ORIGIN & FOUNDATION
From music Documentation
to Strategic Partnership
MINIMALER began in 2017 as an Instagram channel dedicated to broadcasting the authentic voices of underground electronic music culture – vinyl collectors, music producers and event organizers who were shaping the scene from the ground up.
What started as passionate documentation of the underground quickly evolved into something much more significant, a trusted platform where the electronic music community gathered to discover new sounds, connect with like-minded professionals and share the cultural knowledge that drives authentic scene participation.
Those early years of broadcasting revealed a critical gap in the electronic music industry : while the Instagram channel successfully showcased the creativity and passion within underground culture, the artists and professionals being featured often struggled with the business infrastructure necessary to sustain and scale their creative work. Talented producers, innovative label owners and dedicated event organizers had exceptional artistic vision but lacked access to strategic guidance that respected their cultural values while providing professional-grade business intelligence.
By listening closely to the community we were documenting, MINIMALER evolved from cultural broadcasting into strategic partnership. The trust and credibility built through years of authentic scene participation enabled us to understand what underground professionals were creating and what challenges they faced in building their careers. This insight drove the development of our current comprehensive service offering (from individual consultation to educational courses) all designed to bridge the gap between authentic underground culture and professional business success.
Electronic music’s underground scenes produce extraordinary artistic innovation but often struggle with the business infrastructure necessary, and artists with exceptional talent find themselves overwhelmed by the complexities of label relations, release strategy, brand development and industry navigation. Not because they lack capability but because they lack access to strategic guidance that respects their cultural values, and this is where MINIMALER bridges this gap by providing comprehensive strategic support that honors underground authenticity while delivering professional results.
We combine deep cultural knowledge with practical business expertise, offering services that range from individual artist development to comprehensive label operations support.
