Please navigate a newbie in the mnml techno scene

[mrpostman]

Hi,

I'm Per Larsson from Sweden. I've been close to Electronic Music since my early years, but have never listened much to Techno, and even less to Minimal Techno. I've been more interested in the Trance scene of the early-to-mid 1990's.

But through Chain Reaction and Basic Channel, I recently discovered and started listening to Minimal Techno. I'm accustomed to Kompakt and the re-started Harthouse labels, as well as Oliver Lieb's (old Trance legend) Maschine imprint. I know more artists and labels by name and hits, but I lack a proper overview of the scene and its highlights.

Now I know there are a lot of Minimal Techno outthere, but I don't know where to start, really. It'd be great if you could drop me some artists and some labels that are, either your favorites, or considered significant. Please bring along a brief description of what sort of Minimal Techno you associate with the artist or label.

Thanks a lot!

Hey Per,

Check the artist and labels section on the main forum index and all the info is there. Alternatively post something similar in the General section and I'd imagine you'll get a quicker response.

But while I'm here i may as well list a few of my fav labels

Perlon (Undisputed no.1)
Archipel
Cadenza
Sud Electronic
Shitkatapult
Quagmire
Statik Entertainment

Hi guys and thanks for listing your favorites. I'll try and check 'em all out. I've heard only good things about Perlon and Cadenza (Luciano's label right?), so I look forward to get to know them a little bit more.

i would say, chain reaction and basic channel are a brilliant start.
