Understanding Electronic

a simple mind statement........

For all you dance fanatics and electronic music addicts. House music is nothing that is unfamiliar to you, i believe. With playful tunes and joyful disco that will guarantee to daze your night. House music has seen the coming and goings of many great electronic artists (from as early as the Summer Dance Festival in 1989) to the massive Love Parade in German.

House music itself is divided into many subcultures that will guarantee to boast your intrigue knowledge to understand more about this music. Since 2003, Electro has become the new buzz of our city (Jakarta), okay, Indonesia, perhaps. Everyone plays Electro, every club we went to plays a distinguished electro music. Little did we know that one branch of house music that was rooted from Electro is evolving, and its evolving fast. Minimal Techno to some people, or just plain Minimal. 

With deep curios basslines and delicious vocal mashed together with eerie synth background, Minimal plays an important role on today's dance music. Minimal has become the biggest news around the world. 

But, why? oh why? 

our people seems to be having a hard time understanding this kind of music, all that they want to hear is another Electro, anything pumping. It's not that it's uncool, it's just unbelievable how hard it is to make Indonesian people like something new (and not tailing on the back) as we are led to believe.

for all you new to this kind of music, try downloading certain artists that might boasts your interest on this music

1. Gui Boratto

2. Oliver Lieb

3. Chris Liebing

4. Ame (played in Stadium in 2007, was a great success but poorly played a different set than he usually is)

5. Radioslave

Minimal may suck to some people, some people won't love it all. I fully understand that, but there was a day i went to a club and there's this guy standing out front asking to the bouncer "what kind of music they're playing inside?" and the bouncer answered "tonight is a night dedicated to minimal techno and minimal electro", the guy then fastly answered "what is that and will the DJ's play electro?" when the guy learns that no electro will be played tonight, he left, without even wanting to know what Minimal is.

i am not saying that Electro is lame, i am not saying that other genre is so "back-in-the-days", i am simply saying, why can't us (as proud Indonesian's) learn to love something new?

cheers,
