Glad to see this thread didnt fall to the wayside. Aside from collecting possibilities for best artist, it is also a great way to expose yourself to music you may never had heard.



Id like to second (or third or...) the following nominations:

Marcus Andrew, Ned Sheppard, and Steve James (Digital Witchcraft) - N/A?

Julian Cobb (Hellfish) - Jet Powered Monkey Navigated Bird Breaks

Caspar Pound - N/A

Liam Howlett ( Responsible for The Prodigy) - Music for the Jilted Generation

CJ Bolland - "Analogue Theater," "Electronic Highway," among other albums i've not heard...

I already have. My fav is "Midnight Express - The Chase"

Moby
As much as he's constantly incorrectly referred to as Techno, he has certainly done a lot for EDM. Having started producing in the late 80s, his music is as diverse as it gets. Go, Next is the E, Feeling so Real, Voodoo Child (both the alias and the track), Mobility and many others are considered timeless classics by many. In addition, the Guinness Book of World Records named his Thousand single as the "fastest song ever recorded."

Taking a look at his releases, it's evident that he's more than willing to experiment with sounds. Acid-House releases in his earlier career, under U.H.F. and Voodoo Child, Hard Rock with his 'Animal Rights' album, and various Ambient releases including God Moving Over the Face of the Waters.

In 1999 he released his ever-popular album 'Play.' The album broke yet another record for Moby, as every song on it was used in a movie or television soundtrack. The album samples works from cassettes that he purchased when visiting the Southern states, and is sure to be a classic.


And the others, for reasons previously mentioned...

Digweed

I agree all the way. William Orbits "Pieces In A Modern Style" is amazing, definitely the most relaxed and well done remakes of classical music.

My other choice would have to be Paul van Dyk. Simply because he is an excellent producer and dj. Personally I think he's the number one DJ/Producer in the world.

And also, Cosmic Gate because anything they touch turns into gold. Their productions, and remixes are all astounding.
