Techno DJ's

double post

For me its Oakenfold by a longshot.

Sasha, Arman Van Buren, Tiesto are all up there too.  I also really enjoy Richard Humpty Vission, lays down some awesome mixes.  Skrillex? Pushing play on a MacBook isn't DJ'ing.  

Getting technical -

Skrillex nor deadmau5 are "DJ's". And Techno != EDM :P

Kaskade. His DJ status is debateable though.

Ok, yea first off "Techno DJ" isn't really the right term, but for now lets call them "Electronic/EDM Artists". So the fact that you said deadmau5 is crap, makes me really happy . So here are my top 10 favorite electronic artists, in order:

1.  Daft Punk - (Thomas Bangalter / Guy Manuel de Homem Christo / Together / Stardust / Crydajam / Darlin' / Le Knight Club)

Yea, I heard some of celldweller's stuff It was good. Yea skrillex is actually in my top 10 instead of Mux Mool, I didn't post it because his newer stuff, such as ruffneck, voltage, just his newer songs in general are getting a bit generic, and not as good. Kill Everybody, Rock N' Roll, & My Name is Skrillex. Are outstanding he is a very talented artist no question. But honestly Danger is so amazing its crazy listen to 09:19 and 88:88 his production in my opinion is world class, easily one of the most talented artists ever, better than Skrillex and getting dangerously close to being even better than Daft Punk. 

Avicii is by far and away the best EDM producer in the world right now.

Avicii is alright, but there is no way to call him the best. But I would like to hear you're opinion on why you think he is the best.

I still like most  skrillex tracks but they are all starting to sound the same.

Ive seen Dieselboy destroy venues a few times. Ive actually seen alot of lesser known DJs blow some places up before the headliner even showed up. 

Producers I like:

Specimen A

Pyramid

Far Too Loud

Mistabishi

Downlink

Metrik

I can go on forever.

For those who like dubstep, check out 23. Guy's definitely got some skill.

Zomboy does Skrillex better than Skrillex :)

They've always been a sampling group.  Like Fatboy Slim, they make a lot of good music that mixes well into, however, never really liked them.  I really do like the Alive performances though.
