    Default Italian techno sound.

    You know the sort of thing, techy funky well produced stuff. Apart from the usual suspects (Gaetek, Danilo Vigorito, David Squillance, Mark Antonio, Jel Ford, Advent/Mr G/G Flame, Marco Carola, Gadgets, Rino Cerrone & Stanny Franssen) are there any other producers and labels out there to look out for? I'm having a total block when it comes to record purchases at the moment and was after some clues/inspiration/hidden gems.
    Your help is very much appreciated!!

    Try some Bryan Zentz for some funk. He is American, but produces some good quality tech-funk. Dave Angel is also good for more of the same.

    For some reason I can't really get into Bryan Zentz's stuff.
    Forgot about Rotation actually (doh!), thanks!
    GFR Sweden looks pretty good. Anymore?

    I think as a whole the italian sound has got a little stale.
    Hertz and Bacto do some good funk, as do a lot of the american heads.
    Solitary by nature.
    Isolation is the gift.
    Does anyone have courage to stand apart any more?

    Ya i dig the Italo style. I agree that it can be a bit stale but when done right is very effective. I'm really loving Tomie Nevada and that last Paco Osuna release on Zenit is super duper nifty :clap:

    I think Tomie's fallen off quite quickly to be honest. The newest Gadgets releases are the worst things to come from the italian camp in years.

    Dustin, I haven't heard the Gadgets stuff but have you had a chance to check out Memory Lane 2, 3, & 4 ? Really tight production. Seems like he really spent alot of time making all the elements flow together really smoothly.

    I agree with agent. I think he is a very talented producer and he has alot of potential. I also like his "night becomes day" ep.
