I can't believe that none of you have wigged out to the dynamic bassline work in Luke Envoy's Hotflush release?
Toasty's drums & Burial's edits round out my top three.

thing is you always hear mastered versions of tracks which have given muchos love by a professional mastering engineer. It doesn;t particularly matter at all, but i would be interested to hear how good the original wav mixdowns were pre-mastering. I spend alot of time trying to get my tunes sounding as good as released ones (fruitlesssly i may add) and sometimes i wonder if i shouldn;t just spend some time at Transition seeing what they can do with my stuff as it is. 
the answer is probably not much.

The tune that it took me longest to get my head around is called "Back 2 Chill' by Goth Trad. After many blazing sessions with the song on repeat, I still dont get all of wat's going on. Everything is perfect, the percusion, beat pattern, strings & bass. http://www.myspace.com/gothtrad

sometimes i find it really refreshing to put on some under-produced grime (especially true of older tracks) where everything's not perfectly eq'd and mixed down. that fixation on the perfect sound can really drain the soul out of a track. it's like it's in a display case with a velvet rope around it. so i guess i have favourite producers but i don't get off too much on spectral perfection.
that said, qawaali is the track i put on when i want to show off my stereo.

what about horsepower?? benny ill is a sick producer...
d1 for sure, has a really tight crisp sound, real solid low end too... great knack for melody
the entire dmz crew as everyone else has said...
kode9 picks and creates the most interesting sounds to my ears and does not repeat himself much... such variety - fukkaz, fat larry's rmx , curious,konfusion... so many tunes... everything hes done is spot on to me.
the early eski stuff...
ghost
but i think basicchannel/r&s have the most amazing sounds i've ever heard frankly.

really great way to put that. sometimes super strict production values make a song cold...narcossist wrote:completely agreed man.autonomic wrote:sometimes i find it really refreshing to put on some under-produced grime (especially true of older tracks) where everything's not perfectly eq'd and mixed down. that fixation on the perfect sound can really drain the soul out of a track. it's like it's in a display case with a velvet rope around it. so i guess i have favourite producers but i don't get off too much on spectral perfection.

In total agreement on this. Sometimes I crave that "amateur" (bad choice of words, I know) sound. Like, you can have your super slick, neuro/dungeon sounds, but sometimes I just need to listen to stuff like Benga & Skream - The Judgement or something similar, stuff like XTC/Ruff Sqwad - Funktions On The Low.

I agree, point in case:
All Politics aside (we all know what kind of an asshole this figure is/was), this sounds great because it actually sounds recorded in a shack in the Norwegian woods with basic equipment and broken guitars. It adds a rawness and authenticity. Slick production is nice and all, but sometimes you need that rawness, that physicality, that pureness.

Mayhem's De Mysteriis... has a similar vibe
