Daniel Taylor - M.O.R.D. (Loco Dice Remix)

A quick flashback to the original mid-2000's minimal days when Loco Dice was smashing things at Circo Loco and this chuggy, minimal sound was the coolest thing around - this is an overlooked track in my opinion and deserves some more attention.

Fathers & Sons Productions - FAS Souls

This gave me that kind of sicky coming up feeling, with its low tones of emotion - quite sad and mournful yet hopeful at the same time - and a wonderful cut back in of the beat.

Ricardo Villalobos - Ferenc

Controversial but Dependent And Happy is my favourite Villalobos album.  There is so much undiscovered beauty in it including this spaced out dreamy taxi-beeping New York trip.  Even more controversial - the track is less than 5 minutes long.

Ricardo Villalobos - Das Leben Ist So Anders Ohne Dich

Dependent And Happy is such an under-rated album, so full of beauty and wonder that it is easy to overlook certain tracks, which for me, this has been an overlooked beauty - full of delicate charm and a gruff German vocal line that I am happy to never know what it means.

Alex & Digby - Crowhurst

A sombre, gloomy track - almost perfect to play towards the end of a wonderful drug-fuelled holiday in Ibiza.  With enough serotonin depletion, this would make you cry.

Melodie - Justa

It never fails to amaze me how you can listen to a track once, think it is ok, then listen again and think it is amazing.  Maybe it is because I've recently seen an excellent set by Melodie - this track is a warm, gentle bassline-friendly groover.

iO (Mulen) - Flute

iO (Mulen) are putting out a rash of really good minimal tracks and this is the pick of them for me, it has quite a lot of energy for a minimal track and grooves along very nicely.

Silat Beksi - Rumble

Crunchy electronic minimal.

Zefzeed - Control Yourself (Cristi Cons Remix)

Super smooth hypnotic wonder - even my 50 year old Scottish desk-neighbour likes it.

SIT - Angels

Groovy, hypnotic, wonderful.

Vid Vai - Aloft

Like swimming through a gloomy soup whilst on mushrooms.

Volkan Akin - Voltage (Villalobos AC DC Remix)

Twisted, growling remix from the king - watch out for the mid-way switch.

Cobblestone Jazz - Hired Touch

At first I had no idea this was Cobblestone Jazz - it is after all, another cracking hypnotic Romanian-sounding minimal track.  But it has that haunting edge and musical groove to it that makes it stand out - and it makes sense by the end that of course it is Cobblestone Jazz

Affie Yusuf - Rinse & Dry

A simple, fairly slow beat, but with a very catchy hum-along melody, and plinks of a xylophone.  Effective.

Luc Ringeisen - Glance At The Other Side Of The Rejected Mirror

Slightly glitchy minimal track with various odd drums over it, and a variety of nonsense.

Takashi Himeoka - Ludwig

I've been after this for some time, since I was back at a friend's flat and managed to persuade them to swap X Factor for minimal techno seeing as it was 5am and we were out of it.  It is just a hypnotic groove with this enchanting English fellow occasionally saying "Yes that's right, exactly".

Riccardo - Lapiuta

Such an infectious track, simple rising repeated cleeps - absolutely rammed-packed full of charm.  Julietta recently finished a mix with it, and it was played at Fuse on NYD.  Minimally massive.

Seuil - Al Capote

Gangster minimal.  Live by the gun, die by the gun.  Or live by the ket, die by the ket.  It has a groovy beat to it too.

Cristi Cons - Bird In Space

Hypnotic beauty from one of the stars of 2015, with strains of a deep house classic.

Samu l - Bella Mattina

A quiet plodder, with the huge exception of some hauntingly beautiful piano twists.  Superb.
