from what i've seen on here you seem to really like his stuff, what's the difference?
you can see similarities in all 3, but they are all distinctly different, and awesome!
I can see the similarities in all three. Fiend is obviously influenced by Burial, but he's taken that influence and made his own sound out of it. It has 2-step beats, pitched vocals and ambient soundscapes, but I can tell a Fiend tune when I hear it. There's something in it.
Synkro, if you didn't put his name on it, could be any youtube producer.
if the argument is about soundin like burial listen to the Box Clever 10" that he put out and see how his style has progressed, and tbh i always thought synkro sounded more housey/trancey than garagey...
tbh, im not even a massive fan of his tunes, i do think they're a bit samey, but i think that saying 'this is guy isn't all that cos he sounds like this other guy' is just pretentious crap
an artist might make a tune that sounds like another artist but if its a good tune then thats what it is, its a whole load of other stuff that means when you hear a tune and say 'i like this tune because it sounds like it was made by producer x' then when you find out its by 'producer y' you say... 'oh i dont like it anymore'
the point is that it annoys me when people dismiss music cos it has a sound you associate with another artist, not just because you dont like the tune in the first place
