I don't understand why it took me so long to return to this thread, after browsing DSF for so long. ugh silly me!
Bluey

What DAW do you use? Logic!

How long have you been producing for? 2-3 Years, personally think i've upped my game a fair bit in the last 6-12 months.

What VSTs do you favour? Massive, ES2, mix between Ultrabeat and samplers for drums, messed around with a few different synths, and for the money, massive is too good.

What artists/labels would you say most clearly reflect your sound? Honestly, i don't have a solid sound at the moment, it's a lot of exploring, mixing and matching, i like playing with the deeper darker side of the genre, i also reckon it would be dope to do some oldschool garage vibes, i don't upload the majority of my works, the stuff i do upload reflects Tearout / midrange, but i wouldn't actually call it brostep.. (not because i don't want to be labeled brostep, just, in my honest opinion i don't think it fits in the same genre!)

Influences (both inside & outside of Dubstep) Chestplate crew, Deep Medi Crew, old school skream, benga, subscape.. to be completely honest everyone i listen to in the dubstep world influences me, as you'd expect, and it really depends what i'm listening to at the time i open up logic, as to how i make production decisions.. for example, if i listen to the blues brothers movie soundtrack (killer movie, killer soundtrack.. Not dubstep, incase you were confused..) it works wonders for my creative flow.

Would this be a remote collaboration, or would you prefer someone to work with IRL? (NB - if IRL, please state location) Personally, i'd prefer to something in person, i find sometimes i get too much writers block when producing by myself, the majority of my mates IRL don't produce, or even listen to dubstep, and those who do produce, produce either tech-trance or Disco house <3!
which, i still want to collab with both, but i want too find someone in my prefered field!
I'm located in Melbourne, Australia.. so if any of you melbourne heads are keen, hit me up!
But, if you like my sounds, or want to work with me anyway, hit me up with a pm, we can talk further there, exchange e-mails etc etc.

What is the best way of contacting you (PM/IM/email - obviously provide the email/IM address if it's the latter) I check the forum every day, so PMing me, should work quite well!

Provide a link to where your music can be heard www.soundcloud.com/blueyteamtom As stated above, i'm open to experiment with anything, would love to remain in the deeper sides of it, but would also just generally love to work with someone..

Cheers,
