Hey Craig, I would suggest anything by Donato Dozzy, an absolutely amazing producer and dj. Ambient, trippy and dubbed out techno, proper headphone stuff. Also the label Hypnus Records.

You can also check his techno aka, Monrella.
Check spanish top producers like Exium, Tensal, Oscar Mulero…anything in Polegrup. Not exactly minimal, more towards dark techno .

Thanks for that, hadn’t spotted that one.

It’s banging (obviously).

Yes, I’m a huge fan of him. Monrella is his techno project. FRET is another one but without four on the floor kick patterns.

Both of them are very productive and releasing lots of new material. I’m glad they do. They have such an impressive history in all kind of genres without loosing their unique voice. The perfect mix of metal and punk with electronic music.

My contribution is Andrea Cichecki’s 2013 ep Isometric Illusions, this release is a true gem:

You might enjoy Hawtin’s DE9 mix CDs, especially the second and third editions… the first is awesome but a bit more straightforward techno, the second and third ones he got more into making a collage of loops from other tracks. The third one is probably my favourite, it flows really nicely and has a lot of Mika Vanio style bleepy stuff.

First:

Second:

Third:

Also as others have said, his 90s albums as Plastikman are really worth checking out.

I think consumed 1998 and closer 2003 are his most dark & minimal albums though

Ah yeah, those are the ones I was thinking of, thought they were earlier than that! The earlier 90s stuff is more acid and probably not what he is looking for indeed :slight_smile:
