I can see where this thread is going to become a debate on how swedish techno sucks or not...but I hope it stays as positive as possible.

First off, I feel the success and quality of the music driven by the producers sticking together. Take the current crop of swedish producers, a lot of them are close friends. These guys can stick together and push each other further and further. They help each other out, give each other tips, etc. The same thing has also happened with the italians. I think the reason they are so successful is that they stick together and push each other.

I am a fan of the swedish sound, and theres quite a few producers coming up who are great.

Among others who deserve to be listed are grovskopa and archae, hertz, per mikael, mhonolink, and so many more.

I heard they actually give students a crash course on midi music in school, can anyone verify that this is true? No matter the case...sure its drummy music, sure its repetitive, sure its moody, synthy, whatever...but I totally dig it.
