OP, you can also check out some of the various documentaries on DJing, like Scratch or the newer Speaking In Code. These sources will happily tell you who the most influential DJs are, regardless of whether everyone agrees

i haven't really listened to them enough. I know that they are really more than inspirational in the industrial music scene (and beyond) but I've only really listned to '20 Jazz Funk Greats' in any detail. 'hot on the heels of love' is kinda techno if I recall correctly.

Chris and Cosey I think are worth some investigation as well too if my scoures are correct./ I should get around to verifying this.

well the throbbing gristle -> techno bridge is that genesis p. orridge claims he/she made the first real techno track, and now arch-nemesis fred gianelli, aka kooky scientist, who used to be in the band, claims its all his music and genesis did nothing except sing.

blah blah blah techno. its all about juan atkins anyways.

As a dj he was never all that, IMO

records and productions were legendary and "influential"

Wasnt kooky scientist in Psychic TV?

I saw him live, he gets down=))). had a few sick records.

Kraftwerk started it and Donna Sommer with "I feel Love"

you can go back endlessly with music I think. there's always something that triggered something and something that triggered that.

'i feel love' is wonderful music though.
