[edit] POV tag
Hi. I think this is a decent article, but it contains a significant amount of POV phrasing that's raising a red flag for me. Not knowing enough about the genre to neutralize it, I've tagged the whole article. Here are some examples of what I perceive as slight bias, mostly in the intro paragraph, that should be neturalized...
- "takes minimal house to a new level"
- "essential dance-inducing elements of house music"
- "its click-and-cut aesthetic mixes well and compliments techno"
- "funkier house and dub influences give it a greater accessibility and more danceable sound"
Thanks. Otherwise, I think this is a good article. Despite being a fan of Akufen, I've never heard of this genre before. --Ds13 19:57, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
I made a few edits. Don't know if that helps or not... --Darktremor 22:56, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
I find the revised version reads very well, no issues. --Fingal 23:30, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
More edits. I've sectioned it off, added notable artists, and expanded on it. It's a full-blown article now, although I'm sure there are still issues - the main one being the lack of real references. I'm having serious problems with that, since my only really good source is the Philip Sherburne Wire article, which I can't find online anywhere. --Darktremor 22:56, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
I find this genre hard to place under other music genres. While it is officially a subgenre of house (and tied to the dancefloor), different tracks take different influence from a wide variety of sources. Also, many would argue it's barely related to house, and more of a techno subgenre. I've decided to give it its own genre, not because it's a major genre on its own, but because it comes from too many different scenes and places to give it a single ancestor. --Darktremor 22:02, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
I don't see the difference between this article and Minimal techno. THE evil fluffyface 06:47, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] a second definition of "Microhouse" exists
Microhouse is also a common term used to describe housing that creates a usable, complete living space in a compact space. I am not familiar with the Wikipedia system of updating enough to create a cross-reference but if someone who knows how feels compelled to note there is a second definition and maybe create some content to support it, here are some relevant links:

[edit] Improve
Please improve this article asap with appropriate citations or it will have to be severely edited to remove WP:POV info. It has banners in place for some time now without a serious attempt made at providing some form of verifiable referencing. Semitransgenic (talk) 09:57, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
