SMITH OR HACK?

i like and play almost all of these. despite lacking a true anthem (like "donna", "good soul", "to our disco friends", etc), i have to say "Soundkit" is my personal favorite. the sounds, art, and track titles go together so well, and somehow it reminds me of old school Chicago house in a really great way. the one i usually play is "Ripping Chisel" but theyre all a good mix of experimental minimal and dancefloor banger.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

lol, the threads you miss when you hide polls. nobody voted for 'tribute'???

that last soundstream was easily one of the best releases of last year. picking just one from all this lot is hard though... maybe 'freakin'?

missed this one but I'd have flipped a (3 sided!) coin between "Soundkit" "Soundhack 01" and "Soundhack 02". '01' is probably the one I play the most, and has the most 'straightforward' trax so I bet that one would have been my choice I think.

Also, Soundstream did the best remix of 'See Mi Yah'

Oh My Goodness that Rhythm and Sound Remix. Heard it only like a week ago, because of sorry, you may not vote for easy lee, moving like a train or see mi yah remixes and wow.

oh yes it's crucial. i didn't like his prosumer/marat tepeli remix much though - one of the handful of things i don't care for from the smith/hack axis. (maybe it was just the wrong track to re-do, soundstream coulda done wonders with 'makes me wanna dance' off that prosumer/tepeli record i think.)

remix of herbert ftw

ooooh boy....

^^^that's one of my favourite tracks of the last year.

is it last year? i thought it was brand new. amazing thing.

oh "of the last year"....

sound stream - live goes on (2008) 0

lol

yes, "of the last year" it's a few months old but still doing it.

it's brand new to me. stopped me in my tracks. these two people don't make enough music.

Serious lol at the voter turnout on this one.

thank you. no, thank you!

YESSSSS

the best disc won

the sound stream stuff all has this huge bass rumble/wallop to it. how does he do it??

"all night" especially has this massive 3D low end that just sounds so so badass

he doesn't do much press, this was good though on his thought process (if not actual nuts-n-bolts production): http://www.residentadvisor.net/feature.aspx?1050

One of the very few producers who I have all the solo stuff by. “Live” Goes On is probably my favourite though.

managed to catch smith-n-hack 2 for a fiver at local hole-in-the-wall techno shop near the market - only missing soundhack 2 and MMM 2 from my smith-n-hackedex at this point.
