Always difficult to be sure you have a common understanding of other peoples terms but may I recommend the following. Samuel L Sessions (particulary on Cycle 4-7[swe]). This guy is blowing up massive atm. G-Man (Varley) particular with Marco Carola on the mix. Stanny Franssen (particularly as G-Force) Q-Men (Cerrone) particularly on RILIS. UMEK (particularly on tortured & CLS) All the above meets your criteria as I read it. The post purposemaker busy, clattering, poly-rythmic with something (usually more than one) right across the frequency spectrum was big last year. On a more laid back houseTech tip try Marco Carola, particularly on Question & stuff on Tronic (swe). For something similar but more fiery and urgent try Geatek particularly on his ART label, Adam Beyer recent offering (no really) on Geateks Conform label, stuff on Design. There is also an American guy on a similar style, maybe a bit harder and abrasive, Fanon Flowers. His winter in Kalamazoo on Sonic Mind last year was a revelation. Mills has also dug out some wonderful thundering gear in France last month. St Val & Urban Bushmen remixes spring to mind. btw the latest thing to catch peoples ears now the deep and dark tribal purcussive loops have become (over) common is a style of Latin or samba techno. Works exceptionally well on the 'floor. Still looking for the source of this ...... Hope that helps. &E Fox uve I __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
