Throbbing gristle
Devo
Godflesh
Skinny Puppy
kraftwerk
Dead Kennedys
early Swans
early Metallica (sad what they became when Cliff died!)

New influences as well, but those are what got me hooked.

Glitch mob at the moment, being really spun at a party, Venetian Snares, Otto, Doormouse, AFX, Squarepusher, MrOizo, Meat Beat Manifesto, Simon Posford stuff, Ol Dirty Bastard, modeselektor, FSOL, GRATEFUL DEAD, and most important To me is the psychedelic experience, the most influencing of my sound.

Hendrix. Tricky. Early stuff for both. Without them, I wouldn't have bothered trying to make my own music. These two made me feel like I could do something important musically... not because these pro's weren't good, but because they didn't have a classical background.

Hendrix:
because, self taught, he took a regular guitar, flipped it upside down, altered the fingering, and yet still made music that I think is relevant today... awesome.

Tricky:
he made his first 2 albums using a crappy Yamaha QY10 as a recording tool. All he did in the studio was add vocals? And yet "Maxinquaye" became a platinum hit?.... awesome.
