i fuckin love the Skull Disco label, Appleblim n Shackleton are superb.

This thread reminds me of why I like younger genres of electronic music in the first place - it might be ironic, but they are way more diverse. The fact that no one agrees who the uber producers are is a posative in my book.

As a side note, the PRODUCERS are the ones who let drum and bass slide toward the same sound and coagulated what once was a super diverse genre of music into the few variations of the same beat and distorted bassline that were deemed accceptable. Its up to you not to allow that to happen to dubstep.

That being said, Excision gets my vote right now for unique sound. That bass sound he is pushing is unique and instantly recognizable as his.

Mala without any doubt, didn't quite understand his tunes at first but the more you listen to them, the deeper they get.

Quest is easily my 2nd favourite
followed by:

Boxcutter
Burial
Peverelist
Pangaea
Martyn
Cluekid



and from what i've heard the stuff from Von D and Spatial seems quite special

agreed, Pangaea are dope.

Kode9 or Burial.

Memories Of The Future, Untrue and to s very slightly lesser extent Burial are pieces of musical importance that will be listened to in the future. Lots of electronic/dance music gets forgotten as soon as clubs stop playing it, especially albums... those will definitely stick.

Bar 9, Burial, Nero, Toasty are all up there in my eyes...

Having said that, when I think of Dubstep it's Skream that comes straight to mind.

It's such a hard choice though as there are so many top producers doing their own thing and creating quality music, to choose just one would be extremely difficult for me.

Mala & Loefah

Can't really choose one...narrowed it down to four

Headhunter
Reso
Jack Sparrow
Goth-Trad

well im 95% new to dubstep(known about it for a few weeks).

and my knowledge goes as far as skream, bar 9 caspa and rusko.

and for me caspa and rusko kill it....more so rusko.

I reckon maybe ramadanman

Goth-Trad
Kode9
Cyrus
L-Wiz

Snoop Dogg

Them two for sure.

There music sounds proper music to me and not just noises stuck on a grid or shitloads of automation. Great melody and sick rhythm.

Other people I like would be Zed Bias, El-B, Oris Jay, Skream and Luke Envoy

Toasty Boy is the most underrated producer across the whole of electronic music.

such a good point

For straight up technically amazing tunes its Reso Haaaands down.

Breakage probally edges it for me.

Together is one of the best produced tunes that i can think of.
