Recently I've been listening to a lot of experimental hip hop and electronica. I'm not entirely sure what kind of stuff I'm producing any more. It's evolving to say the least.

Main artists:

OFWGKTA - Especially Earl Sweatshirt and Tyler The Creator
Dad Racist
Daedelus
Bonobo
Coldcut
Slugabed

The main label has been Ninja Tune, who I have loved for a very long time.

yeah man definitely agree... Tyler the Creator and OFWGKTA are awesome!

Danny Byrd and Netsky mainly for me at the moment, i know they're DnB but both are so so sick! love the energy in both their production... :)

I should be a 90s guy.

At the moment, I'm mainly inspired by 3 things :
90s stabs / Old School house : Kerri Chandler, Smack, 95 North, Jazz n Groove, Brian Trappert
Broken Beat : Seiji, Domu, Jeremy Ellis, and Everything by BITA
French deep house from the early 2000s : DJ Gregory, Soha, Julien Jabre, Playing For The City, DJ Deep...

And I must admit listening to a lot of DIY indie from the uk / us at the moment, and somehow it should have an influence on what I'm making

The music in this trailer literally blows my mind. Probably my biggest influence at the moment. I'd love to be able to capture that kind of emotion and put it into some garage.

that game looks fucking horrible :shock: (but id play it) :D .the music is great tho, very emotive. just find someone with a realy nice piano learn like 3, 4 chords and you should be half way there.

im trying to get real instruments into my songs atm, but then you have to be a real musican :( long.

Found a new record store (WIN there are none around me really) it's mostly a too cool for school hipster hang out, but they have a small used "electronic/house/drum and bass/disco" section--but I've been pillaging it for the past month. Can't listen to the records in the store (how lame is that?) but for 2-3 bucks a record...who cares...

The biggest winner recently was the Dr. Octagon "Blue Flowers" Remixes ;p also...Meat Beat Manifesto Helter Skelter/Babylon Radio...

"Your Eyes" from my upcoming self-release EP

I have listened to The Outside Agency a LOT! Bought everything on their sublabel GEN175 but it didn't influence my work. :lol:

liquid drum n bass softer indie/experimental bands and more tropical sounding dubstep and future garage basically anything uplifting and airy feeling. Really trying hard to get my synth lines to have this vibe but haveing trouble with the sounds finally happy with one of the drum structures and sounds used i came up with though (= so things are slowly progressing.
