A close runner up behind Timbo last year, Dave Taylor AKA “Rave Jesus” (cleverly coined by Nick Catchdubs) takes the nod in 07′. His production and remix work continues to push electronic music into uncharted territory. Already having done a track for the likes of Britney Spears (didn’t materialize) and rumored to be spending time in the studio with Missy Elliot, his name is no longer just the fodder of music blogs and DJ circles. This past year also saw him co-produce M.I.A.’s critically acclaimed album “Kala” with fellow musicologist Diplo. He has been spending a lot of time in Los Angeles over recent months working on Tricky’s new record and plans to move there in the new year. (Dave, come to San Diego!) Keep an eye out for Swedish rapper and singer Mapei who Switch produced recently as well as a full length album of Switch/Solid Groove material at some point.

Remix work in 07′:

Basement Jaxx - “Hey U”
The Black Ghosts - “Face”
P. Diddy - “Tell Me”
Freeform Five - “No More Conversations”
