A thread in production got me thinking, what is going to be the sound of 04 ?

What are some tracks came out last year that represent the kind of sound that is going to be really popular in 04 ?

To start it off i say that "Dirt Devils - Music is life" is a prime example.

what do you think, we would love to know your prediction for this year.

First of all it is Dirt Devils not Above & Beyond. Though the guys are the same...

Listen to Luke Chable, you'll get a good idea of what 2004 is going to be like.

Also:
Junior Jack - Da Hype
Filterheadz - Yimanya

I hope it's not that electro-trance sound, I really REALLY don't like it

Prog wise u are quite correct but on the trance tip I think it would flow towards the Mike Koglin and Jono Grant style..

I second the above ^^^^

Robert Nickson, Phynn, C-Quence..

Koglin has been in the scene for quite some time now, his sound has been used for years.

Koglin redid Silence in 1998 and Jonathan Grant (or Jono, as he calls himself now) is one-third of Above & Beyond (and their various aliases).

IE - both have been a part of the scene for some time.

Recluse, Solid Globe, Ocatgen... without question.

If what Chable sounds like nowadays is the sound of 2004, I might as well start my hibernation period right now.

you better start then because Chablesound is getting hotter every minute

my predictions for 2004:

prog area: sasha's new mixcd for GU will probably be the highlight of the year. If they release a unmixed vinyl shortly after the CD release then I bet these tracks will be in everyones playlist in the summer.
I would also place my bets on the Filterheadz sound

prog'n'breaks: As I've already told: Luke Chable will own everybody in 2004. I hope that he manages to keep up the quality of his tracks & remixes. This, however, cannot be done at the quantity of work he is giving out at the moment. So the only way to go for him would be to produce a little less so that he wouldn't give out all his ideas in just one year.
Hyper: Having just released the WIRED MixCD & numerous remixes (for PvD & Sarah McLachlan for example) I think his hard-to-describe sound will get big this year.
Wrecked Angle: Remixes for Pete Gawtry, Chakra, Age of Love have proved that this duo has great potential for future releases.

Trance: Its the hardest to predict actually due to the high amount of releases coming out its hard to pick one.. Im sure that Above&Beyond sound will get VERY big (although it already is). With Oceanlab - Sattellite coming out everywhere its bound to reach high positions in charts. So watch out for future anjunabeats releases.
Also I would keep an eye on the all the new producers out there.. Envio, Fictivision, Robert Nickson, Mike Foyle, Octagen & Arizona, Haak, Passiva + many others since innovation nowadays comes from the younger heads since more popular djs have to make music that would appeal to as much people as possible.
