what the hell ?
no ones mentioned moroder yet lol. Without him we wouldnt have that driving bassline, or 4 to the floor kick. all sequenced.
how come sasha is on that list.. and digweed.. they do not belong there. MAaaaaybe oakenfold.
# 1 IS giorgio moroder or Kraftwerk for sure
1) giorgio moroder (this music he produced was more structured electronic disco) 70s!!
2) Kraftwerk (pureley electronic, a bit more on the experimental side) 70s!!
3) Mauro Farina (started the whole european electronic disco trend, and produced almost every artist, sorta like the Dr Dre of 80s euro disco electronica)
4) Arthur baker (inventor of true freestyle dance & hip hop, sampling two kraftwerk tracks to create his phenominal hit planet rock, this guy set the marker for creative dancable freestyle music, inspiring artists such as nice and wild, stevie B, Jellybean and even modern artists who still use that refined structure to create electro)
5) Stock Aitken and waterman (ill put these guys together, they produced tons of artists in the 80s, including dead or alive, bananarama, rick astley, sabrina, mel and kim, kylie minogue and samantha fox)
6) Gianfranco bortolotti (80s disco producer moved on to produce unique dance in the early 90s with that housey euro feel. then on to euro dance as cappella and then attempted trance as sosa. Just his pallet alone gives him this top position, not to mention he was an influence for newer artists like mauro picotto and gigi d'agostino. The european house sound would not be the same without this man's innovations.)
7)Juan atkins (wihtout this guy there probably wouldnt have been a huge expansion into the whole sampling, looping and underground feel of house music as we know it in north america. More influencial for his inovations then the quality of his productions this artist created underground TECHNO and that whole start to looped sampled underground music)
8) patrick cowley (one of the pioneers of north american electronic music production, basically the moroder of north america, had he not died so early he would have probably made it higher on my list as his influence would have been greater)
9) New order (these guys were a great influence, this of synthpop was unique to europe very complex sampling going on here. An advancement of what was going on in the earlier 80s they deserve a position in the top 10)
10) Paul oakenfold (A Dj and producer, he's done alot for the underground progressive electronic music scene, although he didnt do much in the 70s and 80s he made a significant feat into popularizing the underground genre for hundreds and thousands of people [maybe millions] in the 90s.
