Geez, I better stop!

Percussion is 1/2 of the equation for me, on equal footing with bass imo
Nothing like something that makes you swing you hips

[collige]

Benga. He never fails to make you dance.

Runner ups: Vex'd, Mala, Toasty, Ramadanman, Shackleton, Coki

[Staley]

I think L.D. takes the cake for this one.

[Acre]

I think Shackleton dons it out quite hard on the percussion side of things, especially how he gets that very acoustic, hypnotic element down to a tee. Also have to say Ramadanman, you just have to listen to Blimey to know

[murky21]

I think it pretty hard to argue with Ramadanman's drum patterns. Also thought the percussion throughout Jack Sparrow - Circadian is sublime. And for a less obvious shout, Coleco's drums are SICK!

...Percussion is 1/2 of the equation for me, on equal footing with bass....

pretty much this!

100%! thats my problem with loads of the "brostep" stuff that was coming out was the percussion was so dry

[dr hugo]

Rockwell, has he made anything around 140?

[joeki]

Most obvious ones have been mentioned. I'll add these :

Jam City
James Blake

[murky21]

dont think so. Are you saying this after buying the Aria EP? some nice percussion work on that 1. hopefully he will keep hanging around with icicle and make some 140 with him

[olly]

kromestars percussion is top notch, especially his newer tunes

[defoxster]

I think L.D. takes the cake for this one.

Or on a different note Hackman always comes correct. So much swing in both there tracks!

[-dubson-]

Mala, Shackleton, T++

[Etches828]

Gotta be Burial, Synkro or Joy Orbison for me. Most of Joy's stuff is quite simplistic but really effective

[icanicant]

Kromestar, Synkro or Mala

[ddia]

obviously shackleton, death is not final in particular. He works with live percussionists on tunes too.

rockwell for dnb, new tune with untold is madness!
