Somewhat uncommonly, yesterday we found ourselves discussing minimal techno. The FADER staffers are fans, of varying degrees, of the genre, equally endeared and annoyed by its repetitiveness. Not everyone with a drum machine and a dream can be Jeff Mills, we know, but such a varying of quality within such a tiny genre is wild. Which is why we need good selectors, like UK-based Heidi from Get Physical, who peppers her sets with chipperness, wooden drum auxiliaries and chopped vocals. She recorded a live set for us recently that does the necessary meandering within a tight path, and we offer it to you in hopes that you find yourself equally mesmerized and charged.
