Confession: Before I found the “minimal techno” tag on soundcloud I had no idea it existed. But I'm glad I stumbled upon it, because I have been listening to everything in genre for two days straight and I am seriously digging this groove. Techno, slowed down and pared down, is to me what techno was originally supposed to be before it became all frantic and pounding. So far the best example of this genre is Matt Minimal, an amazing producer out of France who knows just how to craft the beat so its both soothing and energetic, forceful yet subtle, and something that will keep you moving til the end — and pressing repeat.
