Boards of Canada the most distinctive sound

whose productions are instantly recognizable? listening to 8ball & mjg's in our lifetime vol. 1 i thought it must be organized noize but it was mr. dj, an o.n.p. affiliate

organized noize productions often feel like an artistical interpretation of the entire black experience, with a southern slavery-relevant anticipatory mood of freedom like

obviously you could point out boards of canada as having a distinctive characteristic sound; i'd be hard pressed to say who i like more... anyways let's discuss this

a few more examples i can think of are--in hip-hop: dr. dre (though he basically filtered p-funk into rap), the neptunes; in our kind of electronics: the orb (quite unique)

examples of organized noize:

neptunes/pharrell?

great stuff too.

Busta Rhymes.

el-p. super reverby, like beats from SPACE, dawg!

Lone? when he first started releasing I wrote him off as a boc wannabe but since have been continually impressed at how he has carved out his own little sound and mood and keeps carrying it through different styles.

i don't know if it really counts, but as far as it goes, max tundra is by far the most distinctive producer/musician/remixer/whatever you want to call him to gain any semblance of popularity. in my opinion, anyways. i can tell a max tundra tune within seconds.

i was listening to some biggie on a dj mix and i thought his rhyme style for the particular track sounded a lot like busta. i really know nothing about either of them... food for thought?

Amon Tobin pretty much hits the nail on the head

Fucking Tom Waits.

ok, that didn't sound like biggie....

DJ Premier always has a distinct style to the majority of his beats. Many, many, many diverse cut up vox samples throughout while still maintaining a very cohesive structure. I felt like I proved this earlier today after I was listening to a Royce da 5'9" track, I heard the distinctive cut up vox intro and guessed Premier; I was right.

I'm sure you mean "producer" in another sense, but Steve Albini's sound is always identifiable, no matter what band it is.

I can recognize most Dilla, Madlib is easier. Edan is one of the most creative producers of the decade imo
