Grown up with the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) game console, I get instant nostalgic chills when I listen to his 16-bit masterpieces.
Kikuo - his music is crazy detailed. It comes in such a nice harmony. Also, he's very flexible in terms of musical styles.

Frank Klepacki. He did the soundtracks for Dune2, C&C, etc. Love his industrial style, IMO he's the best game music composer ever. You can listen to a lot of his work here: http://www.frankklepacki.com/listen.html
My Top Three:

3. Tobu (and most of the NCS artists)

Wow! This was a Fun list to make. :)
Enjoy! :D
I look up to San Holo, and Aero Chord the most.
My inspiration is mostly Veorra. They make some damn hot Trap and dance music :)
My influences are so wide it's ridiculous. Currently I'm listening to the Dufay Collective, Steve Reich, Aphex Twin and Spiro. Next week it will probably be someone else ;).
