My Nomination For Producer Of The Year 2012
Unless someone else has a breakout year, I'm going with Avatism as my #1 draft pick for 2012.
Why I like his music so much: He's not exactly in techno, house, or minimal. He's somehow straddling all 3. He's using a different percussion palette than most modern producers who make this type of music. Drums that sound like they came from a real drum set. His tracks move and change in the way that you want them to. You can long mix the shit out of his music and play his tracks into one another for hours. Its mesmerizing. I saw him live in a church and he murdered everyone in the place at like 117bpm. The view count on last video I posted below is 713,000. That's fucking incredible for someone in as small of a niche as he is.

Demo Mix2: http://soundcloud.com/avatism/avatism-live-oct-2012
His most legit tracks (IMO):
That's right. A church.
that first one is dark as fuck

Mark I'm surprised you didn't nominate Joey Anderson. You are familiar with his work right?

Oh come on, he released two whole EPs this year. IMO to qualify as producer of the year you have to be all over the place.
But since I can't think of anyone with a huge amount of output this year I'll nominate ACR. He had that that ridiculous remix of that Dettmann track earlier this year and just dropped two (yes, two) absolute killer EPs on MDR at once.
Who Joey? He appeared on a number of VA releases as well. Unless you were referring to Avatism.
But yea ACR is a good pick. Also I'd say Bleak but I think I nominated him last year. Rivet's been really good. Markus Suckut has been around for a few years but really cemented his status in 2012. There's also some Romanian producers like Cristi Cons and TC Studio that did some really nice stuff this year.
Actually, one of my nominations has to be Xosar. Also for hottest female producer.
I agree that in the industrial sweaty dark techno realm, Answer Code Request is something special. I have to give this EP a 5/5

Bro I phucking love Avatism. Favorite track is "Follow Through". Superbly deep techno!! Anyways, producer of 2012 is a tuff one.. Im all over the scene here goes nothing.. Nicole Moudaber ? Gary Beck ? Forrest. ? W&W ? Orjan Nilsen ? Headhunterz ? S.P.Y. ? Bcee ? LOUDPVCK ?
i like him but i find you should be somewhat cutting edge when being considered for producer of the year. From the tracks you listed, as cool as they are, they all could of been made 5 years ago. Anyways.
What about Jimmy Edgar? I've only seen his name around recently and he seems to be getting a lot of attention.
Avatism does it again with his October 2012 Promo Mix. This is really nasty.
Rrose.

From Avatism:
"around 40:00 it is my upcoming remix for Spitzer - Clunker, which should be out in December/January on InFin� and will definitely be on vinyl."
He mentioned vinyl because I asked if it would be
