fav new producer

Who's everyone's favourite new producer that they've discovered in the last 6 months or so?
Mine's Chris Lum, everything I find of his I love. From the deeper stuff to dirty funky styles. Check out 'Stinky Tool', Prince taking Peace Division to bed...

Maxwell.

Producer/Remixer: Harry "Choo Choo" Romero

can't really think that well at the moment but Dizzy comes to mind.

Code have ya got much Jayj stuff if ya likes Chris Lum you'll love JayJ

yeah, Chris Lum & Jay J are pretty hot at the moment.

SWAG are v v tasty.

What labels are banging at the mo? cos a few who were seem to have died off a bit lately
Defected
Afterhours

labels that really do it for me at the mo are-

Siesta
Maya
Doubledown
Shelter
Look At You

most of those are a bit too tracky for me, but still have a bunch of tunes off em, except for look at you, thats new on me

how do mean tracky?

i think i've been hanging out with too many old bastards i'm losing my hipness.

"i'm hip, i'm cool i got the 411"

or do u mean tacky?

tracky, when I'm talking, means thta it is a dancefloor choon aimed solely at the dance floor easy to mix ie MAW not tracky Junior Sanchez very tracky (Junior Sanchez relaeses tunes as Old Tracky Bastard)It prolly means something else to others but thats my interpretation

ok i get it now.

dance floor songs as opposed to tunes that can be as appreciated off the floor at home or in the car when you're not peaking off your tits!!

yeah thats the 1, it isn't a dis of the choon it's just the style so to speak

i guess so but believe it or not i really, actually like those tunes & i buy them for my benefit.

i was talking about this to my brother the other day. i would never buy a track 'cos it would be good on the dance floor or cos that's the track every dj has in their bag.

i buy tunes cos I want to listen to them & cos I like them not to keep people on the dance floor happy.

having said that i am only a bedroom dj but this is something i would stay true to even in the event of starting to play out. ie i ain't gonna play shit i don't like just cos the crowd will go off!

nb. this isn't supposed to sound defensive

haha i was writing the above as u were writing yours so it looks like my comments are just random!!

oh yeah & this also means if there is a song that everyone is thrashing eg One Phat Billie or the like & i do actually like it i'm gonna buy it & i don't give a shit if i'm not being original.

that's my point of view really.

c'mon don't tell me of killed the thread cos of my ranting.

Nah I have to do some work, but i totally agree with ya, I'm lucky cos my tastes are pretty cheezy so people tend to like what i play anyway. i have heaps of tracky choons they are more fun to mix together or run accapellas over to vibe them up but it is a choon by choon ting when buying

doubledown definately do it for me..

labels that really do it for me at the mo are-

Siesta
Maya
Doubledown
Shelter
Look At You

They've been doing it from the start with no sign
of letting up,
In fact the amount of offshoot labels from these
boys esp. the first three... fuck me !!

SWAG are v v tasty

Methinks mata you've known about these guys
for longer than 6 months.

DJ Sneak is v. tracky as is alot of Hipp-e and
H-Foundation. Peace Division too while we are
at it. 6400 crew had some dodgy ones.

Just buy a little bit of everything.. which doesn't
mean a bit of D & B and a bit of downbeat and
some cheesy house and some deep house
and some techno.
Buy some American house some french house
some belgium house.
italian house.
Swingin house
Jackin house
deep house
tech house
NY house
Tribal house

The selection is infinite and with the number of
records produced by all these guys you can pick
and choose what style you want to buy from
each of them as they are prolly experimenting
with there own production style




This complexity of this house business is sheer
mind-boggling. It is bigger than we will ever
know.
