Been listening to his self-titled and Assume Form albums and I dare to say he may be one of the greatest producers of the 21st century.

Wilheim Scream may be his greatest song ever.

I still think The Colour in Anything is his magnum opus. Never had I ever cried during a listening session until I listened to this beautifully melancholic album.

Any thoughts on this, KTT2?

Man I wish niggas really wanted to have serious production/lyricism convos on here

“Texture” is your greatest asset as a producer in terms of standing out lol

Just curious, who are your top 5 producers?

Of all time or rn

Now you know damn well these dumb niggas and whitoids don’t care about anything that ain’t about someone getting shot up

All his albums are mid tbh

Same with bon iver

VIBES

Clarence Clarity
SOPHIE
AG Cook
Arca
Kanye West

havent listened to dude in a minute but yea he deserves even more respect.

Right now

Arca whew, the work she put on franks little demon

Yeah your texture so to speak is basically the timbre of your entire soundscape

Aka how everything comes together to a single identity, and how each seperate thing means its own part of your sound

Travis Scott's autotune means one thing, his beats' chords mean another, his drums mean another thing and so on...but when it all comes together it becomes Travis's texture.

Aspiring producers especially need to get the importance of a distinct "texture"

Pierre
This local guy from my city named Fore’n
I like 100gecs beats
pyrexwhippa
neeko baby (dababy - vibes)
James Blake
I love franks beats since blonded radio loosies idk who makes his beats tho
d rich! (He did a lot for bankroll fresh stuff)

me lmao

Currently is hard bc Im starting to listen to less and less new music and more stuff from me growing up and before I was born but that’s who I’m f***ing with rn

Exactly. So important and also why Pierre beats are crazy

Wish there was a whole thread or section we could nerd out about these topics without trolls or niggas tryna be funny

sometimes i don't think it's not so much about the individual producer, but how the producer(s) and artist come together to make it work. how they layer all the different parts of production and the lyrical component. like you mentioned, frank's production is always super good. I think tame impala is another example like that, kevin parker always has wild production that is super layered but it still manages to sound super clean and fits his vocals perfectly

Yea that’s someone I forgot his s*** is signature to him like u can tell it’s by the same person w no tag

turn up the reverb

we doooo bro, let’s do it

I feel like a lot of the times that gets thrown away just to make the next catchy or hard beat

type beat culture f***ed s*** up lol

Fantastic discussions and replies so far

Lets do that thread, fam

P.S. I was insecure about discussing the wonderful textures that James Blake creates in his songs and albums. Hopefully the upcoming thread will delve deeper into why I feel that texture is important to have in music.

Assume Form and especially the title track is one of his best works y’all niggas sleeping. Read the Resident Advisor review if you need a perspective that ain’t cucked like P4K or Cucktano

Just listened to weilheim scream cuz of the title, disappointed lol

Nobody will top Radiohead with their insane sound landscapes tho

Boards of Canada
Aphex twin
Bonobo
Clams casino
Beach house
2814
Telepath
Toro y moi

All wayyyy better
