Ok, we have had Dutchm German & Italian before so lets go American! For a lareg population, the States dosn't have as much tunage as some other places in the world (mostly Europe) but that dosn't mean there are no American tunes. Im know there are a few members here from the States who go to events & there are a number of producers. The UK's rave scene came from Acid House which owes origins tothe States I belive & there are a number of top DJs who came over to the UK & other countries in Europe to play which would be a forerunner to the music we have now!
As a 90s lover there are alot of American tunes I like from that era which are very similar to the Dutch, Italian & Scottish stuff of the times. Lenny Dee being a huge name was very popular in the UK & Omar Santana made some very sick tunes with Scott Brown. DJ Delirium & Rob Gee both made stuff with the Dutch, Rob Gee being one of the best behind the 'Rotterdam' sound despite being from New York.
There is also DJ Spree who has mixes up on his website (www.spreeandadb.com) which are live or studio mixes. Some go back to 1998 & he is often with MC ADB who is English. Most of the tunes are English mainstream (the late 90s ones were the big tunes of the times as is with the 2000s) but he has done some very good Old Skool style ones! Sadly he only has ever had one tune out although has done remixes & is in possesion of some rare white labels! Typicaly most of his sets sound very English but they are all in the USA!

I'm gonna assume that we're talking hardcore.
..Spree doesn't really produce... There's plenty of good American DJs but few producers (since the hardcore scene in the USA isn't very large).
If I was to pick out of the USA only, I'd have to pick the K12 Studios stuff:
-Reese's remixes of 'Stargazer' and 'Real Love'
-No Left Turn's track "Duff Beatz"
-Tony Benino & Mr Jakk's remix of "Closin In' by Michael Mansion
Milo, Brak and AC Slater have some pretty good stuff too.
If we're including Canada, then there's alot of good stuff:
-Anything by EFM-7: Raver Raver Raver, Dream Machine, As Time Went By, Gurning Desire (collab with me :D), Lumalux 20 (Collab with Level13), Miracle, MK (Collab with me), etc.
-Almost anything by the Blizzard Boys (phosphor and justrich): Rock you, Booty calls, 4 beat hustler, Burn da floor, Claim you (feat Jackie Shaw), etc.
-Anything Frisky & Hujib: The One, Shake, remix of Fires in the Sky, etc.
There's alot I like but I'm not gonna name every Canadian producer :P

Yeuh K12 for sure.
I can't even think of any US producers besides the K12 guys and AC Slater's crew.
Erm, Crackerjack has made a few good songs, but I have no idea where to get them. I've only seen them on his myspace.
.....
Is Synthwulf american?

Dain-Ja, you make it sound like Level 13 isn't american, since Level 13 is another alias for Twisted Freq :)

Think its the best American tune too, also have it on vinyl :)
Now that i think of it, mine is probably distorted too, thought my rec level was all screwed when i recorded it. But could be the distortion came from the vinyl itself. Suppose the people with the CD promo have the only good version then?
