Mix Engineers (or Mastering) You Like???

So, now that I'm listening with a critical ear (or at least I think I am...), I've started picking songs out of albums or playlists that catch my attention with their particular style or affectations, and then I start to seek out more of that mix engineer's (/producer sometimes) work. Recently on a Tchad Blake kick. Who do you like?? And why?

I like that T Blake often creates a canvas using hard Left, hard Right, and Center as individual spaces for instruments, etc. It seems that it forces some decisions on stripped down instrumentation, but really opens up the creativity to make unique choices on what to do with those instruments because they do have so much room to roam. He's obviously very prolific, but the first album I noticed his style was Bonnie Raitt's "Fundamental" album.
