the guys on that comp coined the term to describe their style - which is how the comp got its name - and it caught on among sympathetic producers
I don't think I've ever noticed the genre names on discogs before!

genre names are designed to make you think bad records are good and good records are bad, its trickery and obfuscation

i thought i was going to hate the luciano mix because lol tribal bongo minimal but it's actually pretty rad! has kind of a classic boompty beat and just the right amount of electro lock and pop and is hypnotically minimal (in terms of structure) as opposed to annoyingly minimal (no awful mid 2000s computer sound palette)

re: the Moodymann remix of No Ufos mentioned upthread, I think the new vocals are a bummer. They sounded fine in the sample but I was let down when I got the thing in the mail. This is okay with me b/c I didn't have the original, though, and that Luciano version is surprisingly tasty.
― davey, Wednesday, 14 February 2018 00:24 (six years ago) link

― the late great, Wednesday, 14 February 2018 00:45 (six years ago) link
yes they are groaningly corny ... but so are most detroit techno vocals? and so are the o.g. version vocals. so they have been growing on me.

Yeah, so the 15 years of the Bunker comp is pretty consistently great.

― MikoMcha, Tuesday, 27 February 2018 14:59 (six years ago) link
Bunker comp feels very much like a 90's techno thing to me, like microhouse or minimal never happened. Even the cover as a Tresor-style homage...
― MikoMcha, Thursday, 1 March 2018 11:03 (six years ago) link
Hi bobbinsers - been lurking on this thread for the last few months, having made my first proper effort to get into techno at the end of last year (more from a DnB/UKG/dubstep background dance music wise).
Was checking out the bunker comp on iTunes and pressed the purchase button by mistake! Not regretting it though; although I generally find melodic and minimal stuff to be more accessible at this point there are some great tunes here. I guess my ideal would be a midpoint between this very deep and detailed textural stuff and the broader melodic flourishes of Kompakt.
