Both of them are very diverse producers. Monolake has not made a lot of straight dance tracks ever, but my favorite of his dancier stuff is Tangent and some of the stuff on Hong Kong. Can't believe I forgot to mention Monolake... Kit clayton has some stuff that's more on the minimal tip - not as noisey or ambient. Moles and Avacadoes on Background is his closest to the Maurizio sound in terms of dubbiness but really more in the world of minimal techno. I love his live ambience too, but I think it's better suited to the context of his live sets, where he really shines IMO. I wish he'd release a live CD. His betalounge set from October is still doing it for me, especially the 2nd half of it once he gets through the noise. Seeing him live on the Formless Form tour was a real treat. For more of a beat treatment from these two, check out the Revenge of the Nerds set at http://www.monolake.de which is the two of them live. You can also hear most of Monolake's output including Tangent. I fail to see the Aphex Twin comparison. > If only the Maurizio-type producers would start making > tracks again, that would be awesome.

They've been making tracks this whole time, just slowly. Also check Deep Chord for quality stuff that's pretty similar (not to re-hash that debate). Anyone else notice "Psion" on the "thedrivehome" trailer? Wonder if that'll get corrected...
