Starkey is the best producer.......

[nykx17]

in North America hands down and is definitely in the top 5 in the world. No one matches his complexity of production and I'd like to know who you think is a better sound designer right now.

[Pistonsbeneath]

starkey is wicked and i love his music but kryptic minds & gravious are light years ahead for me..

bit shit for starkey a thread like this though

[Over7hink]

Time Traveller is a personal favourite.

[SickMan D]

Millenia.

[hackman]

gutter music was THE tune of 2008

[fractal]

gutter music was THE tune of 2008

true that



and for the record, the starkbot definitely holds his own next to kryptic and gravious

[wayoftheworld]

much respect

[bagelator]

gravious is from scotland

[prisoner]

easily my favorite stateside producer, his output is pretty fantastic and he's done very few tunes that I'm not into.

a lot of the guys from san fran are fantastic as well, DJG & Juswan specifically.

[Pistonsbeneath]

gravious is from scotland

didnt see the next bit

yeah u.s wise he is the best i'd say...babylon system shevil is awesome though

[jackbass]

starkbot has been putting out good music since the beginning. big ups to you, the mayor of starkville.

[kid simple]

Dude kills it on pretty much every production. Big up starkbot!

[ELLFIVEDEE]

Yeah on of my favourites Stateside as well.

As well as DZ for me too, making some real nice bits at the moment!

[dickman69]

Gutter Music VIP probably my favorite song ever made, so much complexity

[evil madmen]

Noah D, Djunya and DJG are pretty solid too, on a different tip though.

[mc wayne]

he is very good

haven't heard any of his tunes tho

[bagelator]

gravious is from scotland

didnt see the next bit

yeah u.s wise he is the best i'd say...babylon system shevil is awesome though

yeah thumbs down to threads that don't finish the title.

starkey is wicked, but..

stupid thread is stupid.

there are loads of wicked producers stateside. starkey does big music, but it's not a competition kids.

as mentioned djunya, matty g, parson, dz, and i'm sure there's shit tons of others that are moving.

Flying Lotus smashs all

[kaiservorhaut]

Flying Lotus smashs all

seen him a few times...was good...just couldn't get into it really.

starkey is wicked and i love his music but kryptic minds & gravious are light years ahead for me..

bit shit for starkey a thread like this though

and kryptic minds? really?! better technical producers than pj? nah nah nah, not in a million years. there's nothing innovative about any km stuff i've heard. it's just a refinement of stuff that's already out there.

check out starkey's orchestral stuff, as well as the fact that he teaches production, masters his own stuff properly etc etc etc... pj has been around for donkeys years and his material is laced with all the qualities of someone who has a very deep understanding of music.

new album is really top notch though. pleasure points is the standout one for me. although i'm always going to be biased. to play devils advocate, i'd say some of the other stuff from this year that isn't on the album is perhaps quite samey and kind of what youd expect, particularly the remixes (apart from the innerpartysystem remix which is just ridiculous). but once you carve out a sound for yourself, that's always going to happen... worked for joker!

to clarify though, i think there are almost definitely a heap of better sound designers out there in the world... it's just hard to compare them unless they're making the same music.

[abs]

deffinately one of the best, but i haven't really enjoyed anything by him since his album came out.
