My biggest inspirations mostly come from the music i've been listening to when I were younger.

Deadmau5 is the obvious answer, everything about this guy is awesome. His mindblowing progressions and unique sounds I adore. Love his honesty and integrity too. Same can be said about Wolfgang Gartner and Mat Zo.

I used to be listening to lots of french house when I were younger, especially Mr. Oizo, Danger and Sebastian. Their glitchy style inspires me alot.

Talking about glichy stuff I love the old Skrillex music, fucking outstanding.

oh and Aphex Twin is god. recently i've been listening to lots of IDM, all his AFX stuff and The Tuss stuff. Also love squarepusher and most of the Luke Vibert stuff, especially wargon christ.

edit:

fuck I forgot RÖYKSOPP! those guys are like the reason I started listening to Electronic music. Melody AM is one of the best albums ever imo.

My biggest inspiration is definitely Owl City, his clean 'cute' sounding synths have played an important role in me developing my sound design skills, and his sense of melody is so amazing to me.

i'm mostly inspired by tracks more than by people. I mean by that, that a certain sound, track, song can inspire me without me actually liking the artist.

Although, I can say that Varien's style, Wontolla, Xilent glitchness, Savant randomness, are pretty inspiring to me. But It's more about their sounding than the person itself. (Not saying they are bad producers or that I don't like them, they're my favs)

I find cashmere cat's approach to production and melody writing incredibly refreshing and inspiring

same with giraffage

porter and madeon were the among the first electronic artists I got into and I feel like I've followed pretty much their whole careers so they've had a huge influence on me too

For me Martin Garrix, Hardwell, Afrojack & Skrillex are examples. Not only is it because of the music, but some fulfill a role as a mental coach to me.

  • Martin Garrix: His very creative mind and passion for music. Also his very down to earth attitude leaves a great impression.
  • Hardwell: Hardwell simply for his very clean mixdowns and great club songs.
  • Afrojack: His determination and his self-confidence is what impresses me a lot about this guy.
  • Skrillex: I owe him my great thanks for getting into music production. His fuck it, I do what I like attitude is something what surely interests me.

Biggest inspiration right now must be No Mana. Jesus that guy has some skills, and huuuge potential.

Other than that i've always loved mat and arty, although i think arty has gone far to mainstream the past couple of years, not a big fan of everything after "Together we are"
I would write something here, but I'm too lazy to do so

Luke Vibert, Aphex Twin, Kid 606, The Moving Shadow label and DJ Rashad as well as a lot of the Teklife crew (Spinn, Traxman, etc)

I also really like London Elektricity and most of the artists on Hospital Records

My soundcloud feed, it's filled with a bunch of new artists and a lot of different genres

That's why I love this forum, the chance to make these friendships and connections is amazing

I always find myself looking for new producer friends.

I'll be hanging out with my friends doing whatever it is and I find myself saying, "Damn, I can't talk about music production with a single one of these people.."

And you know, my friends are awesome, but you gotta surround yourself with people who share similar aspirations

Paris Blohm.

He's an amazing guy and incredibly inspiring. He always makes sure to motivate his followers and show them where discipline and perseverance can get them.

Music wise there is far too many to name:
Mako, two friends, vicetone, two loud, stadiumx...

In terms of electronic music, probably Skrillex because of his sheer enthusiasm.. He has a fantastic energy about him and it's clear that he's always made the music that he wants, and the fact that he's been so successful in that is extremely motivating to me..

In terms of creativity, I look up to people like Pink Floyd, Gorillaz, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Death Grips, Drake, Mr Carmack, Noisia, Amon Tobin.. The list goes on and on and on.
