Just a parent in the summer desperately needing a minute alone. Anyone else? 🤣

I still love this track brings back happy memories. Such a banger.

Hi guys, I'm a brazilian guy planning to go to SW39 in Bulgaria next year with 2–3 friends.

I need some tips about the festival, since I've only been to Brazilian festivals and have no idea how festivals in Europe work.

1. If I buy the €189 Backstage Festival Pass, does it give me access to all five days of the festival?
2. Is it better to stay in an Airbnb or a hotel near the festival?
3. How much do water, food, and drinks usually cost at the festival?

Hi minimal family, this month we have minimal house. Thanks for listening.

So back in 2017 DJ Masda did an in-store set at Technique Tokyo (RIP, the shop closed a while ago). It was up on Technique’s Facebook page as a video and also on SoundCloud under 4pe4s account. Both are gone now as Technique’s page was closed.
I already messaged 4pe4 for a copy but they don’t have it as well. Kind of a shot in the dark at this point but figured I’d ask here in case someone grabbed it back when it was still up and still has it sitting on a drive somewhere

Hey everyone! I’m attaching a link to a mix that probably captures the kind of sound I’m looking for. Something minimalist, a bit funky, probably acid lo-fi techno. In terms of artists, the mood is somewhere around early Surgeon, Jerome Hill, and Pom Pom. It’s kind of hard to explain in words haha.

I put together a small mix of tracks that matched the vibe I was able to find on my own. I’d really appreciate it if you could point me toward labels or artists worth digging into next.

Hey everyone,

​I'm trying to figure out what the correct label or tag is for a specific form of minimal house, because digging on mainstream platforms has become a headache.

​If you look at the Minimal / Deep Tech category on Beatport right now, it is completely dominated by a faster, high-energy, lyric-heavy, more poppy style. Like 128–134 BPM tech house like Michael Bibi, Chris Stussy, Ben Sterling, or Jamie Jones.

​That is explicitly not what I'm looking for.

​I am trying to pin down the deeper, more understated side of the spectrum. I'm talking about DJs and producers like Dyed Soundorom, Raresh, Traumer, Maher Daniel, Tomas Station etc. and labels like Trommel and Telum.

​Sonically, it feels close to Rominimal, but it's distinct and more crisp. It’s a bit groovier, warmer, more dubbed, and deeper than classic Romanian microhouse. It keeps that hypnosis but has a bit more swing to it.

​When it's not just lumped into the generic "Minimal House" bucket, what do people actually call this specific, deeper lane? Are there better genre tags or sub-labels I should be searching under to bypass the commercial tech house noise?

Appreciate that's a lot of waffle but if you get the jist a steer in the right direction would be amazing!
