thanx for the nice words! but actually we're a duo we've also released this record in 2010 on dubsquare records. there should be the one or the other record available in the stores if you're interested...
Nice ! Gonna check this out definetely, thanks for the heads up ...
PS : With such a name I thought you were one guy ... (El Rakkas meaning the dancer in arabic) ... my bad. Keep up the good work folks you're doing fine, better be underrated than overrated imo.

underrated to me means someone who is good enough to be rated and hasn't been fully acknowledged as such, hasn't gotten enough credit where their credit is due, or credit has been given but forgotten maybe even someone who is under the radar...
even after so many names have already mentioned my list can probably go on and on, but it's good to know there's underground producers out there making music they love and aren't in it only for the ratings. also, who are pushing boundaries in a sense and not just settling for the same old sound in their arsenal.
imo, these guys produce tracks that thump as much as the rest...

Without a shadow of a doubt.... CYRUS!
The guy is a true originator and makes some of the most heavy weight tune's about and just seem's to get properly slept on.
also, thanks to the couple of guy's shouting me out. really appreciate that your feeling the tunes.

I got an account just to mention:
South3rn!
Heard him on LoDubs a while back and haven't stopped listening.
LoDubs' collection as a whole is quite underrated now that I think about it... but fucking great.

Eskmo. Why no huge fanfare over this guy?
LebelgeElectrod and Ganja White Night... its sad that my main alias has more releases then these guys, and that most of the kids hit me up on aim have no clue who they are. Only people balancing bro'd up energy with truly beautiful production values, theory, and sound design.
Jakes. WTF. Modems a choon. never hear much from him anymore.
whyrez, legend4ry, jfk, gnome, phrex, de-real, qwaycee, deadly habit, cogidubnus, triggy, j-one, kochari, dub fiend, ect. to biggup the aim list, as a mandatory.
Oh and uh... Basic A.'s alright too... lmfao.
shit's hot.
but eskmo gets too much love in the circle i roll in. his self-titled album is garbage and the 3 times i've seen his act live it's been pretty lackluster. his other act welder gets a lot of love too.
and martyn underrated?? i'm shocked at that mentioning of that name in an underrated thread. back before his fabric release dropped that's all i heard about. that's like saying shackleton is underrated.

forensics had a really strong presence on the forum up until about a year ago. he has a new project now writing tunes at '111'. you probably already know this.

Raffertie's new stuff sounds NOTHING like that. He's really switched up his style, makes really incredible 130ish stuff now. Check his EE mix from August, it's rather incredible. His synth work is brilliant. He's cut the midrange out almost entirely, but kept up his rather mental style.
Also, adding to the thread, Hyetal. Phoenix and Pixel Rainbow Sequence are some of the best songs I've ever heard in the genre. The guy is a total don. Incredible DJ too.

Aww, thanks guys!
Mr Garfield - I'm taking a little break from 111 at the moment actually, these things seem to come in cycles for me. Got a few new dubstep tracks almost ready/ off for mastering. One called 'Legion', and some collaboration tracks. Probably won't be uploading anything until the new year now, but anyway....
Thanks to everyone showing me support here/ in general at the moment, it's massively appreciated. Feel like 2011's going to be a good year : )
