This is a new EP from Italian minimal tech outfit Eggbox, released on the Al Dente netlabel. There are only 4 tracks on "Closed", but each track is around 5 minutes, which rounds it out to about 20 minutes, which I think is ideal time for the ADD world of internet music listening.

The sounds represented throughout these 4 tracks are all in the minimal techno side of things, with some glitch and ambient elements thrown in as well. Most of the tracks start with a small thudding almost 8 bit sounding bass drum in a 4/4 pattern, and slowly build up to add more depth with other drums and instrumentation, such as chilled out pads or reverberated found sound type things. However, the emphasis is placed clearly on the beat, which is fine by me.

This is nice stuff if you like minimal, somewhat ambient and chilled out techno. You can listen to it for free on the label's site, so you aren't losing anything but a few minutes of your life if you don't dig it.
