More history on Minimal Techno Music

Just as electroclash transformed the way dance music thinks and looks; minimal techno completely transformed the way it sounds.

For those of you who are not that familiar with the Minimal Techno genre, we gathered some facts and history:

Minimal techno is a minimalist subgenre of techno music. It is characterized by a stripped-down aesthetics that exploits the use of repetition and understated development. Minimal techno is thought to have been originally developed in the early 1990s by Detroit-based producers Robert Hood and Daniel Bell”l. At least that is what Wikipedia says.

In fact the development of the style is often attributed to a so-called “second wave” of American music and techno producers. Most of them are associated with the Detroit techno scene in the early 90s. While the first-wave artists were enjoying their early global success, techno also inspired many up-and-coming DJs and bedroom producers in Detroit.

This younger generation included producers such as Richie Hawtin, Daniel Bell, Robert Hood, Jeff Mills, Carl Craig, Kenny Larkin, and Mike Banks. The work of several of these artists evolved to become focused on minimalism.

Most of the books related to the birth of minimal techno states that this genre uses two specific stylistic approaches: skeletalism and massification.

Today the influence of minimal styles of house music and techno is not only to be found in the general club music, but is becoming increasingly heard in popular music.

Here is the interview with Ivaylo Gochev:
