Minimal Techno focuses on rhythm and repetition instead of melody and linear progression, much like classical minimalist music and the polyrhythmic African musical tradition that helped to inspire it. The average tempo of a Minimal Techno track is between 125 and 130 beats per minute.
Our Minimal sample packs provide producers with analogue kick drums, atmospheric pads, raw & organic sounds, dark synthesizer chord lines, and arpeggios. Download Minimal samples to create sparse, dark Club tracks.
