Case in point.
Someone asked me about Plastikman the other day, like it was the newest shit. I was more than glad to provide info and recommendations to satisfy his curiosity. I love doing that kind of shit, hence this blog.
But, back to minimal techno.
Below are two mixes that I've been giving heavy rotation, courtesy of the quality folks at Lowerdepths and The Electric Company. Not only do those guys know good drum and bass (ahem Digital + Spirit), but they also know good techno. I have them to thank for some great listening, and to my boy Phatdak for turning me on to Basic Channel. Minimal techno epitomizes the brilliant use of space.
Enjoy.

Moving off the beaten path, Calculon gets into some downtempo detour action with Photek's Yendi & Scottie's Honey (which is some classic Metalheadz box set tunage).
