What inspires you ?

[Remade]

old people diggin through the garbage container are my inspiration. they always seem to find something in there. i call it reinterpretation and reinvention of food.
also some kids who play star trek in front of my window all day long

[karlo]

horror movies :lol: i realy like deepest scenes from the main parts thats good for deep hard techno

[Col]

well the biggest inspiration for me is music (usually of the electronic variety) & the scene that evolves from it.

add to that, architecture, art in general, hammer horror movies, the weather, and many other natural spectacles/occurances, and that pretty much rounds things up on my part.

i must give a special mention to the wonderful city of leeds too.

[MangaFish]

drugs :lol: ;)



not really. i find insperation in everything, but usually it comes from when i hear someone do something badly, i wonder if i can pull it off better.

i also love to play about with genres. writing tunes that cross genre boundaries that perhaps shouldnt be crossed. most of the time what i produce and mix is complete garbage. but i have fun doing it

Inspiration?

The biggest inspiration for me and Chrissi to get in the studio is hearing one of our records out and thinking OMG I can't believe we made this. It happened this weekend at a party I played in Belgium (an old track we did on Chris McCormack's Embryo label). Needless to say there will now be a studio marathon for the next two weks ;)

I find that simply playing out every weekend is not enough inspiration to get in the studio. These days I'm so knackered until Wednesday. Everything becomes a norm and we feel so uninspired. I think that you need a kick up the ass to get in the studio.

[Alan Oldham]

I don't know, man, after you play a bangin'-ass party with a wild crowd, the tracks are in your head waiting to get out. There have been times tracks have stayed in my head the whole plane ride home from Europe 'till I got back to the studio.

Then again, I got completely burnt out on production in 2002 and am just now getting back into it so I hear you on being knackered.

[gunjack]

what is really inspiring for me is writing a bunch of loops in my spare time, then sitting down one day with a spliff and a ton of NEW loops and having no stress or pressure to rush.

[miss bass]

You know who musically inspired me in many wyas while growing up so far.

the SPECIALS.

I can still listen to their album and be like ****ing hell thats is AMAZING!!!

Musically and lyrically!!!!!

They covered every social/political issue you can think of.
Musically, we are talking about collaboration of black and white people making ska/ reggae music, but it is meaningfull music. Each tune has its own x factor and is different in some way, and some of the small riffs/ basses and rhythms they used...... :love: :love: :love: :love:

[miss bass]

Also,

Erikah Badu is inspiring as a vocalist what a beautiful voice .

Queens of the Stonage / Muse also musically/ lyrically :clap:

Klashenkopf as a rapper amazing.

Speedy j/ cari lekebusch / fumiya Tanaka/ Inigo Kennedy/ Surgeon also cool producers

I could go on forever
