What new talent has gotten your attention with their mixing, producing, or remixing... Progressive is a sound that evolves and where will it take us next and with who? I was disappointed with 2003 and the quality of sets available, while this year I find the sets are better quality with more a sound that is defining itself more and more... Who do you think the dj of the future will be in progressive house??? and why...

my fave cd of the year so far is [b]Lucien-n-Luciano[/b]'s cd Blind Behaviour

a true gem :Bingo:

he's been around a while, but i believe thats his debut artist album. his older mix cds are awesome too

think he's only been noticed slightly longer than this year by the world abroad, but my vote goes to matthew dekay. excellent seemlesss mixer. his flow is very smooth and he gets it going right.

Re: which new DJ would you say is the discovery of the year.

IMO, Dj Knobshine's chart is trending upward....

^ clever in disguise

Re: which new DJ would you say is the discovery of the year.

:Naughty:

gunther!

For me it's someone local that I featured on Proton a few months ago - Scott Oliver. I am fairly biased in my opinion on this one, but generally speaking I think I've got a pretty good ear for what really works.

Scott's style is techy influenced prog house, with a slightly dark edge to it - and jeeeesus christ his mixing is superb. Heavily influenced by Digweed. Fucking hot stuff. (And he'll be back on my Proton show before the year's out.)

If you're after the 4 hr Proton recording, just look me up on Soulseek as 'gtappers2' and grab whatever you like. :)

Re: which new DJ would you say is the discovery of the year.

Classics wins here! :Twilo: Desyn, Danny and Digs - 3 best newcomers :Twilo:

Best of 2004!

What member with no posts will create the most topics to get the downloads priviledge back first? huh?

not new really, but new to me... Brad Copeland.

hot, hot.

Re: which new DJ would you say is the discovery of the year.

I would have to say Greg Vickers is an unsung hero :P

Re: which new DJ would you say is the discovery of the year.

My bet is on Andrew K. I really like this guy (very tallented, with excellent skills)

i think desyn masiello.. i know hes been around but ive been turned on to him more this year than ever.

Re: which new DJ would you say is the discovery of the year.

IMO, its Greg Benz. His production work is excellent and his talent as a dj is just as impressive.

steve porter for me.. never heard his stuff til last may.. he really impressed me with hi style and love of the music..

Re: which new DJ would you say is the discovery of the year.

Steve Gerrard gets my vote, for his mixes this year. Wasn't really too bothered until the Wrecked Angle mix on Annie. He seems to be playing more progressive breaks these days - check out the latest dialogue mixes on proton.

Roaring melodies, building seamlessly between house and breaks - assimilating the best parts of recent sasha sets IMO.

Re: which new DJ would you say is the discovery of the year.

some are new to me:

desyn masiello derek howell lonestar parks & wilson karlos elizondo hernan cattaneo chloe harris

Thks for the hds up m8! I just got back from spending a year in Sydney will have a good look into the site.

rich woods!

Andrew K :RockOn:

same to me... he has been improving this year so much! desyn rocks! :Bingo:

Re: which new DJ would you say is the discovery of the year.

:LoveYou: John Digweed!

simply ... Mark Santangelo.

Been following him for about a year, and love all his work. Just a perfect example of solid, deep & dark progressive music.

Is there any value in YOUR post? Isn't the point for them to contribute? Someone comes up with an interesting thread and this is your contribution?

Good work.

Now, about the thread:

Desyn's been crowned the "NEXT BIG THING", but I wasn't that impressed during the Digweed tour. One hell of a record label, though, so I'll give him credit for that.

Steve Porter has really brought himself up a notch this year, and he'll continue to grow in popularity, IMO. Graduate from "Talented Opener" to "Headliner".

And Lee Burridge seems to be getting some of the recognition he deserves this year as well. He's always been big, but most people never put him in the best of the best status. I think his sets at Arc this year really helped him get recognized for what he is: One of the top five DJs in the world. My personal favorite.

Re: which new DJ would you say is the discovery of the year.

Andrew K & Kosmas Epsilon ;)

Re: which new DJ would you say is the discovery of the year.

it would have to be Nikola Gala or Andrew K for sure both of theyre latest sets have been smashing

Re: which new DJ would you say is the discovery of the year.

I guess they've been around for longer, but for one's that I've discovered this year that have rocked me with their new productions are:

Matthew Dekay Christian Cambus Steve Porter Pig & Dan Madoka Bart Van Wissen Chris Micali Fretwell Nathan Fake Ozgur Can

Jono Fernandez Smithmonger Kevin Shui Nic Fancuilli Max Cooper Kanye West

I agree Masiello is going up :RockOn: :RockOn:

[quote=esef";p="50544] Kevin Shui[/quote]

man, how could i forget kevin? his kiss mix was great, but are there any other sets out there by him?

nic fanciulli nils noa christopher lobsinger

Re: which new DJ would you say is the discovery of the year.

my vote goes to greng benz, excellent dj, and very good producer watch this guy !!!

[quote=the sun the sea";p="50575][quote=esef";p="50544] Kevin Shui[/quote] man, how could i forget kevin? his kiss mix was great, but are there any other sets out there by him?[/quote] see, it's not ALL breaks for this kid... i haven't scored any other sets, but if there are any floating around, someone holler! :!:

Re: which new DJ would you say is the discovery of the year.

Luke Fair is my hero in 2004. Not really new but I think making some serious ground this year into baller status.

Re: which new DJ would you say is the discovery of the year.

Re: which new DJ would you say is the discovery of the year.

Derek Howell along with Joshua Michael produced a hell of great tracks and they were two names that I haven't been aware of.

Benz and MD were on the scene but they did a bunch of great tracks also

Finally I believe that a producer / Dj that we have to keep an eye on is Kosmas Epsilon..looking forward listening to his release on Deep Records.He constantly improves both his production and Dj skills.

kosmas epsilon & andrew k = new sasha & digweed heh

and also markus schulz has impressed me but I can't consider that I learnt him this year
