There's an even more obvious techno influence in the latest Kerri Chandler and Joey Negro/Scattering Stars (a LOT like Los Hermanos).
Speaking of minimal, I have a Terrence Dixon project coming out next month or early fall on End<to>enD.

It seems Kenny Dixon Jr.'s live set has been taken off the festival lineup. Anyone know if this is a temporary thing or not? Also, on the recent topic of good house music this memorial with the knowledge that Rob Hood ihas been a topic on here lately. I thought I'd share my club favorites right now. I'm all about this guy Mr. V on Louie Vega's record label Vega records. His, 'jus dance (sole channel mix) and somethin' with jazz are getting tons of play by deep house jocks and for me they are the perfect compromise between the direct simplicity of deep tracks and the warmth and familiarity of the smoother house stuff. They might be too jazzy or smooth for this list, but I definitely hear a techno influence in the sparse beat and use of dubbed out chords. Don't expect the eeriness of KDJ or theo, but top tunes in my book. For a good perspective of what the top deep house tracks getting play in da club this year I recommend Louie Vega's Ritual Dance mix. All well produced floor stormers for the deep house club scene, which, for better or worse, dominates the nightlife out here.
