I dig Roadkill, not so much Ribcage.

Seriously though, playa has a special place in my heart for digging deep into the dirty, nasty cavernous depths of the 80s to remix that Nitzer Ebb track.

Hmm as far as productions go I've been really loving stuff by James Harcourt, Shiloh, Roman Salzger, and Pryda this year. Those would be any of my nominations.

The actual analog sound I'd agree, but the tune itself is something else, this sounds lame (and you could say this about every track really) but it takes on another level of greatness in a club... listen to the buzz in the crowd after the breakdown hits, brilliant! I love how it whips you into a frenzy...

I would have to strongly disagree with you on this one. I can't help but think that you're getting caught up on the main melody (which does resemble the popular electro sound in a way) and not listening to just how well this track is put together. As Jon has said, the club takes this track to a whole other level, and the same can be said for all of Dubfire's recent productions. Hearing Transit Time and Ribcage in a club make your face feel like it's going to melt off.

The one thing that I have noticed about all of the recent stuff Dubfire has been doing is that he's making his listeners work and put some effort into figuring out exactly what he's trying to do. He is not creating songs that you can just have on and enjoy, to truly appreciate what he's doing you have to listen with a relatively attent ear. He has said in multiple interviews that he likes to challenge his listeners and make them work to get into what he's doing. Personally speaking, I was not the biggest fan of Ribcage and Transit time when I first heard them but the more I listened to them the more I began to appreciate just how well put together and intricate the songs are. Simply put, they're brilliant in more ways than one. Dubfire is definately pushing the boundries right now and I don't think there are many counter arguments that can go against this. These tunes are definately quite unique and in a league of their own.

(The "Tunes" that i'm referencing are Ribcage, Roadkill, his remix of Transit Time, and his remix of Float Away)

I haven't listened to these two, only roadkill, so I won't disagree with you yet

I find it very, very rare these days to consider tracks in a "league of their own" (in fact I can't remember the last time I heard and listened to a track in its entireity and continued to think it was "special" for more than a month or so.)
