If you dont like brinkmann's minimal stuff then
you might not like a lot of Mike Ink's works for
Mike Ink was the one who really pioneered
the ultra minimal sound several years ago with
his Studio 1 series. Brinkmann's first release
was a remix album of the Studio 1 series.
Mike's profan stuff is also minimal but with
more of a funky tech-house twist.
Mike Ink's Gas stuff is really deep an dubby -
not minimal at all. you may like this if you like
the bc/cr sound.
Mike also does a lot of stuff that has a strong
acid flavor too.
Overall Mike Ink has over 200 releases so there
are bound to be things you like and dislike.
I suggest you buy the Profan sampler cd to
see if the various sounds on that label suit
you. Same goes for the Studio 1 comp.
