极简科技舞曲Minimal Techno

极简科技舞曲（Minimal Techno）是科技舞曲（Techno）下的一个子风格。它是科技舞曲（Techno）的一种极简主义表现方式。随着浩室舞曲（House）和科技舞曲（Techno）的发展，越来越多的音乐人在其之上加入各种层次点缀。

极简科技舞曲则是一次向最初简约的回归，并吸收了极简主义音乐的“渐进”美学。90年代初，一些底特律音乐人如Robert Hood和Daniel Bell将其推进。

特征

极简科技舞曲有两个特征，一个是简明性，它使用直截了当的鼓点和鲜明的合成器程式。除了保留核心结构外，将一切繁杂去除。另一个是渐进性，虽然鼓点和音色看似一成不变，但它们是仍然极为缓慢的向前推进的，从而一点一点的升华情绪。

流行时段

1990年代初至今

英文简介

When house and techno first came on the scene in the mid-'80s, productions were minimal out of necessity. As the art of sampling and programming developed, the music became more layered and professional sounding -- a progression according to some, but an unnecessary crossover move to others. Reacting against these increasingly dense productions, Minimalist Techno figures cleared their productions of most everything except pointed drum programs and stark sequencer or synthesizer patterns. Detroit figures like Rob Hood, Jeff Mills, and Plastikman led the way, with later figures including Surgeon, Oliver Ho, and Stewart Walker also contributing to the new idiom.
