I'm not talking about just "exclusive" stuff like the Breeder tracks, but the fact that S&D would get promos mailed to them first, plus they could likely have people helping them sort out the gems from all the junk or mediocre tracks. Most DJs didn't have either of those advantages.

By the way, I haven't really followed Sasha and Digweed for a while and have little clue what they play anymore -- what are they playing anyway? -- so it's not like I have some big stake in the outcome of this argument.

Originally posted by Clovis That may be what you think but that is not the opinion of a lot of people who are IMO playing much better music than them. Like who? Do you realize how absurd this claim is?

Like pretty much every producer that aims to have their tracks played by Digweed or Sasha, some dont fit the bill because S&D go outside of their standard sound and throw in some diverse tracks. But once S&D establish a sound they are playing for a time period, for however long that sound lasts, many producers take note and mold their sound to fit it. Where do you think movements in sound are born and sustained?

Producer's dont innovate a sound with every track they make, they listen to what their favorite DJ's are playing, and gravitate to that sound and cater their own sound around the DJ's they'd like to get play/support from. Because they know if they make music for Digweed or Sasha, there is a huge following of DJ's that will also pick up on their music.

Of course Digweed & Sasha arent the only ones that push producers, but they are two of the main inspirations for the direction many producers take their own sound. There are also producer's who produce music for a Club they frequent when they aren't shaping it towards the DJ's.

Is anybody else LOL'ing hard at this load of complete made up bullshit?

Wow, you really have no idea how a majority of EDM producers make their music and why they do.

That might be true of mp3 kids and bedroom DJs, but the majority of good DJs on the circuit right now could give two fucks about what Sasha & Digweed are playing.

I think he's referring to the fact that it was before the internet was what is today, and before the days of digital downloads and online record shops. So really, DJs from the UK (where most, if not all that music was coming from) had access to the distributors in the UK before the US shops and other global shops got their hands on them.

Actually I do, there are producers that don't create music catered towards certain DJ's, they are usually the ones who are making albums, usually having their own theme/vision. Even Hip Hop producers cater their music around rappers they envision their tracks would sound good around.

Producers who make music made to tear up the clubs, cater their music around the sound that their choice DJ's are playing. And S&D are two DJ's a lot of producers aim their tracks for. Sure there are other DJ's, but again producers craft their music around those DJ's sound. Haven't you noticed the growing trend of tracks like the ones Dubfire plays these days? That pulsating wobbly bass, high frequency noise sounds that bend up along with pads and synths, with stripped down beats after peaks, followed by ducking/sidechained rides and hi hats.

You probably dont produce music for clubs, so I don't think you have an idea, so im not going to ridicule you for being ignorant. Ask producers you know, and ask them if a certain DJ's overall sound inspires them in the music they make. Other inspirations can be a specific track or genre, but if they are producer's who actually keep up to date with the current music movements then they are very likely to be influenced by a Sasha or a Digweed or a Howells, or any other influential DJ's sound.
