as in.... the aptly-named markgabba very kindly sent me an introductory 3-cd pack 
featuring selected highlights from this chap's back catalogue over the last 10 years... i got stuck into it last night, and i must say this producer character has some serious skills... i actually haven't had a blast of hardcore freshness like that from 'dance music' in fucking ages...!!
yes 'dj the producer' makes gabba/hardcore/not-sure-watchercallit.. but holy shit, what skills!! he's got the dynamic sensibilities of liam howlett, engineering skills to rival 95% of d+b producers at least, and a manic inventive restlessness that makes me wish that if d+b had to go all clownish, why couldn't any of it sound even half as mental and innovative as this guy? constant changes, so many takes on some really simple ideas... he manages to deliver gabba's trademark bone-crunching payload while still packing in loads of detail and atmospherics along the way. in short, i'm well impressed!
big up markgabba, yer cds are on the way!
