There have been an awful lot of idiotic comments on this post. Firstly, why are people comparing Guy J with Gerber? They may have the same first name and both be from Israel but the music they produce and play are worlds apart in terms of style. Also comparing Guy J to Chaim is just as ridiculous. Nationality is not a basis for comparison so please stop with these stupid comparisons.
Secondly, Guy J does not owe his career to John Digweed. For anyone who actually follows progressive music, they would have known that Guy J was one of the few producers being labelled as the next big thing...at least 2 years before Digweed signed him. He had already released tracks on Tiga's Turbo, Azuli, Global Underground, Proton etc...so to say that Digweed made his career is a bit unfair.
As a promoter here in Dublin, we brought Guy over to Dublin back in April. He played all his own material and he was excellent. His production skills are so good that he had enough material to vary between deep/warm up style prog to driving tech house and techno and then to big room, epic style prog without ever sounding forced or cheesey.
As albums go, I think that Esperanza was easily one the best electronic music albums of the year, if not the best. Tracks wise, I can pick out so many productions that I love...Agent Blue, Save Me, Night Loss, Been Here Before, most of his recent stuff....one of my favourites though is his remix of Trafik - Find Me....8 minutes of unbelievable music.
