    This one is good and makes sense! It also explains why minimal sometimes feels 'empty' for me. Will give some of this stuff another try with this in mind

    @Feather, those sets are actually pretty solid! They have more flow compared to his live stuff in which he sometimes bangs around.

      Luciano is another minimal guy I find a total snoozefest in the past.

      I agree, Hawtin has been very hit and miss when I caught him live; I've only experienced one good set from him in person

      I got pics and video. But I will upload them in the morning. I need to smoke this nice phat joint and just close my eyes and replay the amazingness in my head.

        Times change and artists adapt to that but the truly good ones have this little trick to keep their trade mark sound unchanged while they actually change the prefered styles they play lol Digweed is an example of that - from garage house to more uplfiting house and trance , to more funky sounds and then electro, minimal and techno but the key word is still progressive ie melodic but dark and twisted sound. Richie Hawtin plays now some modern version of this old rave sounding percussion driven techno from back in da days.. Luciano is actually tech house now.. As for minimal - I personally never liked it that much but if you dig deeper you can always find some really great tracks =)

          nice one's Feather and Achtung ... Techno definitely has its place in the underground. Like Patrice Baumel said, "Berlin never sold out." For me there is only so much I can take. I would rather a dj from a different style drop some juicy techno in than listen to it for an entire set unless someone can really work it.

                            The debate reminds me of conversation I had with my mate similar to this, Melodic and Techno etc ... what I would also like to hear is some elements of fun and dark. Take GU 17 - 20, elements of dark, fun, amazing, tech and fun. I was thinking of 20 disc 1 because I wanted something I thought was both excellent and fun and threw it on today.

                                If we want to have community, level of trust is important. One of measurments is if people have courage to say what they think or how they judge others. If people do not have courage to do it, it would not be a nice community.
