Well, to be really pretenciouse, the things that inspire me the most, in this order are.
Literature (I read a lot, and certain authors can put you in a certian mindset)
Non dance music. I tend to listen to anything but techno when I am not producing. My current listening includes Arvo Part, Brian Eno, Ennio Morricone, Toshinoro Kondo, and Der Eisenrost.
Film
and art (abstract expressionist painting more often than not. Both to go see at a gallery or to paint myself to relax and explor).
