My Top Soundclick Producers/Prospects List

[three15mafia]

What's wrong with liking Soundclick producers?

... or any producer?

That's what confuses me too. . .

 

[NoVA Entertainment]

If you visit Soundclick regularly or sell beats on there, I'm almost certain you'll know who some of these people are. ESPECIALLY the top ones lol. Anyways here are some of my favorite producers on Soundclick. Some are VERY established with a credible client list and some are up and coming unknowns. If you have anymore to add or to comment on, feel free. I just don't want any haters or debaters in here haha. *NOTE* This is not a ranking chart. I only numbered them for convenience. These just the people I listen to and I don't what you would say "look up them" because that sounds weak on my part. Nonetheless I do respect them and their hustle. Whether you agree with me or not, you're entitled to your own opinion. I'm also using this to spread the word as well. This post is not to favor any particular person by the way.

1. Johnny Juliano - soundclick.com/johnnyjuliano - By far one of the most innovative producers I've heard. To me, it's kinda hard to put a finger on what his sound is like. It's like a mix of analog synth-based hip-hop, excellent sample use, and complex drum patterns. He's one of those dudes that most producers try to be like, but can't pull it off the way he does. He also designs his own graphics and sounds. Gotta give my props to him.

2. Superstar O - soundclick.com/superstaro - Honestly, I think I started listening to his beats just about a year ago. But nonetheless, he is an amazing producer. He uses all kinds percussion patterns mixed with really dope synth lines. He's worked with everybody from Yung Berg to Jim Jones. If you see his myspace, you'll agree when I say he's making a fxcking killing haha.

3. Vybe Beatz - soundclick.com/vybebeatz - Even though it kinda urks me that he doesn't show his identity, he's still one of the cleanest sounding producers on Soundclick. I don't think I need to say much more. Check out his music already!

4. ID Labs - soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandid=917344 - When it comes to making professional quality beats, ID Labs pretty much has it down to a T. Made up by E. Dan as the main producer and Josh Everette as the singer, they cover many different styles of music. Not to mention they work with many other producers as well.

5. Dizzy Beatz - soundclick.com/dizzybeatz - While he isn't really the topic of conversation, he's pretty versatile in my book. Great beats, mixing, and all aroundedness make him somebody to look out for.

6. Chris Mecca - soundclick.com/chrismecca -While he's not my main favorite, I do admire his work ethic in beatmaking and GFX. He really does make some nice music and I say he's worth checking out.

7. Sledgren - soundclick.com/sledgrenbeats - If you listen to Wiz Khalifa on a regular basis, you'll most likely hear alot of his production. I just personally like the way he flips whatever samples he uses. I didn't even know he had a Soundclick at first lol. But yeah check him out though.

8. Flash Beats - soundclick.com/flashbeatsnetI kinda call him the unofficial member of Team Hitz. If I'm correct, he hails from Europe. I forget where he's from, but that doesn't matter. He makes some awesome beats.

9. The College Kidz (YSavior) - soundclick.com/thacollegekidz - In a way, he kinda sounds like Johnny on some tracks. But thats just me lol. Anyways when you can, check out his "Thriller" remake. EPIC.

10. Trey Santana - soundclick.com/treysantana - Even though he produces mainly R&B style beats, the quality of the tracks are still great. Considering that a 16 year old Austrailian made this stuff, I have to say thats pretty cool. Much Respect. Music know no limits...

11. Dat Boy EC - soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=676492 - If you're looking for quality trap beats, check out his beats. They sound super clear and professional. Even though it's not the newest type of sound, he's one of the best when it comes to trap.

12. Kyle Justice - While he isn't the most popular or highly-charted beat maker, I sense alot of potential in him. It's kind of a new, fun sound and it would be great to see him up in the top 100 at least. Just needs a little improvement and elbow grease.

13. oskermike - soundclick.com/oskarmike - Even though sampled beats aren't really in the brightest of spotlights, I still enjoy them ALOT. He makes one of the most quality I've heard from any indie producer. Hard hitting drums and orch samples put it on lock.

14. 5th Sequence - soundclick.com/5thsequence -If you're into A Tribe Called Quest or De La Soul, you'll find his beats pretty soulful and jazzy.

15. Epik The Dawn - soundclick.com/epikthedawn - He's been on Soundclick for a fairly long time. Pretty consistent guy. I think he also has a Ustream of him making beats. He mostly makes R&B/Pop style beats. Nice quality music.

16. Sinima - soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=653780 - I've actually followed him since he was still working with Shadowville. He apparently polished his sound and I think good to see progression.

17. Mev The Producer - mevtheproducer.com - I first ran into his profile about 2 months ago. I like his selection of beats. Pretty solid sounds.

18. Purps Beats - soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandid=543285 - Like Sinima, Purps was one of the earlier producers I've followed when I started visiting Soundclick. Even though some of his tracks are hits and misses, for the most part I like his style.

19. Bravestarr - soundclick.com/bravestarr - For some reason, I think his beats are really dope. They're simple and not too drowned with whatever lol. Cool dude.

If I missed anybody, then PLEASE let me know. I'm trying not to make this post like 6 pages long lol.

lol, I could have predicted you would name 90% of the people you named.

I couldn't help but to laugh though as soon as you started describing these people...you started off with innovative. I laughed because the only reason I could predict who you would name was by thinking about well who has the "soundclick sound down?"

I've been a soundclick member for a loooong time. Back when there was Ozone Beats. At that time, Ozone, Vybe, Sinema, and one other producer that all sounded like one person.

I can't tell you the number of times I thought to myself about the "soundclick formula," and how it just isn't something I would go for as an artist or something I would do as a producer.

Not trashing on it at all! It works. Fan of Wiz Khalifa . Just saying I know these guys pretty much all do the same things, e.i. techniques, melodies, chord progression, sounds, drum patterns.

They all fit into one category. You play any of their music I immediately say "soundclick beat."

These are the producers that were smart enough to pay attention to what those members were buying the most on that particular website.

For me, when it comes to internet producers/artists, I find exponentially more music that I cater to/caters to me on plain old youtube.

I go to soundclick and I'll listen to 10 beats or so. If they are in the top 10, more than half sound like it could have been done by the same person. But you'll see 8 different names or so.

Again, not knocking that hustle. It makes them the kind of money they want (I assume.)

I just happen to have other things in mind...if I had it my way, I wish everyone only paid attention to what's hot on soundclick top 10 and be as blown away by it as you are. Then I can even more easily be seen as a different kind of producer with an Internet presence. Not that I have that problem anyway at the moment

Okay I guess I can't delete my account. Oh well. I'll just have to be cursed and known as the guy who wrote the "groupie ass thread". You know what? That's cool with me. I'll just keep posting my shit. Even if nobody agrees with me. But hey, it builds up the notoriety of my threads so keep the ham coming! I might even become admin one day lol.

yeah...one day...

Maybe it's just in my head but I think you care about a lot of things that just don't matter to me or most people here lol.

Either way, just keep doin you...nothing wrong with that. It doesn't matter if I or anyone else doesn't agree with you. Just make music...

You are a producer right?

Please someone sticky this post.


thank you.

I mean...they even eq and compress the same lol.

I've been a soundclick member for a loooong time. Back when there was Ozone Beats. At that time, Ozone, Vybe, Sinema, and one other producer that all sounded like one person.

Vybe was around in the Ozone days?

I only remember: Ozone, Shadowville, BeatSmith and Vtz killin it at that point

Later there were: Ansane, Freqbeatz, OmegaBeatz, Anno Domini, Hifly Productions etc.

Then Vybe etc came on and Sc changed to what it is now.

Anyone remember Dzk? He had mad potential

Shadowville was the other producer I was thinking of. I thought for a while that Ozone and Shadowville were working together.

Yeah maybe vybe wasn't back then. I remember VTZ, Anno and Freq.

Not sure if it was mentioned, good picks, but I think White Hot Pro, Auditory Beats, and Kane beats should've made the list as well(No self-promotion B.S., look them up).

As for all the talk of "soundclick producers not being industry"...you guys better take a look around, with the decline in budgets, these ARE the guys making industry placements now more so than the "veterans" of yesteryear.

Most people on that list have a long track record of "industry placements".

Anyone remember Wyshmaster? I think he started this shyt.

 

[F00T]

Kane is in the building nigga....lol I say that ish all day once I hear it on the radio...infectious

Oh yeah, I remember wyshmaster too...

Definitely clump him in there with ozone and shadowville.

Those three were probably the main reason I used soundclick when I did.

hmm and look at the current quality of material being released compared those of the veterans of yesteryear....

 

[Mev_The_Producer]

appreciate the mention!

Opinionated statement.

Look at the things that were left in the artists hands, and I can see where you're coming from, but that's to blame on artists, not producers.

I'd have to say I hear better arrangements and sequences as well as overall musical versatility in average soundclick producer.

Things like the mix and song content that I feel has shifted has to do with the ARTISTS, not the productions.

yea i wasnt blaming it all on the producers but a bunch of (not all) these dudes just recreate whats already been done there worrying more about sells, than making quality beats again not all but a good bit i have seen.

 

[Ty baby]

^^^just a question why do you hold such a grudge against the new era really no beef just a question

No offense, cool beats, but I go to your soundcloud, the 1st beat is called "billionaire" and sounds like a "soundclick producer" beat. Just confuses me to what makes you feel these guys are doing something "wrong' or you're somehow doing something "different". A song title like "billionaire does kinda give the impression of an intension to make cash(nothing wrong with that).

Actually, second beat just dropped in and sounds even more like a "soundclick producer" track all the way down to the lex luger snare.

Do you feel your quality surpasses that of the artists being discussed here? I understand the concept of feeling you have further to go, but you're headed in the Johnny J, Mev, WHP, Vybe direction, are you not?

 

[SwahO]

Hey, I'm just gonna say that I do look up to those guys.. and I'm only getting a couple leases here and there right now but I think I have promise.. 3wks and only a lil bit of promo I think with some time to get better with music I can start living off my shit.

What do you guys think? www.op3beats.com

Showing promise?

no no no i dont think these dudes are doing anything wrong at all man there all very talented producers who are much further both career wise and musically. My whole thing was i dont get why these soundclick dudes have so many producers looking up to them i dunno chalk it up to growing up in a different time i suppose im 25 now soundclick guys just never wow'd me i guess cuz i grew up gettin inspired by the same dudes who originally inspired them... i am in no way trying to belittle these dudes sounds or anything... tho i wont say i 100 percent agree with there business format/system but i have stated before i dont really get down with the lease/licence system. and i dont kno what lex luger snare your speaking of sir thats def not the same one hes uses even than his is from the zaytoven kit

^^^just a question why do you hold such a grudge against the new era really no beef just a question

because new era is garbage to me its just not my thing at all except for a few exceptions...at 16-18 ludacris, t.i., 50 cent, fabolous etc. were all on the come up hungry as **** shit i was 16 when the chronic 2001 dropped...19-22 (04-07) gucci and jeezy were just starting to buzz hard and atl was just gettin its crazy buzz... ill tell you without any doubt the music of today doesnt even come close to standing up to what i was growing up on and thats not mentioning all the older west coast/bay area east coast early down south shit i was into i hope now you can understand a bit why i dont **** with this new shit

and btw since i kno your a big fan i was also at one point hell "get off the corner" is still one of my favorite songs to this very day....but truthfully i havent bumped weezy except for maybe a feature or 2 since maybe the carter but more likely 500 degrees

 

[deRaNged 4 Phuk'dup]

^^^I getcha, and again, no offense intended, your tracks are good. I just expected to hear "Boom Bap" or Kanye soul beats from the way the discussion seemed to be going.

I don't knock anyone driving a range and living in a mini mansion behind music. Whether leasing, off royalties, playing at a church, scoring movies, writing broadway musicals, doing radio/commercial jingles, or teaching at a university.

Plenty of soundclick producers are indeed "richer" and "making more moves in the industry" than folk I came up being inspired by who are now irrelevant.

different hustle now a days thats all, im not mad at the moves there making at all people think im a hater no im just a picky **** when it comes to music like i can tell the difference hugely between a shawty redd vs. vybe track or lex vs. d.rich. I understand not everyone is as critical or picky choosy i just always been like that with the music i listen too which is probally why im not into the leasing/licensing hustle....but i have seen you mention the range and mini mansion a few times now lol i already kno who the range is in reference too but mini mansion i am curious

 

[inkexit]

Is soundclick supposed to be some kind of great place to market your beats? Do people post there because you can put your stuff up without including a download link? I wonder how many beats have been jacked off there simply by somebody hooking up two computers together? Seems kinda like shooting fish in a barrel to me.
