#071 Jeremy P Caulfield

Is minimal the same as mnml? What about minimal techno? Microhouse? At least it's not HARD TECHNO anyway. That's the worst. Well maybe not the actual worst, but bad enough to spawn a popular musical movement in direct opposition to it. What that movement actually consisted of is more of a difficult question than you might imagine though. Just look at that first paragraph. Jeremy P Caulfield is a Toronto guy who moved to Berlin in 2003, just when the minimal sound of that particular city was beginning to really incubate. Through his label, Dumb Unit, production work, and DJ sets, he was a big part of that sound as it emerged to briefly dominate the European clubbing landscape. Personally, I really love the music of that era and it was a great opportunity to sit down with Jeremy to pick his brain on the whole thing, from the boom to the bust. We also talk about the contemporary techno scene, similarities with the 90s, his hiatus from music, mental health, and a lot more besides. This was a great conversation which you're definitely going to enjoy! If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon!
