Who makes the highest quality tracks, in your opinion?

and why?

recently V.I.V.E.K so clean, each beat is unique- the usual with most good producers out there! Big up hessle!

on your mix- what's the first track, with "rain comes out when the sun is shining?"

Joker is king of the synth, Mensah has been tearing it up lately and has proved he has massive versatility, and no-one can make filth sound like numbernin6. Flux's mixes blow me away all the time, but with that much money behind him, I doubt he is the only sound engineer to touch his tracks.

Of the unsigned, P0gman never ceases to amaze, and I'm hiding a few tricks up my sleeve that I think people will really appreciate.

Kode 9 >>> percussion, synth, bass and vocals all on point

Pinch, that man has such talent

Boxcutter and James Blake's production skills are immense.

Fat Freddy's Drop- Cay's Cray (Digital Mystikz Remix)

Mount Kimbie just for taking the sound to really interesting levels
Kode 9 for everything else

Eskmo
Starkey
Jakes
Venetian Snares
Si Begg
Ebola
Scorn
Broken Note
Loops Haunt

This list could go on for days and I wouldn't have the same reason twice for any of them...

Eskmo for me... seriously impressive stuff

and I have to say Jack Beats for their knowledge of synthesis and they still have some stuff in their tracks which I have absolutely no idea how they do it

a bit cliche but I definitely gotta go with Burial. his productions are just out of this world. he can just take a simple sample, make a simple little loop with it but you can just drown in the tune and keep exploring new stuff. he got those off beat hihats that can make you nervous at times, and then those deep basslines that you can barely hear. sometimes it feels like the tune is made exclusively for you and like the tune is actually talking to you (if that makes any sense). other Burial fans will probably get what I'm trying to say

SKRILLEX

got a few lol:
pearson sound/ramadanman - percussion (work them, blimey, grab somebody, glut ), amazing production values, can do so many different styles effortlessly
in fact add all the hessle artists to that particularly untold, joe and blawan for similar reasons
shackleton - percussion again and unique sound - not even really dubstep but gets lumped in with it, skull disco is such a pivotal label
appleblim - underrated, great collabs and solo stuff, loads of styles again, apple pips and skull disco are immense labels
skream - IMHO his early stuff is undeniably THE archetypical dubstep for me, more than even DMZ who I also love, even his new album whilst a lot more poppy i can still enjoy
bok bok - citizens dub , all his stuffs great on nightslugs, funky plus house plus dubstep
martyn - love the detroit techno and house influences added to dubstep, all i have is memories and vancouver are probably my two of my fave tracks from the scene and really helped me dig further.
i also like most of the producers already mentioned (pinch, mt kimbie, burial etc.)

It was bound to happen

does anyone happen to know what programs the heavyweights with money to spend use? like, what's the ultimate dubstep production set up in terms of hardware and software?
