Could you name some artists who have a similar style? I'm really interested.
Hybris, Heavy1, Khanage's - Original Sentiment & Dakosa's – ‘So Long’ (V.I.P) have a similar style to Rockwell's imo
Rockwell is pretty unique with his beats. When I first heard The Cleaner I was 100% sure it was something by Rockwell. Hybris is the only one that really came near of what Rockwell did.
now there's a lot of producers coming up with these kinda drums:
Alot more of forthcomming Dub Phizix and Stray's (Fireball) sound got that minimal but fast & rolling drums.
I prefer hybris to rockwell, hybris is just more militant and aggressive with his beats
I have to agree partly as some of rockwell's bit are pretty aggressive/dark too:
That's basically why I think I will not get tired of Rockwell as he got everything covered. But in all honesty I'm not as much exited about Rockwell as I was 1 year ago.
Apparently, 'presales' from Monday.
Yeah man no problem. If you're talking about older stuff then a lot of the old Ed Rush/Doc Scott/Photek/Blu Mar Ten stuff has a real similar vibe to the glitchy/weird percussion minimal stuff that's about now. Couple of tunes off the top of my head:

You can see what I mean when I say things have gone full circle a lot of producers (Rockwell included) clearly have been influenced by this sound.
If you're talking about newer producers with a similar sound, check out Stray, ASC, June Miller, Spinline, Data... Sabre obviously as well. All sick with their percussion.
Wanted it for the a side, but find myself playing this side more. Small shame it plays at 33 rpm & could have fit the tunes on at 45 rpm
