and autechre!

[Jim Wetwoods]

and autechre!

Yep! All them, but mostly Luke Vibert- he takes on all styles and swings them all! His '96ish stuff is best (Plug and Tally-Ho era Wagon Christ) but it's all good! (Amen Andrews was a bit of a let-down tho)

Pre-Fuse, Vex'd, Murcof......

[ASBO]

Pheew, has to be HIVE!!!! Ouch

[gregmantis]

Liam Howlett!

Always has been my main inspiration.

yeah luke vibert seems to just make stuff that could be really cheesy come out great. listening to "musipal" always makes me smile.

akufen did the bizness with the psychometry series, but not sure about his more recent stuff.

Liam Howlett!

Always has been my main inspiration.

Heh heh- I heard a good trick from a friend that Liam Howlett uses on stage- he sets up his MIDI trigger keyboard so that each individual sample can be triggered from 5 or 6 consecutive notes- that means that he can get bolloxed and clumsily whack the keyboard, and still (probably) start the correct sample.
Munter-tronics.... genius!

haha thats genius! he could probably afford to have a special keyboard made with giant keys made. like each key is 3 inches wide or something. or maybe a keyboard with different shapes for each sound, like an early learning centre toy!

doormouse

mmmm, i wouldn't have outlined doormouse as having amazing production.

Dont get me wrong, i really like his music but for his ideas, techniques, style etc..  i think his production is lacking a little  (not that i care, i dont really like when artists aim for some utopian, gleaming production)

Someone like Richard Devine or µ-ziq  , i would put forward

[Android Lloyd Webber]

Agreed, to be fair doormouses production is a bit weak really....

made up for by the fact that he's a looney.

Deffo richard devine..... myyy god! and some of chris clark's stuff is amazingly produced in a crunchy messy kind of way... can't wait for the new album, whenever it happens.. his new tunes have been sounding amazing live..`

oh fuck... EXILE! production wise he is on top of his game... seriously good.


yup

[Bad ass Barrymore's secret sunday swim social.]

oh yeh!!    yes indeedy, Exile - defo.....   

[Jim Wetwoods]

Mu-Ziq can be a bit hit-and-miss, Ease Up was a good'un though. Kid 606 as well- some of his tunes are great, but the production knocks them down to average.

Forgot to put in Soundmurderer on my last one- Propahrinsinbumbuhbludclaaaaaaht!!

[7 below]

Well I consider the term production with respect to electronic music to include ideas, technique, style etc as well as a certain proportion of the sound engineering - which makes me include Doormouse in my respect list, especially due to his major changes LP

[Jim Wetwoods]

I really like Infatuated Testicles from Freaked Out Mess, but the production is .....odd. Good, but odd. Just not the same kind of audio spectrum as similar breakcorers.

I saw Cylob do a live computer set up in Leeds last year and nearly shat my pants with pleasure- it was a great rig and I've never heard such a frequency work-out! Bass-lines morphing into melodies, hi-hats warped into bass-lines. Seamless and funky as fwaark!

and all done with the "Cylob Music System ", which is some software that he wrote in SuperCollider Server:

http://www.cylob.com/cylobmusicsystem.html


proper amazing stuff.

i think EXILE also uses his own selfbult music set up, this time done in Reaktor though

good tutorial here: http://www.cus.cam.ac.uk/~nc272/didactic.html

[Android Lloyd Webber]

amazing... thanks for that.


I'm going back to school...

[mattg]

amazing... thanks for that.


I'm going back to school...

cool... i went on an SC summer school that nick collins & fredric olafson taught at westminster uni a couple of years ago - that tutorial is basically the notes for it. it was extremely useful, i'd highly recomend it. you get to nerd it up in the day, and then errrrrr.... nerd it up at night, except this time with some booze. i think it still runs every year.  if you get stuck, drop me a message on here and i'll see if i can help u out. another thing worth doing is joining the sc-users email list, you can ask questions and pick up useful info. its good just to observe and check out peoples example code on there.

[jimmy5b]

ok, try this guy out all you d n b heads...

James Holden.  You may have heard of him or not but anyone who is worth there salt who is into production will appreciate the genius of this man. The space and sound s he creates are out of this world...

Check these for an education..

Andre Kraml - Safari (James Holden Mix) (crosstown rebels)
James Holden - A break in The Clouds (border community)
Nathan Fake - The Sky Was Pink (james Holden Mix)

I would be interested to hear what you bass heads think. Give it a try...

[noremac]

in no particular order, chosen mainly for the evident thought given to each production, a bit of sonic design and some space for stuff to breathe etc:

cause4concern
rupert parkes
noisia
teebee
carl finlow
kit clayton

HAHAaa thats classic! I can totaly imagine that. What a great idea ?!!

They could start marketing some sort of my first Live Set by Fisher Price



heheee

Techno wise - I admire Ade Fenton 

Both he and his label  'advanced'  fucking rock it - unfortunately I only ever seem to hear acid/free party style techno these days, which i'm not keen on 

[coo]

Squarepusher - how could you not??

[Android Lloyd Webber]

Squarepusher - how could you not??

[Bio.s]

it's boring but... noisia.. their shit is soooo on point that i practically gave up producing!

Oh and Unknown Error are starting to get a lot of notice from me.  Not completely 'up my alley' (except Hellraiser ), but those guys are a seriously competent production team.

[fiasco]

Fresh's bass a la 'big love'

[Skat Kat]

gonna be boring and say dj shadow.. jus love entroducing so much!!

[Gilbatron]

Juan Atkins is a genius

[Gecko]

Got loads of respect for Si Beggs production even if not every track he writes is my cup of tea. Same goes for Square Pusher, absolute genius.

Matthew Herbert too, he's in a league of his own production wise. One of few producers who acutally makes unique music, unlike that of others in his field.

On a more general note - John dahlback, mathew johnson, switch, K&Dorfmesiter... dunno there's a million and one out there!

[Bad ass Barrymore's secret sunday swim social.]

argh, another, Amon Tobin - bloody brilliant!
