I have a chronic illness and pretty much can't stand being in clubs, or can't stand standing, for very long! for loads of label shirts go to http://decks.de “and for those of us who are too old and lazy to go out see djs live.. blogs like this are a nice replacement. keep up the good work. cheers”

I used to find the dry clicky stuff kind of impenetrable, I guess it is really. When I think of why I buy one record on Beatport or wherever instead of another, these days it really is just "feel". Sometimes I can instantly tell if something is something I like, probably as much to do with certain ways of production, which if I understood as a producer I could explain, but as a fan I don't know, it's all pretty instinctive. It is impossible to keep up though, for anyone! I mean I think there are other genres, old and new, dance and otherwise that I'd love to check out more. Dub, Wild Pitch, crazy cinema soundtracks...just a whole universe of stuff! Cheers for checking it out Matt…yeah there’s a wealth of stuff out there.

Being a huge Moodymann fan and a minimal follower, this is the perfect combination to my ears. I agree that minimal has become such an umbrella term that it seems to encompass anything new in the house realm that is at least minimally minimal in nature, regardless of links to the past. This, combined with the huge quantity of stuff that comes out (as you mentioned) sometimes makes it overwhelming to try to keep up. Especially when the sheer amount of stuff out there means that track after track can begin to sound very same-y and very little seems to standout. Sure, much of this stuff is going to sound similar by nature, but sometimes it just feels like my ears are being inundated with only slight variations on the exact same sounds (especially with the drier stuff). But then some days this feeling of "ugh, so much the same and so little exciting" comes out as "so much good stuff it's overwhelming" instead. In the end both feelings result in the real, true standouts being even more appreciated...and the dreadful feeling that I've missed many other potential standouts. Oh well, what a way to complain, having "too much" music to listen to. Thanks for the great blog and for digging deeper and sorry for the rambling. Choice track Ronan, thanks so much.

I usually check out the Plak stuff but completely missed out on this one. I think plucking out those lost gems is what the good mp3 blogs do best.
