Picked up the new Mika Vainio release this week called Ikuinen.... Absolute stormer. Really getting into modern love and sahko recently, lovely switchup from dubstep. Don't have many Vainio releases to compare it with, but I'm sure most of you will be able to appreciate this is a pretty special release

alot of great producers have been listed here already, enuff said, im a big minimal techno listener so i dont want to cross the boundaries while listing tons of good producers

i am really into the stuff that's coming out on SD Records, Soloaction and Delsin. not what would typically be called minimal...just interesting and dubby/detroity. which is fine by me.

I don't know too much about minimal techno but I like what I hear. Check out Neil Landstrumm, Phil Kieran, Reinhard Voigt, Thomas Fehlmann, Vladislav Delay, and Stephan Bodzin. A lot of these artists go way beyond the boundaries of just mintech though...

Basic Channel and Kompakt are great.

Don't like what it is usually associated with these days, a tag for dull as dishwater and soulless nonsense taking all the fun out of techno as a genre.

Still, what people like Mike Ink and Robert Hood made back in the 90s stands out strongly in how to achieve max impact out of a minimum of elements in techno-wise. Particularly Hood's track "The Grey Area", which can be heard in this set from Sven Väth, is one of my alltime favs.

love a bit of minimal !! !!!!!!
its not a new "blogsphere craze" though at all, its been around for ages

boomnoise · Post by **boomnoise** » Sun Jun 24, 2007 10:40 pm

minimal doesn't really mean minimal these days though does it.

i love a lot of it but it's certainly not soulless and lacking innovation.

some mad sounds going on.

working on a mix atm which i will up if i'm happy with it.

frankly speaking I have recently (like 3 or 4 months ago) discovered the world of techno music.

shame on me

And you know I fell in love into Dub Techno and a bit of minima.

I love the recent Modern Love releases especially by Deep Chord

Their album is gonna be large. Claro Intelecto is doing some proper minimal as well.

Andy Stott's - unknown exception is definitely big tune.

Monolake is making good music as well as Funxion.

And of course much loves goes straight out to Basic Channel and the whole Hardwax.com krew. They have some exceptional beats out there.

There so many good producers in this scene. And it's definitely worth checking since there is a wicked intersection between techno and dubstep atm. And all these sounds are cutting edge for me personally.

i've been gettin into minimal and tech thanks to mr Dj Dowee

check http://www.myspace.com/djdowee a dubstep dj who also mixes minimal and Tech as "Leech" with a couple of guys...

deffo worth checking out

Monolake is deep. Cern, Linear, Atomium, Invisible, the Plumbicon remixes by Deadbeat / Rebreather, Osaka live versions ... in fact most of his stuff is worth getting your ears into.

* Surprised no one's mentioned the Roly Vex'd remix of Surgeon's "bad hands", it's a great 134 bpm techno track, massive dubby bass with little 2-steppy side-rhythms. Released a month or 2 ago.

** Come to think of it, there's a sick Monolake remix on that release as well.

oh, and a new Atki 2 remix of Starkey... went down a treat at Corsica studios some weeks ago

One day I was browsing at Etheria on Avenue A when I decided to pick up a copy of Dominik Eulberg’s ‘Kreucht & Fleucht’ and I never looked back…

This is taken from Pitchfork’s feature on Top 50 Albums of 2005

Dominik Eulberg
Kreucht & Fleucht
[Mischwald]

"Virtually any serviceable DJ mix is able to make tracks from disparate sources sound as though they belong together. But only the very best mixes can make their various tracks sound as if they were composed together, a feat Dominik Eulberg achieves on his brilliant double-disc mix Kreucht & Fleucht. Over the course of this set's two complementary halves, Eulberg provides a dazzling cross-sectional of inspired post-minimalist techno, joining crucial tracks from usual suspects like Michael Mayer, John Tejada, and Ricardo Villalobos (as Termiten) so seamlessly that each seems to be germinated from a single root system. On Kreucht he stays close to the ground, creeping through the shadowy digital underbrush of Dub Kult and Losoul, while Fleucht quickly soars via Steve Barnes' lithesome "Cosmic Sandwich" for the satellite's-eye perspective of these same fertile regions, territories worth frequent exploration whether by land or air. --Matthew Murphy”

Used to love techno then found it got a bit boring when everyone just started playing 2 hour sets of glitchedy bollocks that sounded like a dalek with terets but still have alot of love for detoit and the inspiration it gave loads of producers:

Claro Intelecto, Fabrice Lig, Arne Weinberg etc

http://www.boomkat.com/item.cfm?id=11581

This has to be one of the most tripped out tracks i ever played out on a big rig but still sounded so haunting yet deep stella stuff.

For anyone in the London/Shoreditch area....

Get down to Bogged Out on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month, 11am-5pm.

The club is an old public toilet which has been converted into a club!

Nice selection of minimal techno. Good crowd, wicked atmosphere! Hit me up for concessions if your interested in checking it out!

A lot of minimal techno heads are also interested in the dubstep scene aswell....I played some the other week at the end of Bogged Out and it went down really well!

Theres gonna be an 'anything goes' down at the toilet soon aswell, dubstep, dnb, minimal, tehcno....il post up more info in the near future!

Public life has to be the strangest yet most interesting club i have been to in london just for randomness but had some great times there when matt chester used to put on his night.
