Well.. you found it.. the "links" page of every personal website ever created. these are sites and artists that inspire me to do what ever i do. I realize there are tons of awesome artists out there, but these are the one's i listen to most and also the ones who have their own web sites.

Woah.. i actually added some new artists that i've been into recently... and I haphazardly tried to classify them although many of them shift styles from different albums and tracks.. but i did my best...

I'm always looking for sites to add here.. so email me is you know of any.

awesome assortment of almost any type of electronic music. great high-quality real audio streams. i've been a listener for 5 years.	another great site where you can choose several live dj streams including video feeds.
2 stations, jazzybeats and housemusique. both excellent.	great new jazz and downtempo. music for couch potatoes.

ground breaking ambient abstract and noise masters. redefining what music is.	the long-time kings and masters of ambient and dub. they have taught me things i can not explain. my personal favorite for almost a decade.
one of the most inspirational and ground breaking musicians i have ever heard. this guy is off his rocker and i love it. not for the weak stomach at times :) the new album "druqks" takes beat manipulation to a new level.	i keep coming back to them.. they are absolutely 2 of the most talented musicians i know of. famous for their live isdn shows, the most emotional and mood-driving music out there. gods of samplers. by far the best downtempo/idm out there.
just discovered this artist recently. insane german experimental dance.	very fun to listen to, never serious and usually frivalous. featuring the singing computer boy band.. i love it.
