Yanni has been influenced by Led Zeppelin's sound and blends elements of their musicality into his own compositions (Mettler, 2016). A common trait in their compositions is the combination of blues, folk, Celtic, Indian, and Arabic music (Britannica, 2024). Both composers employ the exciting element of solos in their compositions. Yanni demonstrates atmospheric keyboard solos, while Led Zeppelin is famous for its impactful guitar solos (Palmer, 2023).

Yanni's music has an influence from the rock band Black Sabbath (FAMOUS COMPOSERS, 2014). The thunderous intro with the didgeridoo and bass guitar in Yanni's 'Rainmaker' can be portrayed as a characteristic of Black Sabbath's dark sound (Last.fm, 2017).

Gramatik has adopted aspects of DJ Premier's production approach into his own compositions. (Red Light Management, 2019). A characteristic of Premier's beats is the use of short vocal samples combined with his beats (Hip Hop Golden Age, 2015). A similar approach has been taken by Gramatik, who shares that he uses something from every track and then combines it all into one puzzle (Molchanov, 2012).

Dr Dre

A rich and energetic sound is produced by the combination of complex percussion rhythms, precision snares, and special components that are identical to those used by Dr. Dre (GRAMATIK, 2017). There are similarities between Dr. Dre's Nuthin' But A G Thang and Gramatik's Muy Tranquilo in terms of both the beat composition and instrumentation.

With the knowledge of his jazz background, Guru became a prominent figure who bridged hip-hop and jazz (Factmonster, 2024). The influence of Guru's sample-driven production (Caramanica, 2010) can be clearly seen in Gramatik's instrumental track, 'Just Jammin'. There is a strong similarity between the tempo, instrumentation, and structure of "Full Clip" by Guru.
