There's a lot of artists who become inspired by other artists in the music scene today and I just wanted to know the 'Audiotool' users favorites and why?

Sorry if my grammar is bad, would one of the mods kindly edit this so that people don't become confused on what I'm talking about?

Thank you,

As far as my dubstep stuff goes I get inspiration from usually one person as I make a track. I usually make the reggae stuff after hearing another track like that for example. Just the vibe. For the past few months I've been drawing alot of inspiration from older releases from labels like DMZ, Tempa, but mainly Skull Disco.

Right now though my biggest inspiration is coming from the Kahn, Gantz, and Commodo record on Deep Medi. I hadnt listened to it in a while so when I did recently I just had the thing on loop.

actually producing around 3 years ago, listened to a lot of skrillex and wanted to make dubstep myself lmao. i don't really listen to dubstep anymore, but i'd say what inspires me the most today is probably hip hop (artists like frank ocean), and inspector dubplate (sorrow, ekcle).

Contemporary R&B probably.

Spyro. Cause he makes neat brosetppy UK Hardcore drops and he takes inspiration from everyone and their mother, meaning all of that goes to me :)
But honestly, the UK Scene as a whole is my inspiration and then it depends on who is in the mixes atm.

Oh, such a hard choice! I was really inspired by lots of artists such as Approaching Nirvana, Pegboard Nerds, many other artists under the Monstercat record label (which includes Pegboard Nerds), Veela (mainly vocals, but all her music is based for EDM), Stephen Walking, and many others. See, I'm pretty new to all this, hence the reason I have no songs yet. I am still learning, but I have spent many, many hours analyzing those artists and their songs. It is the whole style that really influenced my ideas!

No one artist really inspires me.
One good song might give me an idea
Another good song might give me a nice bass to work on
And yet another might make me change my song completely.
But the artist who inspired me to make music in the first place was legit skrillex or knife party lmao

they really specifically inspire my aesthetic and sound, but i still like to keep my personal touch within my work

2017-10-28 12:59 · 2017-10-28

Well, if you're talking about big named artists, then Martin Garrix, Hardwell, Skrillex, Juaz, Slushii, Borgous, San Holo.
but if you're talking about Auiotool users, then Vulkon, LOSTE, ★VoRTeriXeN★, Astronix, Xavi.
All these people inspired me because they do real EDM. The type of music where there's a buildup, then a big drop. They never have let me down on any track they have made. Also, this list is incomplete because there is still more people I know who inspire me, I just forgot who they were.

2017-10-28 13:00 · 2017-10-28

Also Stagefright inspires me too. I forgot his name. :)

2017-10-28 14:29 · 2017-10-28

MARTIN GARRIX :)

2017-10-28 14:57 · 2017-10-28

There was a list of artists that got me into music.
Skrillex was one of my first inspirations (as he has been for a few others)
After I listened to him, I found more artists similar to him (Flux Pavilion, Nero, etc.)
I kept branching out in EDM genres and found a whole lot of artists that were amazing to me, and I then decided to give it a shot

Well I started audiotool during the times where I mostly listened to monstercat
Then about a year later, i was brought to the beautiful world of lofi
and that really inspired me to make more chill music and stuff.

2017-12-12 21:20 · 2017-12-12

Really, the whole monstercat label as a whole (starting when i discovered them in 2012), but specifically, Pegboard Nerds, Deadmau5, Puppet, Grant, Tut Tut Child, Porter Robinson, Varien, DotEXE, Muzzy, Zedd, Avicii, Hellberg, Tristam... to name a few lol. it's hard for me to choose.
