alleycat Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 i havent heard too much hydraglyph but what I have heard i like, so another +1 for them. Id also like to nominate DMMT. I like the nice grooving feel of their stuff. And, Im a Doors fan since I was 13, their remix of Break on Thru is nice. Quote
south african hippie Posted November 16, 2006 Author Posted November 16, 2006 Artifakt! /Thread moved to general. /DP 644299[/snapback] Yeah Artifakt r definately out there, one of the foremost, groundbreaking acts in SA. Also done alot for the SA psy trance scene. Viva Viva Quote
south african hippie Posted November 16, 2006 Author Posted November 16, 2006 Thanks for the replies, Artifact and Hydroglyph are definately up there, did alot to get the SA trance scene going aswell, but now there are alot more bands out there. Dont get me wrong, been there from the very beggining and have seen it all go down but would like to know who is taking SA trance to next level? Quote
alleycat Posted November 16, 2006 Posted November 16, 2006 Id have to say Brethren are taking it up a notch. Clean production, melodies, stomping bass. But Im not so up-to-date on SA stuff. Quote

Dont get me wrong, been there from the very beggining and have seen it all go down but would like to know who is taking SA trance to next level? 644431[/snapback] Yes I would like to know. My Favourite: Artifakt Brilliant stuff!! Quote

Dont get me wrong, been there from the very beggining and have seen it all go down but would like to know who is taking SA trance to next level? 644431[/snapback] Good god, what is that font? You are right, of course, Artifakt and Hydraglyph have been there for quite a bit and have pushed the SA scene way high - and yes, there are a lot more bands out there. So I've give this quite a bit of thought. I've considered all of the new groups and artists from South Africa that I've heard recently, all of the new albums etc. And what do you know, the answer to your question is obvious: ARTIFAKT, MAN, ARTIFAKT!!! Artifakts II is pure genius! Quote
seraph Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 I was never that much into SA Trance but I also choose Artifakt, crazy music... Quote
exotic Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 Rinkadink , protoculture ,frozen ghost and dMMt are my favorites hard to choose amongst them Quote
Sideffect... Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 south african style isn't my cup of tea idd, but when they create fullon they hell know how to create some very very good fullon rinkadink brethen twisted system (also from SA I thouht ) protoculure, one of my favourite top fullon artist Quote
Tatsu Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 My personal favourite is Protoculture, I like melodic music... Quote
fohat Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 1. artifakt (for his incredible production skills) 2. shift (for his creativity) 2. slug (for his melodies) 2. pitch hikers (slug and shift, so best of both) 3. hydraglyph (for their straightforward and very well produced sound) 5. twisted system (for their weird and still catchy stuff) 6. frozen ghost (for their perfect industrial style) 7. damage (for his techno style and for not sounding like any other sa artist) Quote
NextWorld Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 My personal favourite is Protoculture, I like melodic music... 644664[/snapback] Same here But he is the only South African Artist i know, besides Rinkadink...who is second And the second Album wasn´t that good... Quote
moni Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 I'm surprised Insejn hasn't posted in this thread yet. Of course the best SA act is: ARTIFAKT There are other SA acts i like, but the best is Artifakt. Quote
Aqualung Posted November 17, 2006 Posted November 17, 2006 I like Rinkadink. Don't know if that's typical SA style (don't know the other artists), but I like it a lot. Quote

Also, I'd like to add: Broken Toy Headroom Lost & Found Rabdom L & my friend: Zion Linguist (MMD Records)!! There's many great talented Artists from S.A right now, it's hard to choose just one fav! Of course Rinkadink & Artifakt are in the top 5 for sure! Quote
Drosophila Posted November 18, 2006 Posted November 18, 2006 Artifakt and Xatrik weird nobody mentions him I like his multilayers-in-ya-face-style! Quote
pixiejanet Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 I`ve prob heard loads of S.A music but not known it...i simply like tunage... Only know one S.A boy, but don`t know his DJ monicker... I recognise some names from your lists tho`.... Quote
