yellow asteroids is a funny one. ravey siren style lead. detroity chord underpinnings. very up, almost trance-like bittersweet euphoria.
reminds me of this one orlando voorn track from 1997ish with this out of time loop and a breakbeat that drops in out of nowhere... taking these varied dancefloor motifs and smushing them together.
some lovely textures hidden away in the background of petter's "some polyphony".

thats a beautiful tune
on a more straight up 'minimal' tip is his Robotfood 12, which is absolutely phenomenal imo

best minimal I've heard lately (and the best Perlon in nearly a year) is Melchior Production's "Different Places" 12". total leftfield swerve for him, but it's fucking beautiful (side A) / terrifying (B). hope I get to hear this through a system...

Now thaaat is the shit. Not sure if the EQing etc. is being done live but super job either way.

i'm sure he's doing some additional EQ'ing, but the majority of it is the record
thanks. you chopped the last 17 mins out of the july awakenings set, i see
it is a very bad recording. zero bass. flat as hell. unlistenable!

yeah, it's a crappy recording. i wouldn't call it 'unlistenable', it's more like a preview. all the more reason to buy it when it comes out!
It's been bubbling all along ...
Coming in late to this one , but as far as 'reckoning it could blow up'
minimal techno (in it's various forms) has been bubbling along for quite a while now.
Mid '90's we caught Q-Hey in Tokyo and were tipped to their brand , since then
well chuffed to see Q Hey's name on gig poster in Brussells last year.
Minimal tech music is around alot of the world , most nights, regardless of what
'pundit class' wants to name it / tag it ...
Even if it's only a few people into it on that given night ,
but like electro' twill prolly be around for those 'there for the musik' a while to come .
Without 'blowing up'
Cheers

Holy Mother of Fuck. Anyone got a spare pair of pants?
It's from his July 1st 2006 set at the Netherlands festival, Awakenings. For me it's not the length of the track but the way that he uses the horns that is so interesting. It's a neat track, for sure.
Gabba Flamenco Crossover
High Sierra Skullfuck
Can someone tell me what all the fuss is about? I just don't see it at all. That is such a dull track - no energy or dynamics. I know it's a thin line between hypnotic & tedious (and not helped by a low quality mp3) but jeez...
I've listened to a few mixes from that 4four site that simon linked to, and I haven't heard anything yet to convince me that this is anything more than the 2nd coming of tech-house, but even less interesting (if such a thing was possibly).
What a curmudgeon I am turning into.

well it's the length of the track that makes the horns special... you're dancing for 5 minutes to the dubby thunks part and then the horns appears out of nowhere, very very high in the mix. if it was 5 minutes long with the horns interjecting every minute it wouldn't really work as well.
Yes, that's a good point. I can well imagine many different formal possibilities for the construction of an RV track where five, ten, or more minutes are required in order to set up a transition or textural change. Exactly as you say. What caught me slightly offguard the first time that I heard the track, I suppose, was the instrumentation and note selection. Not just the fact that there are horns and a clarinet, but the notes they play. Esp in light of the B Jaxx tune, the Balkan Beat Box record, and others who have made reference to central and eastern european folk traditions recently, some more obliquely than others of course.

I love really fake sounding instrument settings on old keyboards. That's the next big sonic trend after analogue/FM synthesis has run it's course. Also, the way these sounds are used in dancefloor tracks is completely different from how an instrumentalist would/could use them.
