It changes all the time but off the top of my head, right now, something like:

Glenn Wilson - always brilliantly produced, hard, dark & intelligent all at the same time
Tim Wright - nobody else sounds like him... genuine funk
Alex Calver - brings creativity & polish to the hard stuff
Julian Liberator - too often overlooked IMO, can mangle sound in the most beautifully awful ways
Dirty Bass - mainly because I'm currently listening to that Voidloss PA for the 3rd time today & it's grabbed me like nothing has in a good while!

[audioinjection]

elton d- the funkyness in his tracks
paul mac- the tribal rhythms and sweet melodies
hertz- funky driving stuff
surgeon- hard minimal :)
diego- he hasn't done much recently but i still love his tracks

carl craig is the man, i don't consider him "techno" producer though.

[Buttman]

Mike Parker


I recently discovered him.
Some real nice stuff but is it just me or are all the tracks made with the same 4 sounds?
Correct me if I am wrong.

[Smear]

Yeah he's sort of hit-and-miss and he's got a very narrow range, but it's pretty sophisticated and unique stuff.

He certainly likes his sawtooths and pitch envelopes though, haha.

[Buttman]

That track of his that you play in Toro D'Or is ACE. Will order it NOW.

[Smear]

Yeah it's a heaving shaft of a record. The other side's cool too, same vibe only electro. I'll need to get the Light and Dark one at some point.

No words are enough.

Surgeon

So consistent.

Henrik B

Perhaps not the guy in the forefront, braking musical boundaries, but his productions are always extremely well crafted.

Go Hiyama

Master of the dark, mechanic, destroy all humans, kinda sound. Makes me feel all warm and happy inside.

Slovakians

Rumenige, Loktibrada, Hu, Olga+Jozef, the Palicavonzvreca dudes basicly. Don't even know how many are actual persons and how many are just different aliases, oh well, I love them all.

[BRADLEE]

WJ Henze "way too many to list" He's really just the man, point blank....

The Brattice "Overdose" one of my all time favorite tunes....

Schall and Rausch "Anything from them" KD and Alex at their best.....

Invexis "Chiffre EP" Just has intoxicating sounds.....

Thomas Krome "Bitches from hell rework on Corb" That's all I need to say about that....Period....

yo mama's mama's mama
yo mama's mama's mama's mama

and

yo mama's mama's mama's mama's mama

[SlavikSvensk]

seriously...

who **** knows? many of my favorite records were made by people who's total output = that record or that record plus 2 or 3 other ones

cari lekebusch has done a lot of great stuff, but has put out some serious crap too. derrick may was great up until 1991 or whenever he stopped producing. so i don't know.

but teste "the wipe" is the greatest techno record of all time :)

[fatcollective]

really didn't realise so many of you were into that london/acid rubbish:laughing:


get back in the chill out room ya fvckin nerd!!!

[eyeswithoutaface]

Invexis rocks big time on some releases, the Flux double pack was just stunning in places, but last few bits i heard were going down the very substandard schranz route, not nice at all when he (or they?) have some incredible records, and im sure will again at some point

invexis had some bangers indeed.
the release on expanded was my fav probably. also the p-rhythm.
some of the production quality is just outright horrendous on their throw-away releases.
I always check for their stuff regardless.

[eyeswithoutaface]

yep mate agreed, i remember being really surprised and disapointed at those releases as they were so far short of their usual top standard it was just strange.

but agree i always check for the new stuff, Invexis doth rock

Tim Wright - For introducing me to bass heavy complex Techno with Fold, and everything since.
Technasia - For varied and excellent productions, and for Charles Siegling making singing in a dodgy french accent work, when it really shouldn't.
Boris S - For re-establishing my faith that Techno can be super hard and interesting.

[djfilthmonger]

Nah mate... have to correct you there as Frankie, un-beknownst to many, had a ghost producer, quite literally... His name was Harold Flange-ling, who's artist moniker was 'Grape Digger' and he copped it trying to hook his rig up to a dodgy 3-phase power link for a Cristingle Party in Stoke Newington couple o year back.... oh aye :coffee:
