3. Little Bitchard & Mel Funktion
5. Randy

in no particular order :
LB
Reed
Keito
Dune
Yolk

Audiomonster (Melon Design)

radix
xerxes
nighthawk
dfast
reed

off the top of my sunday afternoon drunken head...

active ones...

1. Little Bitchard & Mel Funktion
2. Loogbeer (or however its called)
3. Gloom (the miserable git)
4. That guy who does the SFC GBA songs
5. Some other guy who's name I can't recall at this moment in time

oh yes, Loaderror and Reeed also

"That guy who does the SFC GBA songs" == Dixan (...and Lug00ber on the second part music of "Matt Current").

also Virgill, Chromag, Xtd, Scorpic, Dreamer, Reed
:)

Agree with Magic, but changing Romeo Knight for Audiomonster :). More or less, legends all of them.

new kids on the bootblock : LB, dune, yolk, raytrayza, a-move

old arpeggiated farters : Jeroen Tel/MON, JCH/Vibrants, Future Freak/Dexion (Kim Christensen), YIP/Purebyte (Jori Olkkonen, underrated as FUCK), Johannes Bjerregaard/DMC

damn forgot uncle tom, mantronix&tip, soul, groo and heatbeat

jester/sanity and captain

A little bit strange that Dizzy wasn't mentioned yet, but i won't either as he isn't one of my top 5 :D
