The Flashbulb, much for the same reason as to why most people mention Venetian Snares, except I had heard Venetian Snares yeeeeaaars before I got into the Flashbulb. The Flashbulb made me want to cut up an Amen break and go fucking nuts with it. I still dig Venetian Snares and all, though. But yes, Flashbulb = infinitely superior to.. well, anything. =|

Amon Tobin's organic feel is something that I've always admired and I always wanted to somehow mirror it in my music. When I first heard "People Like Frank" I thought to myself "oh lawd, this is what it feels like to be me, I need to do this"

The Teknoist because he was doing stuff I had in my head all along, that bastard.

Mike Paradinas was the first time I heard someone do something to the Amen break that sounded like that. He created my interest in doing it, while the Flashbulb basically motivated me to do it.

The Third Eye Foundation's sense of melody and atmosphere totally overwhelmed me, it's something I also found in Amon Tobin, but it's totally different in execution here. TEF is beautiful in its atmospheric harshness. He was also the first frequent user of the Amen break that I got into so I guess my love for the break stems from me discovering him back in 2004 or so. Mike Paradinas basically added on to that until I eventually heard the Flashbulb who convinced me to cut the Amen up myself.

There are a lot more influences, of course, such as Fiona Apple, Madlib, Velvet Cacoon and Baden Powell, but they're basically universal influences or inspirations to my music, whether it is black metal or breakcore or dubstep, needless to say, they didn't really turn me to my computer when I heard them, they just inspired me to make music. The other musicians I mentioned basically made me sit down behind the PC and do it.

less particular producers, and more watching the responses of people to certain tunes when yr out.

especially non-dubstep nights. what makes people go crazy for a certain house tune? tons of inspiration.

caspa and rusko's fabric live is why I make music

lol joke.

I come from a metal background and I really think dubstep is a parallel to it in the electronic world, so I take a lot of influence from 80s metal and 90s grunge because if you listen to those riffs a lot of them are actually quite similar to dubstep basslines.
more recently I'd say deadmau5 has been a big influence, as well as burial, distance, and the obligatory aphex twin.

DJ Premier - Hip-Hop (Jazz rap)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8gYIMpXPQs&fmt=18

Venetian Snares / Aaron Funk - Glitchcore, Drum 'n' Bass.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QAqJAfBjN8&fmt=18
^^WORTH LISTENING TO..

NOTRusko - Currently my least favorite artist.. I despise that unabashed bastard.
No link for this one.. anyone who likes the guy should commit suicide.

Spor - Drum 'n' Bass (Not darkstep, yet the darkest DNB I've ever heard)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgU196bRr04&fmt=18

Lamb of God - Probably everyone just crossed their eyebrows.. But yeah, I listen to this band too. I am a huge fan of hybrid music (combination of 2 or more styles) and these guys mixed blues with metal very well.

TOOL - Progressive Rock (crazily creative band, awesome lyrics)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hglVqACd1C8&fmt=18
