it's "beatport techno"... a new genre engineered by beatport. it basically sounds like tech-house, but mixed with late 90's trance and a bit of early 90's techno. it always contains copious amounts of sidechained white noise, and there are indeed 500,000 releases per week... most of these releases are beatport exclusives. :P

well I don't know, I don't check beatport, I buy records, but if indeed there is 1000000000000 releases like that every week, I guess I will have to start checking


Minimal? Minimal?! You guys should lay off the ketamine (or actually isn't that the "minimal" drug??) and stop with the "all new music that come out suck, everything is minimanimal!!!, I want to go back to the 90's because I am too old and I didn't do anything with my life, bla bla bla"

Minimal is definitely the most overused genre name, EVER.
Minimal is a fuckin adjective, "something that is minimalistic", and that also apply to music that was around way before electronic music.

Can't you guys think for yourself? Can't you express your opinion without labeling something as "minimal", just because it's cool to hate it?


thanks longplayer for being the only one contributing something useful, unfortunately the link doesn't work for me.. what was it?

I like minimal, techno, and all inbetween. I definitely am not cool. Not all new music sucks - I like quite a bit of it.

With that being said, the posted track certainly is nowhere near good enough to start a thread about.

sorry mate

Ditto. doors You can't post something & then expect everyone to like it because you do. Opinions = Arseholes, an all that ;)

doors wrote:

Sorry I didn't want to come across like that, I respect the opinions of everyone, but I guess what sat me off was the anti-minimal sentiment in this thread, and to an extent on the whole board.

I probably wouldn't even responded if the word "minimal" wouldn't have been mentioned.

For me, minimal music is music of a minimalistic nature.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxO8Q8XHlUk (I guess it was called ambient then..)

and that I understand that it's not everybody's cup of tea, and myself I rarely listen to any of it.

But the original link I posted? "Minimal" is not a word that crossed my mind for even a fraction of a second.
Techno. There is no other word for it. Some of you might not like it, and I respect that, but I thought some of you would, which is why I posted the thread.



skeptical say it perfectly why I like it:


I like tech-house , I like 90's trance, and I love 90's techno.. So the best of all three in one? Why not?


But hey, if you guys don't like it, it's totally fine. Instead, post stuff that you consider good new techno. Others might like it.

I'm pretty sure if you keep this thread going for a while, you'll all eventually agree on what is minimal techno and which are good tracks.

The track you posted reminded me of hearing something John Digweed would play in a "progressive house" set 8 years ago to a redbull & vodka crowd in LA. The form of music is terrible back then and it's still terrible today no matter what name they're calling it.

Techno used to be about inventing new sounds, new rhythms. there was absolutely nothing inventive in the track you posted.

The bassline that comes in at about the 3 minute mark is really wicked.

The first time i listened to the track The Streams i really liked the intro but thought that when the rhythm and bass line were brought in it didn`t fit well with the pretty Ambient beginning. But after a couple of listens i now really like the track. Good stuff.

I checked SKPRecordings discography and only see files listed in the database. Do you put out physical media vinyl/cd?

I liked it. I'd play it. But it's more closer to a progressive MNML track, then techno. Look, I like to just call these these things techno myself, but a technohead ain't gonna have it like that.

wtf? progressive minimal? I understand the need for categorizing music, but isn't this going a bit too far? Ah well I don't want to argue about it anymore, but it seem that for new tracks to be considered "techno", it has to be a fast pounding banging full-on audio assault.

Not that I don't like Audio Assault, it's good music, I like this track:

dude you really got me thinking there, I pondered for hours (ok actually the time it took me to roll a joint), is "progressive minimal" actually genuine as a musical style?
