Top 5 electronic producers

Simon Posford
John Digweed
Telefon Tel Aviv
Squarepusher
Secede

Those are my favorites, but I haven't been into the stuff for long, maybe a year or so. Infected Mushroom has a lot of great stuff but also a lot of stuff I don't like so I didn't list them.
 
Top 5 is hard to choose lol but if I have to they'd be (in no particular order):

Wolfgang Gartner

Deadmau5 (oops I said it >.<)

Benny Benassi

Le Castle Vania

Glitter (new fav Minimal producer)

Didn't realise you were so into your Goa trance! I'm glad you included Underworld though - I really can't praise them highly enough!!!

Underworld are almost as much a load of over-rated cack as deadmouse.

Care to give us your top 5 then, Tranced? (I'm guessing Underworld aren't in it!)

I've noticed a few people mention John Digweed in this thread. Do you really rate him that highly as a producer? - I mean I know a lot of people rate him highly as a DJ (although personally I've always found him boring and soulless), but this thread isn't about DJs!!!

Alex Smoke is awesome although I reckon Incommunicado blows the socks off his follow up album Paradolia...

I prefer Incommunicado too. But I do also love Paradolia. Incommunicado is more 'clubby', whereas Paradolia is more 'noodley'. He's released loads of good tracks besides those 2 albums though.

Check this out - Alex Smoke live in Calgary (July 2009) - I only discovered this recently - it was a link from his Myspace page. I can't get enough of it!!!
 
^ like a bit of Alex Smoke myself :) One can only dream of being anywhere near as good..

mine, without giving it too much thought would have to be

1. RDJ
2. Richie Hawtin
3. Orbital
4. µ-Ziq
5. Drexciya

Salthough its a very tough call, so many artists worth a mention, thumbs up on Speedy J James Holden and modeselektor, also got to mention Dom Smart (as Neurodriver) because I have recently started loving his stuff %)
 
My favorites simply:
1 - Armin Van Buuren (Vocal/Prog Trance)
2 - Tiesto (Hard/Uplifting/Epic Trance)
3 - Cosmic Gate (Hard gone Vocal/Prog Trance)
4 - Vibe Tribe (Psytrance)
5 - Ferry Corsten (Hard Trance mostly)

Oh and people who call Armin, Tiesto commercial, have a listen to their earlier tunes a.k.a
Blue Fear and Suburban Train (to get some clue ;)) - there's a difference between GONE commercial and ALWAYS been commercial :)
 
Armin Van Buuren
Above n Beyond
Ferry Corsten
Markus Schultz
Cosmic Gate

:[ my bad. all mainstream. but what can i say. i like vocal trance :D haha
 
Just to remind everyone, the correct answer is:


New Order
Kraftwerk
Underworld
Alex Smoke
Anthony Rother

I want to keep putting lists together.
