No offence, but it's not that hard to stay consistent when you don't stray away from your formula, using same percussion, synths, structure, etc.

What I'd like to hear is something different, not just a bunch of songs that are the same with different hooks (they're good tracks nevertheless, but he's not going that extra mile).

One of the few new producers whose work I respect is Mark Otten. His tracks are unique and fresh, and most importantly, don't sound like clones of eachother.

I was going to say DJ Hyper but his mix of Pink's God is a dj was utter filth but he has completely over the top besides that

his mix of stupid
his mix of crush
his 2CD Wired
his singles
tour with crystal method

Hyper has had a tremendous year and it is only july!

I have to agree, alot of Probspot's tunes are very similar and consistant. Don't get me wrong, I love listening to his music, but something different would be nice.

some top tunes:
01. rico soarez aka probspot - foreplay
02. adam white & andy moor pres white room - white room original mix
03. rico soarez aka probspot - tv dinner
04. brian ono - an ending ascent leama & moor remix
05. audioholics - external key original mix

* come check out #asot on efnet

i think like any producer he keeps certain elemets to his tracks the same, and that keeps it as his style. but i really can't see how you can say foreplay, blueberry, TV dinner sound the same... yes i can identify it is a rico track, but that's it, i didnt know what to expext in terms of melody etc etc. i'm sure he will develop other alias's for other sorts of style's in the future anyway. I respect your opinions none the less thoug, each to their own!

EDIT: look at the likes of markus schulz, all his coldharbour material is very alike, and althoug now im starting to get a little sick of it, each track is sculptured individually, i dont think it would be fair to say he re-uses chunks over and over though. however i have seen enough of this style for the time being. i couldnt have all the coldharbour remixes on repeat!

The difference being that Markus does not use the same bassline in every track, the same drums, the same snares, etc.

There are ofcourse elements in each producers' track that marks it as their own, but when you start regurgitating the same elements over and over, it becomes a little tiring, IMO.

Just look at some other well known artists out there, Armin, Ferry, Tiesto, each has their own flavour, but the works aren't necessarily copies of the one before it.

Luke Chable's had a nice year, but he did last year too.

I love Melburn, though - it's an awesome track

And his remix of Gwill Morris' Time is great

hyper has a nice running for what person that is gonna have the main focus this year, but, i do think tho that title is like set & fit for leama & moor, these guys have spitten out quality all this year, and they still haven't released shades or red/shades of blue yet
