Minimal Milan is a small compilation of electronic music artists located in Milan, Italy. The six tracks that compose it had been selected by Xiu (Oksana Rodionova), who with this first 12" starts her own new imprint Minimal Trend Records. The artists involved are AU+, Plovdiv, Tobler Orchestra, Words and Actions, MM2, and Oksana under her MarryMe2Night alternative moniker.
The label will host various types of electronic music always seen throught a dark and blurred glass. Minimal synth, minimal techno, electro, new wave, cold wave, dark wave, dark ambient, noise ambient, experimental, industrial & post punk will be found there.
As the title of the album suggest. The design of the sleeve had to be minimalistic and dark in some way to fit the mood of the music inside. So after some concepts and sketches, I ended using nothing more than the lleters of the title in a small and simple reading game.
The back of the cover and the B side of the vinyl correspond to a small version of Milan's metro network to evoke the underground origin of the music and relate it with the city where it has been produced.
The launch is planned for December 2013. Meanwhile it can be previewed on Bandcamp.
