alright so after about a month of listening to a fair amount of DNB, i think my favorite producer is gridlok. I fucking LOVE shallow/pacemaker, OMFG.
just wanted to share.

He's on DOA alot and is always helpful to new producers. I think he's based in SF if im not mistaken.

yeah...got his start in Florida w/the technorganic crew (still have a few of his old tunes from that label + a mix) and then moved out west to SF.
he's come a LONG way as a producer...not saying he was bad before, but definitely not @ the level he is now. 95% of his releases are playable.

I would agree with you there mike...but some are just alittle off...I DID NOT like the "Doorway" remix that he & Echo did...doesn't give the original justice @ all.....
"Pacemaker"
"Vampires"
"Like This"
)EIB( - Infinity (Gridlok Remix) *F*CKIN TUNE RIGHT THERE!*
"Vampires VIP" *DOn't know if this is out yet...got it on a CD-R though...BAD ASS
"AC/DC" He & Hive did a GOOD job on this!
THose are my Faves! Great producer...but I heard he is a dick in person.......just what I heard.

www.gridlok.net has a bio and a lot of additional info. I agree with Mike, he's come a long way. I've been really into his stuff since about the winter of 2002-2003, he really came around.
The big releases to watch for in the next couple of months will be the 'Tricks' EP on Violence. "Tricks" is I N S A N E, my favorite tune from NYE, plus the remix of "Vampire" (is it the VIP or a new mix?!?!), and the collaboration "Piston" with Kaos, that gets the big :yes: from me. And then you have his remix of Ed Rush + Optical's "Compound," which is dope.

Yeah, he lives in SF. Definitely a nice guy, very unassuming. I actually talked to him a number of times before I found out he was the infamous Gridlok. Of course, now that he's all the shit, maybe he'll turn into a super-mega-asshole! Heheh. Probably not.
Most of those SF guys are very nice and down to earth. It's hard not to be living in the Bay Area. Although a couple of guys do manage to be total wankers. I won't mention names. :)

"Heatwave" is my favorite tune of 2003. Hands down. I actually heard it the day he finished it and Hive claimed it for Violence; everyone in the room knew it was going to kill.
"Pump it up some. Pump it up some. Pump it up some."

That dude bs'ed his way out of a $20 bet we made on a 49ers game waiting for his f'ing plane in the snow the day after he played at Volume. Had I known he was gonna blow up I don't think I would've been as lenient, lol.....All good, he's def a cool cat.

Ryan is an ill producer, he's gonna be playing w/ Silver @ five this wed.
i can't say i've ever been really impressed with his music. i picked up the ep on violence, but just cause i wanted piston. and that was only half him. ah well.

2004-11-15, 10:14 PM
Yeah this guy is one of my fav producers. He rinsed it at Volume last year and he rinsed it at the DCDNB takeover at the tunnel. Can't wait to hear what he drops this week. And don't forget about Silver too. That Jamacian EP off of Random was dope and all the new bits he has lined up for release is jam hot. Big ups to Yayvonne and Bobbi for having em out!!

His remix of "Carrier" is pure fire...
So is "Heatwave"...
Should make a good night out....
I also have a coupple of hot tunes by Silver as well... "Light Mind" is pure evil...
