It's not that :o - most of them are pretty sought-after and producing massive artists. More so than Funkystepz or Benga or whoever.

:o because:
personally I agree that in 2010 goddamned beck is hotter behind the boards than any black producer

Haha I didn't even notice Beck in there.

the way these producers work is pretty diff to how a benga or skream produce though

yeah I mean even though it's an NME list I still assumed it was going to be at least primarily 'producers' in the sense associated with electronic/club music, rather than 'guys who are hired to record a band and make them sound good'... most of these names I either don't recognise, have no idea of their producer credentials (Beck?) or in a few cases am automatically turned off by

ehh, i dunno about this. it's the nme (not a zing, im just saying). it sort of makes more sense for it to mean 'dude who produces other people' rather than 'dude who makes music'.

sorry yeah I just meant in terms of how I think of the word, which I didn't make clear... that said, if (if) that list is a an accurate summation of 20 bigshot producers of 2010 it doesn't say much for the legacy of good and bankable rock qua rock knobtwiddlers, insofar as most of 'em are also dance producers/remixers/dudes who ~make beats~ (eg Geoff Barrow)

like even Ross Robinson is presumably mainly on there because he just did NU RAVE HOPES the Klaxons' second album (which I thought sounded horrible, but I basically hate them so accept that I might not have listened w/ wholly unbiased ears)
― ROLLINS: MY DEMISE (DJ Mencap), Wednesday, 6 October 2010 11:14 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah I've no idea who such a list is meant to appeal to, or who is likely to give a shit.

i might be totally out of the loop with him but who does beck produce these days? apart from the tribute albums hes doing through his site and those samey-as-anything scott pilgrim songs.

It's hardly making me want to rush out and buy a copy though NRQ.

xp:Beck has produced someone named Jamie Lidell:

and Charlotte Gainsbourg:

Don't ask me when the shit-hot production comes in though.

xpost it does seem extraordinary, that one.
Check the latest Docherty album, someone.
xpost and now my post is redundant,.

There's hardly anyone on this list who isn't past their best. Rock-wise, it's all a bit 2005.

Well, he isn't working anymore, but the two I mentioned are, and Nigel Godrich even works with relevant acts.
