Anyone got any good recommendations for Richie Hawtin type
stuff? Preferably danceable, bare bones stuff- drum
machines, subtle changes, the odd synth part, but v. few/no
vocal samples?

Cheers.

you cant go wrong with any of the releases.

Just fyi though... Gobi. from the "Desert EP" is 1 track...
45 mins, and not dancy... all ambient (but fucking
beautiful)

any other track and you should be set.

have you heard The Long Walk Home? It's the soundtrack Peter
Gabriel did for the movie The Rabbit Proof Fence... along
the lines of Passion, but has a more australian vibe to it,
which makes sense as the movie is an australian story...
real nice album, but nowhere near as good as Passion...

basic channel, yes..

as for hawtin, start at the beginning of his plastikman
series (sheet one) and work your way through.

hawtin's 'de9:closer to the edit' cd is a great tight
minimal mix.

his f.u.s.e. lp on warp as part of the artificial
intelligence series has a far older feel to it and is less
minimal and groovy.

ricardo villalobos has done a nice minimal techno/click
house lp called 'alcachofa' on playhouse records.

err.. more when i get a minute.

Dykhouse- Dynamic Obsolescene

Maybe not MINIMAL, but really simple and straightforward.
I'd dance to it if I was some kind of fruit. I second the
Monolake reco, too. And Deadbeat- Something Borrowed
Something Blue.

millenium dome bollocks shit too, but the rest of them i
dont like so much.

I got very into Stewart Walker lately - His Live Extracts
album is good (Red Sun Over Tobin Bridge was my favorite
track of the moment a few weeks ago) - and the Hurricane
Weather EP, mainly for Dim and Turbulent Mornings.

I love Robert Hood too, but I've found his best tracks quite
hard to track down.

Stewart Walker's production sounds amazing to me! It's very
clean, but in a very different way to what you'd get on a
computer - I think he does everything on an Akai MPC - So
the timing is rock solid - It makes everything sound
punchier.

Some of Russ Gabriels' stuff is very good, although less
drum machiney and more ambient - The Voltage Control LP is
almost like a SAW pt.III.

Cristian Vogel is pretty sweet... as far as hard-edged
techno goes you might want to try his album "Dungeon Master"
on tresor... but really, just check shit on Tresor,
Playhouse, Perlon, Force inc., and Kompakt not all of it
will be minimal, but most of it will be good...

yes porter ricks (good stuff on chain reaction), also techno
animal (aka bug, aka kevin martin) vs porter ricks -
symbiotics.
and porter ricks - porter ricks (mille plateaux) is also
ace.

i also recommend you maurizio (on label called "M", which is
a sublabel of basic channel)

richie hawtin's concept series is extremely AWESOME.

also there once was a nice little record by "the modernist"
called "opportunity knox".
check it out.

Oh yeah - Although not really in the techno scene - RJ
Valeo's recent album on Type Records is superb!

Almost everything I've heard on that label is brilliant -
They're very new - Sort of IDM/glitch tinged - Minimal
techno/soundtrack/ambient.

RJ Valeo Filter is a good track to download/check out - I'm
suprised the IDM scene hasn't gone crazy over Type Records -
They seem a little detched from it all.

nearly bought hawtin's 'concept' on cd the other day.. heard
it ages ago & liked it - but a £15 price tag in the store
put me off.. money is tight @ the moment.

they're pretty young & birmingham based arent they?
the guys who started type run the default electronica nights
in mosely.
good homegrown stuff.
the label's really young isnt it?
i seem to remember reading their music policy online - it
was very non-dancefloor oriented. they wanted
ambient/cinematic stuff.

I'm holding a vinyl in my hands which reads "2 Dollar Egg -
Towa@.com"

This sounds like Richie Hawtin but even better. "Mellow
Tunis" is my all time favourite minimal techno track. It
starts with the ticking clock which becomes part of the
track when the baseline starts... amazing!

i have this vinyl ripped
