2006 was the year I first went to Movement in Detroit — my favourite festival in my favourite city. At the time, minimal techno was everywhere. I’d never worked at 120 bpm before, and I honestly had no idea what made a “minimal techno” track actually minimal techno.
So I tried. Ten times.
What came out wasn’t minimal techno at all — at least, I don’t think so. But what it is turned out funky, different, and very much my own. Sometimes not fitting the mold is the point.
That’s how Minimal Ten was born.
