benga.

his tunes are so well made and have so many aspects to them plus when
im listening to sets and hear a heavy tune i dont know it normally always
turns out to be benga. he just has ridiculous consistency.

mala as well for similar reasons.

Tes La Rok is making sum belters at the moment as well.

Mala, Geiom, Forensix, Jack Sparrow, Ramadanman, Burial, Kode 9, Loefah, Slaughter Mob, El-B and the Ghost team, Benny Ill and the Horsepower crew.

Special mentions for Parson - good variety of styles and far more experimental than most dubstep producers, really pushing the boundaries; Threnody for some quality engineering and dark soundscape business (these would make amazing soundtrack material - really evocative);and Metalboxproducts for that wayward lurchstep and injecting some humour into an often po-faced genre :wink:

I've probably forgotten a few so I'll add them as I remember them. To be honest though, there's a whole load of producers that do a few good tunes then a few ok-ish ones so I'd rather big up the most consistent studioheads.

And really we're talking about the best composers not producers here aren't we - good production in itself isn't something that makes me buy records
Hmm....

Thinking about this the other day. Production is just one element of a track isn't. I've heard bare tracks that would be slayed for crap production but, the actual track it's self is really good. I don't really subscribe to the idea of good production = good track. More often than not, tracks that just rely on good produced tend to leave me a little cold.

Lets face it. The mid 70's was over populated with music that was "well produced" and the vast majority of it was the most tedious, po faced shit you could ever listen to.

yeh alot of the top dubstep producers' work are actually good pieces of music in their own right, not just something confined to the dance floor... thats whats so good about the sound, it can be put into lots of different contexts, even after the teenage clubbing years lol

Bruv, don't you mean the mid 80's music with its BIG reverb on the snares and toms was over produced. The mid 70's (IMO) is like the goldern age of music with all that amazing underground funk, great pop and who can forget all that classic American soul?

Clarify me mate.
:D
have you got anything a bit more deep and spacey please...?

Yep the 80's was the really shit bit for over-production. Remember there was a Def Leppard album where the producer insisted they played each note in a chord individually and then double track that.

Still sounded shite obviously being Def Leppard
Hmm....

I suppose mid 70's through to the mid 80's yes. But it started with the like of Fleetwood mac, Floyd, E,L,P, Genusis the whole Prog rock gang who forgot about music and just liked to twiddle an album out. Not included in this list are CAN who did the same studio twiddle but still made hard tracks.
