Pole
Stefan Betke aka Pole is one of the most important and well known electronic music producers to emerge in the past decade. His first three albums ("1", "2", & "3"), released from 1998 to 2000 and packaged in solid blue, red, and yellow sleeves, are absolute stone-cold classics. Betke reissued these three sadly out-of-print albums as a box set on his own ~scape imprint (titled "1 2 3") in 2008, so they are once again available to the unfortunate souls who missed his timeless music the first time around. More recently, Pole released the "Steingarten" album on 2007, further developing his sound. He also did A&R for the critically acclaimed "Round Black Ghosts" compilations on ~scape, two collection of tracks that blur the line between dubstep and techno. Recently, Pole has taken things in a much more dancefloor direction while maintaining the Pole sound design and creativity we all love.
