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.  

 

[TechnoNerdXD]

And your opinion on Daft Punk my good sir?

 

[Caladbolg]

Getting technical -
 
Skrillex nor deadmau5 are "DJ's". And Techno != EDM
 
 
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)
2.  Danger
3.  Boys Noize
4.  Ratatat
5.  Mux Mool
6.  Justice
7.  The Glitch Mob - (edIT)
8.  SebastiAn
9.  Just a Band - (Tom Deluxx)
10. Surkin
 
The bracketed artists are artists/bands that share members from those. 
Now Skrillex is quite good, my name is skrillex ep was fantastic, the reason that I like him is because his production skills are actually amazing. Sure there are people who call it noise, but he is actually very talented. 
 
Here are my top 10 favorite songs, in order:
1. Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (Alive 2007)
2. Danger - 88:88
3. Boys Noize - Jeffer
4. Boys Noize & Erol Alkan - Avalanche
5. Dj Mehdi - Signatune
6. Ratatat - Shempi
7. Justice - Waters of Nazareth
8. Just a Band - In Anima Villi
9. Mux Mool - Get Better John
10. Foreign Beggars - Still Gettin' It (Feat. Skrillex)

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. 
 
 

 

[schwallman]

Producers I like:
 
Specimen A
Pyramid
Far Too Loud
Mistabishi
Downlink
Metrik
 
I can go on forever.
 

 

[Caladbolg]

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.
