Minimal Techno is a stripped down, mellow version of it's more popular cousin techno, but the two really sound nothing alike with the only similarity being that they're both made with electronic instruments. The subgenre utilizes a steady and slow rhythm between 110 and 135 BPM. Repetition and ethereal noodling also contribute to the reflective and relaxing yet danceable sound.

If you’re stressed-out, over worked, or just need to relax, I have crafted this playlist with you in mind. Just add a martini and a good book to this playlist and you have a recipe for relaxation. The list includes some of the very best minimal techno available, and it’s the perfect background for chilling out without being put to sleep.
