Been thinking about this for a while, and it just struck me that you all are probably the best people to ask.
I love almost everything about minimal. I love the shuffle, I love the sounds, I love the cleanliness of production and the way the parts interact. I love the weirdness of it. What I'm getting tired of, through, is the 4 on the floor with the off-beat hihat. Sure, at 1am after a few drinks I'll still dance my ass off to it, but as a listener sometimes I wish producers would occasionally eschew the 4 on the floor and mix it up a little. I've heard hardly anything like this, and I'm hoping some of you have and can recommend some artists / tracks to me.
What I'm looking for is all the delicious aspects of danceable minimal with a broken beat. I'm not looking for IDM. I'm looking for tracks I can spin, so stuff thats tied up in a fully mixed "concept LP" (like some of Lorin of Bassnectar fame) isn't especially helpful unless theres an unmixed counterpart. I don't think I'm looking for dubstep, either, but if there's examples in any genre, please do let me know.
A decent example of what I'm talking about is "Ghost Floppy" by Michal Ho, or "Exit the Laugh" by Kilowatts.
Thanks in advance. I hope this stimulates some conversation.
Minimal - 4 on the Floor = ???

luka & lazo: dust no.4 - mo's ferry 027
the 3 original tracks match your description
louderbach: enemy love - underline
some broken beat tracks, and a brilliant LP anyway
pilooski: digital catastrophee - omerta
a little bit on a (french) electro tip, but good rockin tracks which fit in mnml sets
lusine icl: chao ep - mental.ind.records
this might be called idm, but it could still be interesting. a very good ep anyway, if you like it, check more by lusine on ghostly etc. his stuff fits very good with mnmnl, soundwise.

Awesome, thanks!
Dust No. 4 and Screenings are great! Rare Error was a little floaty for my taste.
I had completely forgotten about Louderbach until now, and you're right, the whole EP is fantastic. I'm definitely getting it as a listening album. The broken beat tracks are a little subdued / dark for what I usually spin, though.
I wasn't able to find the specific Pilooski you mentioned. I'll look more when I get home.
Lusine I love, and had forgotten I have a few tracks that keep away from strict 4 on the floor. I will revisit them.
Again, thanks!
