Fidget? Yes/no/die?

Seems to be very popular atm. Any favorite producers/dj's?

Fidget is win in my book. It takes all the stuff I don't like from electro house and does away with them entirely, and takes the stuff I do like and puts it on crack.

Yes and no. Here's my thing. As long as it's funky it's good. Jack Beats/Bill Eff stuff is real good in my opinion. It has heart and soul. However Bloody Beetroots, and unfortunately AC Slater's stuff is just trying to figure out how aggressive and hard they can make their synths.

Kids love it and it's very easy to mix since it's 4/4 to death.

I like it minus the 4/4ness of it.
Fidget + non house beat = win? (or is that too close to dubstep...)

i used to love it a lot, started the first clubnight dedicated to fidget with a mate in our country. then it got boring. tho now its starting to evolve a bit. i love the baile-ish beat
with fidget (check killer on the dancefloor). it's dope now! :)
my new fidgety mixtape shows 100% what fidget i love now

Ive never even have heard the term fidget to describe a genre before reading this thread. it seems like there are some killer beats around. can anyone recommend me some top notch producers? Im itching to mix this stuff

I find it really hard to dig anything with a wobble. And I've tried...a lot. I hear it everywhere, but i just can't get into it (just getting old perhaps?).

I don't even want to start on dubstep, or anything electro. even breaks these days. WHERE THE HELL DID ALL THE FUNK GO??

...sorry about that, i know there is still a lot of funk being produced, but not near as much as there used to be.

I like some of it still, although I think it came and went here (ny)
Honestly I'm surprised the sounds still going, being that it hasn't evolved much in the past 2-3years
Its funny reading how some of the starters are denouncing it now: switch, herve, jesse rose.
I still check out On the brink, the bulgarian, trevor loveys, hostage etc

in my mind there are 2 types of fidget, the electro wobble style and the funky style. there are a fair heap of guys producing funk fidget beats like Kyle Watson, Beatdoctors, HiJack and Shab Ruffcutt.

sm00sh there is a thread a while back that had heeeaps of suggestions. jus do a quick search :)
