Okay I'm not understanding your line of reasoning here. Your question,
to me, is almost tautological...
This kick/hh pattern is prevelant:
a) because that's the most stripped down house/techno beat besides
just a kick that one can have and
b) because genres are defined by their cliches, and this
Sorry, it was a knee-jerk reaction to hearing this pattern over and over
again while browsing Juno's techno new releases.
You are correct about it being a cliché. I've heard plenty of minimal
mixes that don't deviate from this pattern from start to finish. With this
being the standard beat

Exactly. This is what's missing with so many (in fact, most) DJs these
days. Few people mix up their styles, they just stick to one particular
sub-sub-genre for their whole set. Often for the entire night in some
clubs.
No matter how wicked the tracks are, any sound becomes dull if it

This happened with trance. It was once a small sub-genre of techno and
more or less ok as such. When you start having nights playing nothing
but (trance, minimal etc etc) that's when it gets dull.
Take Looped Bangers. That particular sub-genre of techno more or less

Well, I thought that this might be true, until I did a little
experiment. I went to beatport, and I listened, in order, to the 150

You could argue that the people who peddled this stuff are the same
people peddling 'minimal' (Richie, Beyer etc)
The dullness has remained but the tempo has dropped.

Villalobos really is a good DJ in my opinion, at least in the last 18
months for sure. And he does not be any means spin all minimal
sounding stuff in his sets. He's got a lot of tribal house type vibe
going much of the time
What david said -- the beat is the armature upon which interesting
things are strung.
The mix Ronnie Pries posted is the perfect counterexample to boring techno.
