seriously though,

At WMC this year, one thing was made clear, minimal techno/tech house is the only thing in the world that matters right now. It dominated all the other genres on display. Dubstep, fidget house, and nu disco label showcases were a minority. But I got the sense minimal this year doesn't sound much different from last year, i wonder how much longer this will last. Where do we go next from here?

hopefully we'll get a techno-rollback!

To my ears "minimal" sounds the same since 2 and a half years.

I wanna freak out like crazee again, cos I'm sick of tippin' my toes for hours and hours.

I think the minimal approach is a new standard for electronic music. It's a formula that works, i just think different sounds and different patterns will become popular. i'm liking more house and detroit sounding techno but it's all really stripped down.

this really. I just wish there's gonna be more funk in minimal and less deep deep stuff that scares you. Oh and maybe the kickdrum won't be the most important element anymore...

mostly it's just "blop blop blop"
