French Fries is one of the dopest producers out, he's in that mix (I dropped "Predador" and maybe "Yo Vogue")
I like Visionist and Teeth. Personally for 130, some of my current favorite producers are: Hackman, Breach (Ben Westbeech doing 130 bass music, he's killing it), T. Williams, Randomer, Mosca, Trevino (Marcus Intalex on 130, I guess he's been saying he's pretty much completely switching to this sound now), there are a bunch of others but that's a start.
To put it this way, I'm happy Loefah actually went the Swamp81 route, should show how I feel about it all.
And yeah, I know you've been on that Anti-Social tip for a while, remember that from SOHH. I used to jam their Rinse sets here and there, I cannot stand G Double as an MC at all (frankly, pretty much all the MC's on Rinse should just stop), dude is corny.

Actually, i'm more dmz/deep medi than anything. I haven't listened to anti social in months, i just usually post the news and stuff about them that I find out for frush and majesty. I'm happy for Loe that he chose to do SWAMP 81 because he comes across as a true artist (in the sense that it would kill his soul to not just do what he wants musically) but swamp is too hit and miss for me. Although I did feel the mean streets pt. 2, retribution and don't aks you don't get 12"'s. However, like I said before on SOHH, i just don't think this is "it". The sound just lacks something I can't quite put my finger on.
From reading your list...Randomer and Breach are very good artists, I can't stand Mosca though
Yep, Pangaea's great, "Router" will always be a classic. That "Hex" track he put out is great on its own but it doesn't work quite as well in the mix as I hoped (the snares are in really off places and the bassline gets lost in the mix).
Ironically, the Swamp releases you listed were the ones I wasn't feeling as much (something about FaltyDL, I just don't get all the hype for him). I have really been liking that Zed Bias EP they just put out (it's a great gatefold layout, too, the design to it is real cool)
As far as the DMZ/Deep Medi stuff. Imo, Coki fell *way* off, and Mala's not putting out nearly enough of his own material. A lot of the "dungeon" sounding stuff Deep Medi's been putting out I'm not feeling at all. Actually, I'm just not feeling most of the dungeon stuff at all, **** is boring and even more formulaic than brostep (if not as obnoxious).

I have been saying this for two years. I completely agree with you on that one breh...it really is boring. That's why I don't both with Distance rinse sets
However, VIVEK and Commodo's releases on deep medi have been top notch imo
Oh and 'won't hurt' is a classic to me (when talking about Pangaea tracks)
That Northern Soul EP is dope. **** everything, lol. New Ill Blu on Hyperdub is footwork, b. Dunno wtf that other **** he was releasing was, though. Copped the Icicle Rinse but haven't listened yet.
