I'll take a look at work ... I've got links there to some good stuff by Villalobos and maybe others I believe.
But why don't you have a listen to the new mix I just posted? Except a couple classics (work that mf, percolater), and a Femi Kuti track, it's all technically in the "minimal" category, but in my opinion it's a far cry from the monotone type sets people are decrying here. Maybe I'm wrong. Of course, maybe the fact that I put those three tracks in says something about my approach from the get go... I personally think of my current style as sort of techy jack-house, only done with a lot of minimal cuts, as opposed to minimal proper. Oh as far as Richie, my friends discovered that he plays MUCH better when his parents are around ... it it's like some kind of AA/NA plan for him... ;-) People said he played well last in Chicago, but I skipped it cus he sucked the last time I heard him here. ~D On 1/9/07, robin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Y'know I've not seen/heard these people play (a link to a mix illustrating the above good 'minimal' approach would be great fab :) ) Richie when he plays well is absolutely amazing, I've also heard him be super dull. No bashing from me. And as for the electro comment...yep I agree. robin...
