pity he's not really made anything good ever since . . .
Possibly, but where have the basslines gone? I don't like downtempo tedious funk-sampling plodstep.

I can't imagine dancing a whole night listening to minimal techno... it's good upbeat after-hours music but never seems to have enough of a kick to make me move.
I've heard a lot of minimal which isn't that much different to downtempo psytrance – it has the same spacey feeling, same tempo, just with better sleeve designs.
I'd say almost everything I seem to hear these days is pretty minimal or has an element of it.
At the right time it can be great (like Magda at Fabric!!), however, it does my nut in hearing it all night long. Then going to an after hours club for more of the same.
Killer B......I don't think you're misguided.

Geek Ghastly
His remix of Alter Ego's 'Rocker' under this guise is a rather good crowd mover too
Saw him play out a few months ago at Herbal and he played a brilliant (and I'm guessing by him) remix of 'Ghost Town' ...! Can't wait to get my hands on that one!
killer b said:hell yeah, i know - but he's not what people are describing when they say 'minimal' is he?
being out in the sticks as i am, i've yet to hear this newfangled minimal stuff. can't say i'm seeking it out too hard...
I wouldn't worry, your not missing much, most of it sounds like paint drying.

I did have a look around the internet to find out what this 'minimal' stuff is all about - I'm always interested in new variations on techno.killer b said:being out in the sticks as i am, i've yet to hear this newfangled minimal stuff. can't say i'm seeking it out too hard...
Is it that stuff on Kompakt that is just a kick drum and a few cliks and whirrs? Do people listen to that all night
? Or is there more to it than that?That Carl Craig mix of Falling Up is pretty minimal and that's fucking amazing. Or is that more like 'proper' minimal techno?
I'm confused

Makes me weak at the knees
Only house tune that I will admit to loving
Same said India singing on "Love & Happiness" by, I think River Ocean (probably a pseudenym for MAW!) - much sampled by DnB producers. Killer.
MAW have at least a couple sure fire killers - not least JOcelyn BRown's vocalled (its alright) I feel it. ROni SIze remix aint too bad

Scratch Perverts - Stand By [Krafty Kuts remix] might be up your street, but I only mention it cos it's a decentish krafty kuts effort there's far better breaks tunes out there.... see below!

here's a few that do it for me
"I wish - Skee lo (aquaski mix)" - Obviously the original is the best, but this one will get people going mental on the dancefloor.
"King of Rock - Run DMC (le rouge elephant mix)" another massive tune for me...
"Space invaders are smoking grass - IF" all time favourite electro tune
"Beat Dis - bomb the bass" always raises a smile

Yeah, I used to know what minimal was - I've spent quite a few nights getting down to Rob Hood.Skim said:
It's this new 'minimal' stuff that confuses me. People always point to Kompakt, but they put out quite a range of stuff. There's that boring plodding shit that does nothing, but there's also stuff like Rex the Dog (which I would call electro-house), Justus Kohncke (weird funky stuff) and Aril Brikha (who has put detroit-style techno out on Derrick May's Transmat label). Is this all counted as 'minimal' or is it specifically the paint drying stuff?
Sorry if I'm being dense. And sorry for the derail

i suspect quite a few artists who've been making music for ages (hawtin, brikha and the like) will be lumped in with the modern minimal stuff 'cause it mixes easily with it... boundaries, as ever, are easy to shift.
dunno why i've not been much interested in finding out what it's like... skim's experience doesn't much encourage me though.

Anyway - back to the topic of the thread...
Boring answer: there are no sure-fire floor fillers; it all depends on where you're playing, who you're playing to and when you play it. Tracks that'll slay one dancefloor will clear another.
Less boring answer:
Zero B - Lock Up
Musique - Keep on Jumpin'
!!! - Me and Giuliani Down By the Schoolyard
and just for Killer B: The Source feat Candy Staton - You got the love
Orang Utan
Maybe I like the misery
