I've been carefully assembling this Sorry I'm Minimal post for quite some time, investing plenty of time looking for purely new minimal stuff on my many daily downloading sessions. It's not that easy though, with most tunes labeled minimal actually are something more like tech house or just slightly barer techno, for which we have separate features for. The strategy I came up with was looking at the Label it's released on, which still has its limitations. Personally, I endeavour to find only the most hypnotic, trippy minimal techno possible, (the true essence of MNML) for which I try to select for this feature, but in the continuously evolving world of electronic music, the boundaries are always blurring.

Getting possibly the most controversial track out of the way first, Italoboyz' 9/96 is one of the most intense tunes doing the circuits of late. I've heard Ricardo spin it twice, so it's minimal enough for me.

Italoboyz - 9/96


Santos (Italy) - Primitive Cannible


Heartthrob - Setting Up


Luke Kosmas - Pornoise


And finally, this is just thought of stuff I wanted. Fragile, heady, trippy stuff that reminds me of Craig Richards' sets and nights not knowing where I am really....

Rocco Caine - Ejekt
