What group or who inspires you?

[Nine Volt]

deadmau5deadmau5deadmau5deadmau5
I fangirl over him ;3

Other guys include Insan3lik3 (or whatever that guy's name is), Stereotronique, Daft Punk, and Feed Me. And still General Mumble (rather, his Daemian stuff).

[Mesogears]

StormWolf was the one who inspired me to become an electronic musician. People who inspire my actual music, other than him, include:

-Owl City
-Replacer
-Glaze
-PinkiePieSwear
-iamnotacleverpony
-Muse
-Rush

(EDIT: I'm sorry, I didn't realize I just necro'd the thread.)

[ganondox]

System of a Down. Serj is just such an inspiring person in general.



Don't you just feel inspired now?

[HMage]

All. Trance. Scene.

[colortwelve]

Let's see...

As far as electronic music goes, I'd have to say Zedd, Feed Me, Swedish House Mafia, Boards of Canada, Pendulum, and Skream.

But I also like to take a bit here and there from bands like Muse, Modest Mouse, Switchfoot. And sometimes I like to think that my ridiculous song structures are an attempt at evoking Periphery.

[Mr. Bigglesworth]

Kill The Noise is a bit of an influence in the realm of wubwub for me.

[caprixsnare]

edm: renard, shingo dj, and star driver
rap: captain Murphy, kid ink, earl sweatshirt
folk and rock: eoto, death grips, Animals As Leaders

over all: shingo dj

[SpmSL]

Jack Conte. That guy's a fucking genius.



And he did all of his early stuff in pajamas, awww yeah.

[JSynth]

There have been so many musicians in my life that have inspired me that I simply cant write them all down.

Glaze inspired me to make pony music.
And I need to mention Aviators somewhere. He's just awesome.

[Sonarch]

Oh my god, just about everything inspires me. That's partly why I have no finished music, besides lack of time. I can't stay focused on anything because I'll listen to something else and start wanting to do that, and then I just end up playing video games.

But, aside from being inspired by nearly any kind of music that is done well, I also get inspired by people who are just doing music because that's what I really want to do. Especially those people who are really new at it, because I see them progressing and improving, and it makes me feel like I can do it too.

I know exactly how you feel, man. Working on two types of sepultura influences, Megadeth influences, fucking Slayer, General Mumble, Conte, etc.
None of it's ever gonna get done ):

[Da Mane]

A lot of Hip Hop. Some punk and rock as well.

Currently I'm quite a bit into early Wu Tang Clan, Rage Against The Machine, Gravediggaz, Rhyme Asylum, Unusual Suspects, Respek BA, Hopsin and Cypress Hill (MC wise.) Possessed is especially sick and a huge inspiration to me. Then there's a lot of shit I just like but don't really draw that much inspiration from, like the early MSI albums are fun as hell to listen to.

Producer/Beat maker wise there's just too many good ones to list. Some of my favorite Jazz Hop and Hip Hop producers would be DJ Okawari, Nujabes, Premo, The Alchemist, Profound, Necro and the RZA.

[PropellerEscape]

I am, and have been since I was a small boy, influenced by Green Day. My dad gave me their reaaaaaally old albums, and they are sooooo good. Also, I love Foo Fighters, Pink Floyd, Van Halen, Face to Face and Bad Religion.
EDM-wise, I'm influenced by Eptic, Noisia, Daft Punk, Getter, Habstrakt, Aaron Wayne, KOAN Sound, everybody on Monstercat and a long list which goes on for hours. I draw inspiration from a multitude of sources

[Supersaw Hoover]

The Mars Volta.

I make industrial hardcore, speedcore, and noise.

I'm influenced by a prog rock band with Spanish undertones.

ok

[FLAOFEI]

I do not understand you...
but hey, Im inspired from (amongst other things) Billy Kamin and the Polka Dots :I
And well... I have no idea what I make... but it's usually not Polka (although I wish it was)

[ExoBassTix]

I have quite some inspiration alright. To quickly name some prominent ones:
SveTec, Viper XXL, Boris S., Organ Donors, Scot Project, Kamui, Kevax, Dr. Peacock, D*Minds, Tek-One, Juno Reactor, Sub Focus, ENiGMA Dubz, Mindustries, Sandy Warez, The Outside Agency, Ruthless, Fenix, Sasha Carassi, Tommy Four Seven, Len Faki, Ill Phil & Lorenzo, Lawrencium, LK-47, Adam, Raum 107, Stormtrooper, Traumatic Injection, Embrionyc, Mistabishi, Jakub23, LODA, Manuel De La Mare & After Tea, Burnski, Monolake, W&W, Paul Van Dyk, Paul Oakenfold, Neelix, FJ Project, Matt Lee, Lee Mac, Stana, Ron Hagen, ...

Wtf I made it a bit long xD

[MYCUTIEMARKISAGUN]

Well this is easy.



^^^ - that guy

AL-AL-AL-AL-ALCHEMIST



Best Sample-Based Rap Producer Alive.

Jack Conte. That guy's a fucking genius.

And he did all of his early stuff in pajamas, awww yeah.

MAN do you realize how long it took me to realize he was The Guy in Pomplamoose? aahhhh i love Pomplamoose <3, their Nature Boy cover still gives me goosebumps. Didn't they only recently become a couple? I swear, he'd better treat that adorkable girl w/ the voice of an angel right....

[Rider]

Renard is my main inspiration for electronic music
Lindsey Stirling inspired me to try adding my clarinet to electronic tracks like she does with the violin

[G4 Machine]

Current Value would have to be my favorite producer ever and my main inspiration. His sound is so unique and his music stirs up feels that no other producer i've heard can.

As for others, The Dj Producer, Limewax, The Panacea, Dj Hidden, Satan, Forbidden Society, Dean Rodell, Cooh, C-Netik, Devour, Bratkilla, Pythius, Donny, Gancher & Ruin, Firestep, I:GOR, Receptor, Philter, and Flutter Rex!

[CommandSpry]

Cirrus
definetely

[MRPPony]

These guys! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
They not only got me listening to EDM for the first time after listening to nothing but hiphop, rap and r&b (no srsly I was one of those guys) but got me into making trance music ^o^

But...they're not trance they're breaks...

Yes, yes I know. I was a silly child.

[Aurum Noble]

It's hard to pinpoint my exact influences, because my influences, both inside and outside the fandom, seem to be very broad, and I don't settle for just one single genre: for instance, I like synthpop and electronic dance music, but I also like new age and world music; the latter being one portion of my major influences.
