Who do you...

.... regard as being 'sh!t hot' when it comes to making dance music?

The two people that always confuse me in ways of production are:

oliver hacke
john tejada

Top marks for the both of them i say

[Farabee]

Tejada's stuff is really simple, but very well done always. Some of his synth patches make me scratch my head sometimes. His output level is insane though...I don't think I could ever put out that much stuff with that much consistancy.

Other guys who are doing it for me right now:

Dan Berkson
Par Grindvik
Luca Bacchetti
Matthias Tanzmann

Basically anyone who can throw in the housey flavor while maintaining solid techno foundations.

Stephan Bodzin
Marc Romboy
Ellen Allien and all the BPitch Control Artists

[-rAz-]

Paul Kalkbrenner
Wighnomy Brothers

those are my favs at the moment

M.Tanzmann is another one, he's a proper badboy when it comes to making tunes. Havent really been too keen on tejada's latest stuff, but a few tracks that i still play now are the following:

Toiling of idle hands - his album
remix on it is was it is from a few years back
his remix for trapez of subject carrier

He also done this great remix on compost, the artist was called rima i do believe.

SCSI9 are another great pair of producers.

[Zinthek]

Elektrabel & Sleeparchive.

They have yet to release something I don't like.

Production/technical-wise, you mean?

Well for that matter, I'm not easily impressed.

I think Daft Punk have the most killer "sound"...
