Who Are Your Top 5 Influences as a Producer?

[Aje]

This isn't a top 5 GOAT convo - although, I guess the list can translate as such - but who are the five producers that have influenced you the MOST?

*edit: doesn't necessarily have to be current producers - could be Quincy Jones or Prince or Jimmy Page. just the producers that have left a creative imprint in your production DNA.
