Techno/House is 30+ years old now. You'll always have people innovating new styles but if you study closely you'll recognize styles & trends come in cycles because many things have happened once they are happening again. Right now.

5-6 years ago the trend was about groovier funky deep house alongside dark industrial atmospheric techno. In some ways this is an interim analogous to periods of the mid 90s. Fast forward the scene is mimicking the late 90s / early 2000s

This trend is maximalist big room ravey tunes, breaks, hardcore, trance and 140+ BPM techno. Historically When you start increasing BPMs is when this stuff comes along. Coincidentally this is also when things get commercialised and corny

This happened in the early 2000s. The modern equivalent of this is "business techno" they relinquished the groove and emotion of tracks and traded it in for maximalism, sterilization and intensity.

It's trying to be the hardest the biggest the fastest completely devoid of any semblance of character. This happened in the late 90s and early 2000s due to big commercialization. when eurodance, and labels like Sony hell even festivals like love parade caught on. Trance.

Alot of big DJs we already know like capitalized off this during the first wave
of festival culture like Chris Liebing, Carl Cox, Marco Carola, Tiesto etc Im being a bit broad but yeah.

So the natural historical reaction to this is minimal. Minimal in many ways was a reaction to all of this maximalist techno
in the early 2000s and it's literally coming back right now. dance music is cyclical. A big sign is seeing a trend of actual proper tech house coming back

There's a reason why businesses techno DJs like Amelie, Boris Brejcha etc exist it's because this is the natural evolution of big corporatizing of dance music alongside festival culture. EDM is for the most part dying so it's absorbing the rest of dance music

There is nothing new under the sun. This all happened before and it's happening again. This is why I stress the importance of studying dance music so you can have historical context

Also this goes for those who think they invented the wheel. You ain't shit. Go open discogs.
