a time and a place. Ministry box isn't one of them for example.
DC-10 is the perfect setting but then, so is the music! (just like anything, there's good and bad)

Love it, understand why people don't like it...but pleeeease can we bin the name?

I like to hear a complete mixture of music when I go out. Miminal for me is good for afterparties.

I agree, I dont think mimimal is the sound you want at the peak time on a night out, 3 to 5 for example.
Its perfect for when your brain cant function properly and all it can process are very simplistic sounds ;)

Completely agree. Richie Hawtin has been doing bleeps and pips for YEARS.

Everyone has their own tastes but I can't undertand why people can't get their heads around "minimal" (or stripped down electronic dance music - whatever) isn't full on main room music?

I've done some of my hardest RAVING to more stripped down music - it doesn't always have to be really BOOM BOOM BOOM obvious to make you dance.

but each to their own.
