It should be put on mnml.nl's front pageaut.t.n wrote:soul instead of sound, jack instead of click.
the recent minimal wave brought more and more people to listenning and enjoying techno.
When you look back at the electronic releases of the past 5 years you can figure how much the ratio mnml/electronic in general have increased.
Mnml is the new dance.
We need to be careful not to fall in the ease of most productions : the minimal sound is everywhere; now we need to seperate the good one from the ugly one.
Even Carl Cox is playing minimal for the masses.
We'll see this year some "storms" (like Drexciyan storms if you see what i mean): producers putting out some records that will shake the entire production, studying new sounds, understanding the essence of techno and so on.
I'm quite optimistic about this year, we'll have few really good records, like in 2007 but those ones are going to be insane, like a new start, a step forward; a kicker for the music.
I'm especially thinking about dimibiman's album (next september) or Ark's one, those two guys have a really special sound, a unique approach of house music. Moreover, Dan Bell is back in business...
STL is still doing good (something no.4 is really good), with a very referenced music as if he were showing us what's the point of house and techno.
Also Minibar is going to release some more stuff, again with a very personnal idea of what music is about...
