Certainly much credit to his attempts at putting further distance between him and "Dubfire of Deep Dish." But as others have more or less pointed out, his sound just further popularizes an already done-to-death style. His productions are by no means terrible, but I haven't found much that was particularly ingenious about them (though I admittedly haven't listened to as much of his stuff as I probably should have). He's not traveling down a road that a number of his peers haven't already been through, but it's probably just due to his status as "Dubfire" that welcomes him and his tracks into the popular fold. Aside from this, the way I feel about him is essentially the same as I felt about his GU: Generally flat, occasionally enjoyable, but not really warranting a second listen.

Also, this comment has really, really driven me nuts since I read it...

Originally from an interview with Lee Burridge
So, producers, I really like . . . Dubfire, one half of Deep Dish, is suddenly making really cool underground music. Deep Dish was very commercial for a while, but at the moment Dubfire is cool.
So he likes Dubfire, at least at the moment: no problem with that. He's simply saying that he thinks Dubfire is pretty cool right now, which stands in contrast to the sentiment that Syknonee outlined about him being the "newest, most MAXIMAL minimal producer on the planet right now." I actually rather like Lee's comments: "he's cool." Sounds okay to me.

I don't like it when I see some of my favorite DJ's "really like" shit producers and shit tracks.
This thread has as much value as a "What's-up-with-Britney?" discussion.

Now Dubfire is nothing special, but honestly have you ever actually listened to any of the sets you do? You drop more nuggets than any other TA dj I know and tracks that are loliliscious. AT leeast Burridge can make a decent transition.
*wait for rjt to write an essay about how much better his tastes are than everyone when he should really be spending that time learning to beatmatch.*

No essay m8. I don't make it a habit to worry too much when the alt's start crawling out of the woodwork
