If you get beatport e-mails, they just sent one out about DEMF charts, which are musical charts by DJs/Producers who will be appearing at the festival.
After poking around, one of the best producers I hadn't neard of was Guillaume Cout Dumont. I like the tracks on his myspace page, and the sound samples at Beatport. He started out as a percussionist and played in jazz bands before getting into techno, which to my way of thinking is a big plus -- someone who learned to play music before getting into dance music, instead of first working on how best to trim their facial hair, and what sort of shoes to wear. His tracks sound pretty straightforwardly dance-y but with rocking hand percussion and cool sound design... Anyway, anyone else have any recommends for his records? I'm looking forward to what he does at the festival.
