...and the award for the most mind-blowing production chops of the year goes to... Monty. As if it were even a question. The wildly talented producer keeps busy but never sacrifices quality for quantity, and Hypnotize stands as his best work yet. Whilst firmly cemented in the rigid framework of drum and bass, he manages to make a familiar bpm sound new again with his impeccable sound design. It's truly something special to behold.
Favorite track: Magma.
