This is what you call his signature sound. Hopefully he'll evolve and change styles. Just take a listen to Paul Van Dyk, he uses the same damn instruments in his music for a while now and nobody's bitching about that. That's because it's good music so enjoy for what it is.

Anyone remember Audioholics - External Key...This song also has the David West touch.

yea, his tracks are definitely easily recognizable. the percussion, bassline sounds, etc.

but in my opinion, they are all very well produced and sound great.

There are lots of threads with the same comments showed on this thread till now, like "all tracks sounds the same", so let me remember other artists to add to this David West thread:

thrillseekers
m.i.k.e.
airwave
paul van dyk
fred baker (with that snare-kick thing, sounding picotto or frank biazzi years ago)
andy moor

and the newcomers, i mean, more "popular" in the scene nowadays:
estuera
leon bolier
probspot
sander van doorn


by the way i like all above, i dont dislike noone, if i dont like the unique sound of an artist, i move on...
but thats personal oppinion, u can continue complaining about the "all tracks sounds the same" old history, its up to ya...

But as an individual producer I don't think he's established himself enough yet. He's doing that now with his remixes and productions, but he's only done a few remixes like his remix of "Time Goes By", "Sounds Rushing", "Eye Am" and his latest remix with Inkfish of "Eternity". But one thing to note is that his older productions like "Envy" and "Carrier" don't sound much like "Larry Mountains 54". I respect him as a producer, still curious to know more about him, but feel every producer, even if they have been at it for a while, still needs time to grow. Armin and Ferry are good examples of guys whose sound has progressed. Armin's is deeper and techier at times, and Ferry's established himself as having a sound that has electro influences, mixed with trance. So those who think David West's productions all sound the same, check out "Envy" and "Carrier" and get back with me as to what you think. Thanks.

yeah, I sort of agree. I enjoyed his Antiloop works a lot more than his new tracks (which are good too - like Larry Mountains 54 which is very well done).

but for people who doubt his production skills, check out older tracks like:

Antiloop - This is the night
Antiloop - Purpose in life
Antiloop - Signing off
Antiloop - Theme Of Antiloop (B&B Remix)

another bomb is Dallas Superstars - Fast Driving (Antiloop short m.o.n.s.t.e.r remix)

etc etc etc. The fact that I grew up with those tunes may have an influence on my opinion, but still I find those to be awesome pieces of EDM

I think he's already established himself enough with tracks like:

Pharmacy of Sound - Searching for Substrance
Synergy - Hello Strings (together with Andreas Hermansson)
Dominic Plaza - Sounds Rushing (remix)
Tilt - New Day (Remix)
Pete Lazonby - Sacred Cycles (Remix)
Larry Mountains 54 (together with Hermansson)

All big tracks.

and his remix with Inkfish of Matt Darey's Eternity is good too. And then there's Envy and Carrier and that Eye Am remix. Not all of those are released (yet) but the guy is pure quality. Best producer this year.

Just my opinion
