Tomorrow’s "intelligent music"

Boris Brechja comes from Germany and has been studying, producing and writing music since he was a child. He released his first tracks, "Yellow Kitchen" and "Monster", in 2006, which was followed by four years of hard touring and live sets, plus a string of albums and singles. During that time, he developed his unique brand of minimalist techno, which he has described as tomorrow’s "intelligent music". His album, "22", has been hailed as a masterwork of the genre. Minimalist techno is dance music that is stripped down to its basic components. Tracks are built on a repetitive beat and undergo slow and subtle changes as the song progresses. DJs and producers Daniel Bell and Robert Hood are credited with the original development of this form. Other exponents of minimalist techno include the The Martinez Brothers and the world music vibe of IFE. Its ancestors are bands such as Kraftwerk and, to a certain extent, Can.
