a kind of simon reynoldsian thread, i guess, 'cos that's where i remember reading the term 'audio logo'. you'll know what i mean after i list my faves:

1. the just blaze "just blaze!" plus ascending synth.
2. the mystikal "eee-eurk" curious door creak sound.
3. the d-double e "mui" (moo-ey? myuieae?)
4. uhm... there are others?

I have no idea what you're talking about but my first thought was Raymond Scott.

4. Jadakiss' Seles-esque "ah-HEH" hack wheeze cough

like, not just production tendencies and vocal tics but sounds, noises or phrases that ppl deploy to let you know who's behind the track/mic/decks/laptop.

xpost - see, Dave's got it.

Ying Yang Twins - "hanh!" (which they use a whole song to explain!) and the falsetto ascending "oooo"

Jacques Lu Cont remixes - the four bar 1/8th note played bassline

Vybz Kartel - "Up to the time"/"Timeless"

Basement Jaxx - the reverbed crash and "Basement Jaxx" that starts off each album (but it's a different one each time!)

9. Missy's "This is a SO-AND-SO one-time production exclusive etc." when it's NOT HER TRACK (cf. Ciara's "1, 2 Step".

10. The mighty cartoonish "YIP! / YAHOO! / HOO-HOO-WHEE!" of Scott Miller (Game Theory / Loud Family)

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 8 March 2005 19:31 (twenty years ago)

in the corporate sense....I love the THX surround sound "jzzzzzooooooM!"

also, the kind of synth xylophone "DUN DUN" that precedes every section of an episode of Law & Order

Bobby O - the same octave jump bassline in pretty much everything he does

he doesn't always do the izzles, but he always has someone shout out his name in the beginning

The bit where Chris Martin states how he's going to 'sing it'.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Wednesday, 9 March 2005 01:23 (twenty years ago)

First thing that came to mind when i read the thread title was that Basement Jaxx thing, it's great. I really look forward to the next BJ album, not so much for the album itself, as for the chance of getting to hear a fourth variation of that intro.

Cornelius' penchant for lapping waves, space sounds, Atari blips, delayed sine waves, panned guitar licks (and panning in general), percussive sweeps, noize tendencies and a massive tech-orchestral hit have always stayed with me.

― BARMS, Wednesday, 9 March 2005 09:50 (twenty years ago)

DMX's "what!"

Also Manic Street Preachers seem to use this one chord change on like half of their songs.
