Top 5 electronic producers

I don't know how to feel about feed me. I'll give it to Jon he's so fucking talented. It hurts a lil bit cause he can do so much iller shit. But my friends are making good money off this shit as opposed to some of them grinding for years and years for pennys.
Off the record though I'm a junglist through and through and something is decidedly unsettling about compromising your musical integrity for money. However I don't know what I would do in that situation and I'm in no way insinuating thats what spor is doing. Its cool he does all his own artwork and the with teeth shit with Ewun/KTN.
I know that's a kind of pc answer but like i said part of me is really glad of the money coming in to those veterans who deserve it.
I could live my life never hearing another feed me tune to have spor come back though. :D
 
Best Producers no order
Pretty Lights
Flying Lotus
Amon Tobin

Notable mentions: Rusko, Wolfgang Gartner
 
i wrote down a big list of my favorites and then picked the best of the best
i'll always love and listen to these talented producers:

1. MiM0SA
2. venetian snares
3. nu:tone
4. ott
5. squarepusher

it changes a lot based on what i'm currently listening to, i've been really exploring other genres lately and messing about on youtube and finding fantastic stuff. but those 5 artists stand out in my mind the most, i guess


Thank you for this list. Whenever I feel my music collection has gotten stale and I feel the need to explore new artists, I come to bluelight looking for people with similar tastes (Sqaurepusher, and Venetian Snares although he usually feels like sonic overload to me) in threads such as this. MiMOSA and Ott sound fucking awesome. Not really feeling nu:tone, but you gave me two new artists to check out. Appreciated.

My top 5 electronic artists:

Luke Vibert
Aphex Twin
µ-Ziq
Shpongle
Squarepusher
 
I don't really have favorites par say, but if I had to choose a handful in no particular order, it would look something like this;
-Headhunterz
-Catatonic Overload
-Josh Lang
-Bas & RAM /Only issue is that they don't produce anymore :'(
-Old Tiesto
-Ferry Corsten
-ATB

See I can't choose five.
 
Dntel (in reference to his production on The Postal Service album)
Burial
Arkist (listen to 'Only if you mean it', it is beyond magical. Good things are gonna come from this guy for years to come.)
Siriusmo
Daft Punk, more so Thomas Bangalter ( just watch Irreversible with a good system)
 
underworld
chemical brothers
Anthony Rother
Richie Hawtin
Boards of Cabada

I don't understand so much hate for the newer stuff in these kind of threads :( not all of us lived in the 90's :\ or think trance is god.. just because you like "underground" EDM it doesn't make u cooler or ur music better than someone else's :) where is the PLUR attitude?

so feel free to criticize my 5:

Above and Beyond
Seven Lions
Deadmau5
Nero
Kaskade
 
DEADMAU5. Without question the best producer out there. People are claiming he is too commercialized these days. I highly doubt it considering acts like Rhianna have wanted to work with him and he says no. plus the opportunities he offers the public (the veldt) being one and his latest track "telemiscommunications" in which he has again offered the public a chance to create a video for the song.
His chick Kat Von D is also a bonus :-)
 
Aphex Twin
Flying Lotus
Amon Tobin
Lorn
Teebs

Massive Attack purely for Mezzanine. That album is incredible.
 
Squarepusher
Plaid
Mala
Skream
Benga
Caspa
Silkie

So I guess that's a top 7.

No particular order. I would put Squarepusher at number 1 though.
