[@bux77]

Has she released a version of Megapunk with the Greta sample, it is awesome

[@AlinGlow]

She has no plan on it (I just asked exactly same question on her Instagram AMA ~month ago). But we can still enjoy it on livesets :) And looks like every one has slightly different version. Love it.

[@patriciosepulveda6058]

Ela Minus llegó con aires frescos a refrescar la electrónica, con sus sutilezas latinas y con su aporte musical sólido! Es un referente a nivel mundial y diría, que la electrónica ha demostrado ser mucho más que el "punchi-punchi", campo donde la creatividad y sonidos experimentales estimulan también, nuevos estados de conciencia. ¡Gracias Ela Minus!

[@anareginacoronado1147]

excelente descripción, concuerdo!

[@Iminvisibleman]

Estas un poco perdidito a refrescar la electrónica si ya hace 50 años

[@patriciosepulveda6058]

@@Iminvisibleman esta muy vigente, no conoces de la variedad de sub géneros (no todo es punchi-punchi ni fiestas electrónicas).

[@MarkRodriguezOficial]

Es muy buena, pero no es referente. Más bien ella toma referentes cómo DM, Kraftwerk o OMD por decir algunos que se me vienen a la mente. La música electrónica no solamente es punchis, todo depende cómo vaya fluyendo la música de tu entorno. Que da toques frescos sí estoy de acuerdo, talento muchísimo. Pero creo que tienes el concepto de la música electrónica un poco pasmado, hay unas muy buenas propuestas hoy en día.

Funny, I fell asleep the other day while watching some other video, dreamed myself through this one - with it as an unexpected soundtrack - and woke up to the last track which two days later still feels as magical and out of this world as it did while I was waking up. Amazing.

[@shadowoftime01]

I love this, it’s very New Order and it’s awesome seeing her actively doing everything. I’m so used to seeing electronic artist just hit play and dance about which doesn’t lead to much dynamic music or motion. This is proper skill which is quite evident in the music.

[@squeakeththewheel]

she is also an electronics engineer and designed and built one of the synths on the top shelf to the far right. and a drummer. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnivda2eq5p5a7M

Experimental, methodical, free and rebellious. I love her energy. Plus, who the hell can put "Mmmmm" in a song that seamlessly? Seriously, the only artists I can listen to for hours on end are Thievery Corporation and Ela. The Minus clearly stands for: Minus fucks given. Hope I'll see you live one day!

[@minuteskill]

How is this "experimental"? its sequenced synths like 98% of all the other artists on soundcloud. how do you live in a world filled with this music and it is everywher eyou look online and then pretend it is experimental LOL

[@rjohnson5972]

Matt it's not rocket science That's why it's called art. Do like she and so many others did go to school to learn how to use the equipment and structure of a song and then use the schools equipment. To try your creative skill. If you don't have a school near you That offers this curriculum Move to 1 somewhere that does , the old saying Doers do & talkers talk. Best of luck in your quest.

[@DeathMetalOnToast]

Easy to look at a video like this, price the rig and go 'damn I couldn't afford that'. But if you build up components over a long period of time then it's manageable and you get to explore and evolve the setup overtime. If this was your style and you were serious about it all you really need is a laptop to start, then figure out what outboard stuff you're most interested in and go from there.
