Techno/house bobbins, 2009

techno/house bobbins, 2010

not catchy

I've been scouring this thread for a good pipecock quote to use, but so far, nothing.

techno/house bobbins, 2010 (not techno/house bobbins, 2010)

One would think that you listen to next to no TECHNO / HOUSE BOBBINS 2010 if you like this

you've got my vote

ha!

Missives from the techno/house massive (2010)

are we on dissensus?

So is there one of these for 2010 yet?

Let's call it: "minimal house bobbins 2010"

That said, seeing stuff like this confounds me, i.e. why are people still talking about "the death of minimal", no less as a predicition for the future? If the entire time it's been an empty term (or in fancy words, a floating signifier) that served to unify a broadly dispersed range of music, and later, as an even more empty term that served no purpose beyond something to vocally disown in order to show how past it you are, the inability of many to just let it go (to mourn minimal as it were) has gotten ridiculous. Doesn't disowning/disavowing "minimal" at this point just say more about one's prolonged reliance on the term than about it actually being over, could these gestures be any more meaningless?

But I digress, and we are a week into 2010 anyways.

Dave Clarke expects to see the death of all music he doesn't like, to be replaced by stuff he does. Next-level futurology there.

Dave Clarke: “It’s tough to predict 10 years in advance but thankfully minimal is now dead in cultured areas such as Europe.”

what a berk

edb otm...says it all about how much has actually happened in house/techno in the last what...3 years?

Yeah, To reiterate what I said before, the prolonged pronouncement of the death of minimal is just a way of keeping it alive for no reason than to rag on it and show off how relevant you supposedly are. From what I can tell people haven't really been playing banging dave-clarke style techno for some time anyhow, ragging on minimal now seems to just reek of a sort of desperation, (and it's not just dave clarke, too, even intelligent critics like the mnml ssgs guys have gotten good mileage out of proclamations of having "never (been) mnml" although they haven't really been doing that for a good while, actually).

It's interesting when you consider how lots of the critically lauded stuff of 09 - Levon Vincent, Marcell Dettman, Norman Nodge, etc. is very close to Robert Hood style Minimal techno, and at the same time is seen as a sort of antithesis to minimal. I'm curious how it would have been treated 3-4 years ago? Today, though, if a Mobilee circa 2006 record came out, I doubt anyone would make anything of it as "minimal".

My view is that techno hasn't really done all that much different since Acid Tracks and Voodoo Ray, people have just been calling it different things and getting really worked up about semantics.

"What is house", indeed.

vahid's suggestion is obv superior, if you don't agree you must not listen to much TECHNO/HOUSE BOBBINS 2010

can we call it DAVE CLARKE 2010?

JOSH WINK 2010

You used to be able put a minimal record on a record player. Today dave clarke opens his mouth and a torrent of shit literally pours out, drowning a pensioner leaving a hospice

Wow, can we call the new thread that!

obv nobody banging down the door to start a new thread...

well, with minimal dead, whats the point, really

The 2008 thread has been pretty boring (though without checking I'm pretty sure there are a couple of flamewars re the battle for the soul of house/techno upthread), and I think it's because of the vibeless broadness of its remit. "House/Techno" is not something that you can really get behind as a movement unless you have a wilfully perverse definition of what counts as "real".

I suspect that threads that are actually about a particular trend rather than just a kind-of sub-twitter about good new tracks would be much more successful and interesting.

Worth comparing with the original version of this thread back in 2004: 2004's Electro-House Classics

you could use that attitude to justify anything max...what's the point of getting up in the morning....or what's the point of breathing????

lol

I think we should have a YouTube Embends Only rule for the 2010 thread.

max stopped breathing before it was cool

Dude, first Kurt was taken from us, then Minimal, it's like, I don't even know anymore man...

RT @Josephhallam84 So, someones deleted Random Circuits so it no longer exists, how pathetic! All our work, mixes, gone forever!

so so sad, man..

still no new thread?
