ahh, so i'm not entitled to my opinions because i run a label? :) i
think there's way too much minimal techno that's done & that most of it
isn't up to par. it is, obviously, my sole opinion, based on turning
down lots of new ultra-hip records because i thought they had nothing to
them, just a repetition of the oh so famed berlin (& i guess koln) sound.
then again, i don't find the boringness of minimal techno that appaling.
it's actually quite nice; a total absence of obnoxiousness or
something. very soothing. but not my taste, for the most part.

i just happen to like & dislike very different things, & not based on
genre but on artists. the artists on no type all make music i like
listening to. that's why they're on the label.
i should also mention that i don't consider any artist to be a sacred
cow & that i like making fun of music which is held as such by many.
hope that clears it up. :)
