Minor Science is the recording alias of Angus Finlayson, a British-born, Berlin-based producer and music journalist. His work is central to the 'deconstructed club' or 'post-techno' movement, characterized by extreme digital precision and a focus on sonic materiality.
Emerging through the influential Whities (AD 93) label, Finlayson established a sound that bridges the gap between functional dancefloor weaponry and academic sound design. His debut LP, 'Second Language' (2020), was critically lauded for its exploration of translation and communication through complex rhythmic patterns and hybrid synthesis. Finlayson's dual career as a critic for platforms like Resident Advisor informs his production, which often feels like a dialogue with the history of electronic music. His 'Absent Friends' project further demonstrates his versatility, moving into collage-based ambient and experimental territories. He is widely regarded as a 'producer's producer,' respected for his innovative use of space, high-fidelity textures, and the ability to make avant-garde concepts feel visceral and accessible.
