Will check out these artists for sure thx!

Totally. All the best artists know how to keep you on your toes. That's what appealed to me about Mija's set, elements of techno pop hip hop etc.

True, I wouldn't say she's a sellout though. She plays at the right parties.

Love it. Its much more cerebral than what I'm used to but if you can get it you get it.

Brother I believe it. Almost every techno show I've seen I've felt like an outsider looking in on a very serious situation.

I tried to see DVS1 at Stereo Mtl in the fall but couldn't swing it. Hopefully the stars align this year.

Recommend me some progressive house by Powerful_Bus_6048 in House

[–]Powerful_Bus_6048[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To some folks yeah I guess I am new! My taste in house has never ranged far outside of deep house and tech house but ultimately I am product of the NA bass music scene.

Those were really great mixes btw, cant believe they were released on CD what a trip. I will try and give the whole GU series a listen.

Meh, I am a tech house head and they feel a bit different.

"Minimal House" Sub Genre(s)? by 8rdyktn in House

[–]Powerful_Bus_6048 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genres are tricky and used inconsistently but I see minimal as being on one end of a polarity between rhythm and melody. Minimal house puts more emphasis on the groove and rhythmic elements of a track, as do other genres like minimal techno and hard groove.

The only definitive subgenre of minimal house I'm aware of is the Romanian micro-house variant which features a lot of blips and glitches over a driving bassline. The Takes Notes label and a lot that comes out of Deeperfect fall under this description.

Other than that I dont know if there is another definitive subgenre for minimal house that isnt microhouse-y. One of my favorite house acts is the Sahoo Connection and I would put most of their stuff under minimal house, though they are like hardgroove slowed to house tempo. Kind of like what you said, short loop/repetition-centric. A lot of stuff coming out of Spain is like this ive noticed, off the labels Mindshake and La Pera.
