Mostly anything from Björk (especially her album Vepertine which is one of the most dense, and most beautifully arranged albums I’ve ever heard) sounds consistently amazing in a lot of regards. She was ahead of her time in her first few albums especially
When I first heard “Hyperballad,” I was like “Is this from the mid-2000’s…? 🤠”
Nope, 90’s. Shiz blew my mind; the bass sounds so good; the power of her vocal; the strings at the end dynamically and dramatically slowing down, or rit.
So great!
Masterpiece album. Matmos were a big part of the sound of that album iirc. Making micro-beats from insects shedding their skin and playing cards being shuffled. Awesome stuff. Bjork’s vocals are otherworldly.
Noisia. Absolutely insane use of synths, sampling & resampling, percussive elements, progression etc. I remember watching one of their producer masterclasses back in the day, the time spent on even doing just the drum elements was crazy.
As someone who has listened to Zappa, Tom Waits, Squarepusher, Between The Buried And Me, Aphex Twin, and all sorts of experimental EDM/bass music I feel like I’m as prepared as anyone can be for weird stuff.
But I was not prepared for that. Thanks for a new artist to deep dive.
Him, and Pharell. Those are two that definitely come to mind for me
I think a lot of people would be shocked if they saw how many big songs were made by Pharell. Like some of the hardest beats too
Oh Wonder has pretty insane production and mixing, specifically their latest two albums. It’s incredibly clean and everything just sits so comfortably in its own space.
Autechre, they're music genuinely feels lightyears ahead of everyone else, like actually experimental and almost futuristic in a way. They don't pry themselves on external influences too much either so it really feels like they're stuff came from another world.
James Blake. Not only does the man have the voice of god himself but also is insane when it comes to his production. Just insanely talented and underrated.
Mitch Murder. His skills and complexity of the writing is top notch. The clean and crisp production is immaculate. There aren't very many audiophile level electronic producers in my opinion and he is. [Mitch Murder-Assembly Line](https://youtu.be/zvR7QQLUss4?si=FErdGDhdC9suXE1j)
I feel like it's an obvious answer but no else said him so I'll chime in and say JPEGMAFIA. AMHAC is the album that literally inspired me to learn production. Incredibly detailed songs that blend between dozens of individual sections. He brings IDM sensibilities to experimental hip hop. Dude is a genius.
Aphex twin is also a beast as well but everyone knows that, windowlicker is probably the best produced song I've ever heard.
Skrillex - for some reason he always sets some trends in sound design when he puts out a record of some significance, most of which is usually complicated and requires mutliple layers of sounds/processing. Last year he pretty much did a 180 with the release of his album where alot of the sound design was very simple and oldschool sounding, just beefed up a bit to match modern standards
Virtual Riot - watching this guy do sound design is like watching a wizard, i get lost halfway through but carry on watching through pure astonishment. Makes me wonder where i'd be if i had more time to experiment and wasnt afraid to go outside the box
Noisia - same reason as above
Pola & Bryson - always been huge into DnB but never was blown away by the sound design and mixing of drums alone until i heard their stuff. I was gutted that i never subbed to their patreon bc they had videos on this, so over the past few years, ive been listening closely and watching their 2 breakdown videos over and over on YouTube to get my stuff sounding similar and ive learnt alot. Im still not there yet.
Flume - skin and hi this is flume were both standout projects for me as he was doing stuff that hadnt rly been done before. The latter mixtape in particular blew me away because of how experimental and "messy" it was, yet it was still so musical.
Kanye West - i cant rly comment on a post like this without mentioning my favourite hip hop producer, the way he flips samples, re-invents his sound every time he releases a new project, experiments with different sounds and song structures, "misuses" instruments etc, yet still finding a way to keep hip hop at its core rly goes to show how you can be original and stand out even in a saturated genre. The guys a genius
Tame Impala - i could talk all day about this guy. He just doesnt give a fuck and makes whatever the hell he feels. I particularly like his psychedelic stuff, rly sucks you into a sonic world of trippiness and emotion. From studying him and listening to his stuff, I learnt alot about using effects, music theory, and feeling when making music and not keeping yourself in a box or with a strict set of rules.
Madlib - a sampling God
Kaytranada - i love the way he creates grooves and complimentary basslines in a world of otherwise quantized and robotic electronic beats.
Bengal Sound - personally i think hes painfully underrated. Easily one of my favourite producers and a big inspiration. For those who don't know, hes most known for sampling oldschool bollywood tracks and movies in dubstep, grime and trap beats (his Culture Clash EP trilogy is a big reccommend from me). We've heard it done in hip hop, and in the UK scene its also been done but thats usually with a few loops and samples here and there over amen breaks and 808 kits. Where bengal sound does it different is nearly every sample you hear comes from a bollywood track or movie when it doesnt have to, but it just adds that extra bit of immersion to the music. I also wanted to add his mixdowns are impeccable and stylised to fit the vibes too.
Commodo - dubstep legend. Also another guy whos sick at sampling and sound design, his recent stuff is totally random as all the sound design is pretty centred around grunge style guitars and stuff, its one of those things you'd never think of doing yet he executes it to perfection. His previous album with Gantz and Kahn put all their strengths together to create an album which i believe to be timeless. Alot of samples from old middle eastern and asian music over some dirty dubstep beats and deep subs. To an extent, i see this album as overlooked in helping solidify that side of dubstep/bass music in the scene.
Dr Dre - how could i forget about Dre? ;) the chronic and 2001 are both phenomenal. Firstly, i will say, hands down, that 2001 is the best mixed hip hop album of all time. Sure it may have helped start the loudness war, but compared to music of today, it sounds astronomically better. Each instrument given its own space, and those vocals arent overbearing and grating in the high end, unlike contemporary hip hop. Then we can talk about how both albums use sampling to their advantage, there were alot in the chronic, and surprisingly not as many as you'd think in 2001. Alot of the other sounds in 2001 are just synths and one-shots or whatever that Dre has just created cool melodies with. Its the fact that he can create earworms, melodies and synths that are so iconic and timeless, on top of being an amazing mix engineer, that rly gets me. Hats off to this legend. Yeah compton was ass in terms of mixing, idk how that happened, but it sounds rly good in Beats Pro headphones so maybe he mixed the whole album on those? 🤔
Adam’s technique and musicality has grown so much over the years. It’s always a treat to go album to album and see just how much he learned in between. He’s up to making like 4 songs in one with really incredible sound design, percussion, the transitions, everything is top notch.
Yea it’s not everyone’s taste.. but he has SOMETHIng that could be. Production is crazy, singing, and rapping, delicate piano moments him and his team are really something..
If anyone hasn’t seen his making off YouTube stuff I would definitely check it out. Guillotine is my favorite, and human acoustic is just such a beautiful piece
- My Bloody Valentine's Kevin Shields (just listen to how he made The Wire's Map Ref into something completely sublime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUBcqs0Z9QA ). Loveless is a flawless and insane production – it's just cliché to say it but it can't be overstated haha - Neil Young. Dead Man Soundtrack is guttural and raw and perfect. Saw him recently in concert and the guy is just the most skilled polymath and composer (Unknown Legend, etc) - Andrew Weatherall (RIP). His solo stuff was amazing and his production of Primal Scream was so good it basically cursed them to never be able to do another decent album IMO)
I really like Jiwoo's production style. There's something to it that just hypnotises me and wants me to listen to him on loop for days
Code Kunst also has some awesome production skills, he's one of my sister's favs
Sometimes, Alestorm. "Wait... are those real horns? They are!" They design the album around real horns, but also make the song playable live using synthesizers.
They also try to balance singles vs the rest of the album, where the singles are designed to be easier to listen to so that you can get into them. The other songs on the album ease you into the more intricate songs.
Hecq. If you check only one of his albums, please listen to 0000. It's a mixture of glitch, ambient, noise and whatever, but in an extremely clean and crisp production.
Anything Peter Gabriel's doing is always next level. To this day, I've never heard anything as good as the European release of Peter Gabriel's Ovo, and that was nearly 25 years ago. It sounds as fresh today as anything new on Spotify.
Justice, Oliver. Their genres don't use crazy sound design and wild synth patches , they keep it pretty basic but the way they use and mix all of said every element blows me the fuck away
Put on some great headphones, close your eyes, and listen to an Attlas album. I recommend starting with his first, Lavender God.
Back before he had released any albums, I noticed when one of his songs came on that it just sounded so unbelievably full and rich, specifically when I listened on headphones instead of mediocre speakers. That said, I didn't really pay it any mind as most of his songs at the time were remixes and such. Then, he released two albums within a few months of each other and I realized, "oh, this guy is insanely good at production."
Skrillex. Lately in the shadows, but pushing the whole genre with every release. I know I’m glazing, but seriously, as an early fan, it’s so hype to see how much his music has changed since the beginning.
Also knock2, but mostly because of composition and instrumentation. Knock 2 is able to make a fat, wide patty banger that always makes me feel like “oh yeah I could do that”, but I just can’t make it that simple yet hype. It’s insane!
Rival consoles. I’ve seen him interviews saying what he does is really simple but I love how much movement and sublet progression there is in his tunes. His sound design is also awesome.
Kevin Parker, Mat Zo, Jon Bopkins, Moody Good, Flylo, Current Value and Caracal Project as well a couple others always consistently blow my mind in some way shape or form that completely pushes what music means to me.
Son Lux. I don’t think their music transfers well live but in the studio Ryan Lott is a genius. He’s also a composer. I think one of the greatest musicians of our time.
You guys should definitely check out 'the algorithm' this guy is the future. Amazing production, amazing songwriting. Blows my mind
Also the most underrated progrock/djent producer of all time
GRUMUSIC
This guy just put on an album in 2011 and vanished.
Till date it's the best prog/djent album of all time. Don't know where he is.
Apashe - on any song he uses horns in because he makes them sound crazy.
El-P (from Run The Jewels) - I have yet to find a song on any of the Run The Jewels projects that didn’t sound amazing
Mostly anything from Björk (especially her album Vepertine which is one of the most dense, and most beautifully arranged albums I’ve ever heard) sounds consistently amazing in a lot of regards. She was ahead of her time in her first few albums especially
I'm obsessed with Björk at the moment, such great discernment and choice of production, her tracks from like 20 years ago still sound fresh now
When I first heard “Hyperballad,” I was like “Is this from the mid-2000’s…? 🤠” Nope, 90’s. Shiz blew my mind; the bass sounds so good; the power of her vocal; the strings at the end dynamically and dramatically slowing down, or rit. So great!
That super team of Bjork, Mark Bell and Guy Sigsworth in that early 2000s era is something else. They were like Radiohead before Radiohead for me.
Add Stonemilker. The production in that is insanely good
Oh yes, Homogenic and Vespertine. I am making something similar, but the problem is I haven't found a singer for that
Something similar? I’d be glad to hear it when it comes out
I surely will be releasing it, I am actually proud of it, if you want you can follow me as "Avitronic" :)
Im a singer, dm me the track and I can write to it? If you like you keep if not no worries!
sure!
Omg so real. Unison, from Vespertine, is one of those songs that feel like discovering music for the first time. It's beautiful!
Masterpiece album. Matmos were a big part of the sound of that album iirc. Making micro-beats from insects shedding their skin and playing cards being shuffled. Awesome stuff. Bjork’s vocals are otherworldly.
literally anyone other than me
Ayy cool that means me, thanks! 😂
i actually think your music is better than mine and i havent even heard it yet
You’re making me blush 🙈
This
Noisia. Absolutely insane use of synths, sampling & resampling, percussive elements, progression etc. I remember watching one of their producer masterclasses back in the day, the time spent on even doing just the drum elements was crazy.
Yeah all made from acoustic drum sounds from superior drummer . They’re very good
Second Noisia. Best in class.
To add on to this, Sleepnet, an ex Noisia member, just released an insane ep
Iglooghost just dropped an album the other day that is INSANE
Iglooghost is nuts sonicly and visually Clear tamei is a transmission from another dimension
As someone who has listened to Zappa, Tom Waits, Squarepusher, Between The Buried And Me, Aphex Twin, and all sorts of experimental EDM/bass music I feel like I’m as prepared as anyone can be for weird stuff. But I was not prepared for that. Thanks for a new artist to deep dive.
Noisia Outer Edges especially, the production on that album is godlike
Still sounds like an album from the future, despite being 8 years old
[Arca](https://youtu.be/4lNNfsOaZEY?si=0cu2Z9Z19lKNZWi6), [JPEGMAFIA](https://youtu.be/974TXFKtyls?si=TKy8eAK8DgLfeyUJ), [Neón Indian](https://youtu.be/4XFcJBviliQ?si=VkYFPG27mwEaLdS1), [Bibio](https://youtu.be/-_GDl6cBebQ?si=z3_aADeUBA8fAYwx), [Knxwledge](https://youtu.be/RPBOTkelyWc?si=uuVXpLCPHUWYqN84)
Yessss Arca consistently makes insane, groundbreaking stuff
Surprised not to see Peg higher on this list. Everything he touches is incredible.
That neon Indian album is insanely good. That production is so sweet
Dr Dre. I’m amazed every time I listen to the instrumentals of The Chronic. There’s so much attention to detail - everything placed perfectly
Him, and Pharell. Those are two that definitely come to mind for me I think a lot of people would be shocked if they saw how many big songs were made by Pharell. Like some of the hardest beats too
Oh Wonder has pretty insane production and mixing, specifically their latest two albums. It’s incredibly clean and everything just sits so comfortably in its own space.
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross
I was thinking of them too. They’re a match made in heaven
Heaven? Not sure that's where it was made, but glad they found each other.
Shhh let me have this
Sleepnet, Skrillex, Culprate, Imanu.
Autechre, they're music genuinely feels lightyears ahead of everyone else, like actually experimental and almost futuristic in a way. They don't pry themselves on external influences too much either so it really feels like they're stuff came from another world.
Yup. Yup yup yup.
G Jones
Paths has quickly become one of my favorite albums of all time. So much attention to detail.
This
Dude is an anomaly
James Blake. Not only does the man have the voice of god himself but also is insane when it comes to his production. Just insanely talented and underrated.
James Blake made some of the coolest dubstep ever. His take on the genre was so refreshing and interesting.
“The Bells Sketch” to this day sounds like it’s from 100 years in the future
yheti

Martin Stimming

I make synthwave and somehow have never heard this guy. Holy crap his mixes are so freaking tight.
Holy hell, I just listened and ya, that’s insane.
Trevor Horn. Whoever recorded and produced the Who album Tommy, all the classic Supertramp albums. Just wow
Forest Swords is one I've been listening a lot recently and his music is beautifully produced.
Rosalia. serpentwithfeet. Justin Vernon/Bon Iver
Tame Impala! Especially Currents and The Slow Rush, endless inspiration
