how did you start listening to minimal music?

i'm not sure exactly. i was pretty into progressive house and tech house for a while, but there were always tracks outside that realm that i really liked, but never actively pursued. i think back right at the beginning when i was still transitioning from listening to prog trance to prog house, i heard the villalobos remix of heiko laux - moved and thought it was awesome. when i first started buying records i'd pick up stuff like hawtin & bug - low blow and the sommerpause ep on perlon along with regular prog stuff.

things changed when i first found rhythm & sound, i guess. i got really into the basic-channel dub sound, and from there started branching more into minimal stuff.

it's funny, because i remember distinctly thinking "i will never ever enjoy minimal stuff like this, it's completely devoid of artistic merit" when i first started listening to edm. it's interesting how your tastes change in ways you can never anticipate.

i blame the a side

but my musical taste has always been minimal as far as i can remember. we just didnt call it that way then

and minimalism in my life has to do with other stuff besides music

twerk, sutekh...
force inc, context, basic channel, chain reaction

but minimal has always been just one of the things i'm into
i listen to so many other things...

tobi neuman's set at karotte's birthday at the u60311 @frankfurt....he played some nice smashing electro house records with a minimal twist
this evening made me interested in the more minimal stuff from house and techno....

How did I start listening to minimal?

I don't know... It suddenly was there. lol

Started listening to electronic music a cuple of years ago with listening to TRANCE! (DON'T lough! *g*)
Later on artists like Cari Lekebusch, Adam Beyer and Thomas Krome were my favourites.
After finishing this "bad phase" i changed to House and bit by bit more minimalistic sounds became interesting to me.
