Hehe. For anyone who likes doing their top track charts, lets see some charts here - your favourite artists/producers of all-time.
- pleave avoid multiple artist aliases, place others in brackets
beside the most notable alias of that artist in your opinion.
Rank Artists based on productions, mixing, overall quality of
music, favourite tracks, number of favourite tracks, influence on you in the music scene, etc.
...
Please do not confuse "artist/producer" with "DJ". DJ Skills should
compliment, not shape the artist in your list.
It was easier for me to do top 100 artists that top 100 tracks, since it is a lot of work going through my long collection.

that list is really really good Floorfiller. Although I would throw in Martin Freeland (Man With No Name) and Ben Watkins (Juno Reactor).
Both are true pioneers and have done lots and lots for the EDM scene. |

Just curious Jason, why did you not put Sasha on there?
Do you credit Charlie May and others for his named productions or is Sasha and his productions just not worthy of being in your top 60?
Not offended by it or anything, it's just weird because it seems like you would put him on it when you've got Bedrock, Charlie and the like in there. |
