Label Spotlight - Minus Records

One of the most respected and looked at label in the minimal techno community would be Richie Hawtin's "Minus" techno label. It is the home to Hawtin himself, Magda, Heartthrob, Berg Nixon, Marc Houle, Troy Pierce, Ambivalent, JLPS, Gaiser and a select cut of others. Based as much now in Berlin as it is in Windsor Ontario, Minus continues to release the most uncompromising and future forward techno the world has to offer.
A new generation of fresh artists from around the globe and various influential labels such as Minus have shaken techno to its very foundations, questioning the essence of sound and rhythm, twisting it into a sonic spectacle of colliding clicks and bleeps, infectious basslines and hypnotic melodies all firmly layered on the universal language of the four to the floor beat.
All through electronic music's history, minimalism has played a seminal role in defining the basic structures and rhythms that have captivated so many people and will continue to do so. But never so much as today have the basic ingredients of techno attracted so much attention worldwide.
Pioneered by techno illuminaries such as Robert Hood, Richie Hawtin or Daniel Bell, minimal techno has evolved into a musical force of its own and Minus continues to push the boundaries and blow up dancefloors.
