Best DJs of 2013

There are a lot of lists on the web of the best DJs in the world in all sorts of categorys or decades, but here's a list of the greatest mainstream DJs currently active. These are the best selling and the most popular around the globe.
The Top Ten
1 Hardwell Robbert van de Corput, who performs under the stage name Hardwell, is a Dutch big room house and electro house DJ and music producer.

Highly overrated. Before you down this crap out of this (cause I know he has a lot of fans) hear me out. First off, google Maarten Vorwerk considering he makes a lot of the beatport top 100 tracks that you guys all love. Secondly; as a person that listens to a lot of EDM (trance with a touch of the W&W stuff), it is apparently obvious that hardwell does not produce a lot of the tracks that he releases. Notice almost ALL of his collaborations he is in sound nearly identical to the collaborators sound. The tracks where this is especially obvious are How We Do - Showtek, Dynamo - Laidback Luke, Jumper - W&W (Come on this one is so bloody obvious, go listen to any W&W track since the code). I also hate to say this but there are photos of Hardwell playing his ultra set and all of the faders are down, as well as none of the CDJs being linked together. Just listen to the differences in his ultra miami set and his ultra europe set. The ultra europe set sounded like it was mixed by a 12 year ...more

His Music inspired me from killing myself because I've been getting bullied in my school a lot lately and without his music I wouldn't be alive right now. Thank you Hardwell if your reading this. You are the best dj I know and I will be attending you gig at El Paso, TX on August 14th. Hopefully I will get a chance to talk to you.

Sincerely, Kevin Elgirus

THIS GUY INSPIRED ME TO BECOME A DJ. "Follow me", "Young again", "Spaceman" and this which I can never forget, "Apollo"! This guy has changed the track of my life. He has totally changed my taste in music. So creative and unique and amazing songs which make you feel nostalgic! And as they say, I love HARDWELL!

Hardwell is number 1!

2 Avicii Tim Bergling (September 8, 1989 - April 20, 2018), better known by his stage name Avicii, was a Swedish electronic musician, DJ, remixer and record producer. He is best regarded for his work in Electronic Music during the 2010s in which his works have charted among the Top 40 Radio and for his influence ...read more.

By far the most creative and talented EDM producer this world has ever seen. I can't mention any other Dj/producer that can compete with Aviciis genuine, unique tracks. He has really set some of the standards to house music, starting with levels and from there on continuing, most recently with fantastic "wake me up" and "hey brother, hey sister" where he combines country with house in a truly spectacular way! He's the man.

I find his songs different to most these days. They seem to have that extra touch to them. Plus they seem to have more meaning. I just love his songs.

Seen him live and he is amazing!

Seen him live and he amazing and I got all his remix on my phone

3 David Guetta Pierre David Guetta is a French DJ, songwriter, record producer and remixer who has sold over nine million albums and thirty million singles worldwide. In 2011, Guetta was voted as the number one DJ in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll.

He is not much talented. He collaborates with popular R&B singers and makes hits.
Just listen to his songs like Paris, Glasgow and Vienna which have no lyrics and he has performed solo. It makes your ears bleed. His tunes are repetitive which go unnoticed due to the vocals.
Strict no no no... if you really know a word or two about electronic..

The best of what he can do and giving and producing beats is his way of saying... 'I am the best of what I can do'
He has enspire me a lot and he's the reason that techno is all about.. David Guetta... Your my Hero and Ill never stop listing to your music

I think David Guetta is a great DJ since he has a great taste in music and all of his songs are different and good in there own way. I think David Guetta is awesome please get 1st in best DJ for 2014.
From Bella Good Luck!

It Is The Biggest King Of The World Of Dj And He Is Very Very Good From Remix Of Music. I Love Just One Last Time And Other.

4 Calvin Harris Adam Richard Wiles, known professionally as Calvin Harris, is a Scottish DJ, record producer, singer, songwriter and remixer. He is known for his hit singles like Summer, This Is What You Came For and How Deep Is Love.

CALVIN YOU ARE THE BEST DJ THAT CAN EXIST IN THIS WORLD. ALL THOSE DJs BEFORE ARE NOTHING. YOU ARE THE BEST, SEXIEST, HOTTEST AND THE MOST HANDSOME AND ATTRACTIVE MAN ALIVE, I LOVE YOU!

The new tunes that Calvin Harris brings in every new song is amazing... He knows what all is required to rock a party!

Simply Amazing Dj, getting almost all the singles on 18 months album in top 10 UK charts... (Only Michael Jackson achieve that, but now it was surpass by Calvin Harris)

There's no doubt that he is the greatest DJ in the world.. He also make a credits to some artist.

5 Swedish House Mafia Swedish House Mafia is a Swedish house music supergroup consisting of Axwell, Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso.

One of the band that who brought the House music back, and made it to one of biggest music genres right now.
With the most awesome djs (Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello) that makes so many good songs solo to.

They are the best ever, aren't like David Guetta they do not already recognized artists to make a hit track. My boys are natural.

The best, there is no adjetive available to describe how great they are; (obviously un der the best french house dj robots DAFT PUNK

They were and will always be the best. I would like to go on a concert. But too late. Next to Armin they are the best.
Avicii is very good too!

6 Skrillex Sonny John Moore (born January 15, 1988), known professionally as Skrillex, is an American EDM producer who is known for popularizing dubstep. He is part of the bands Jack Ü (DJ) and From First To Last (Lead Singer). His album Recess debuted at 4 on the BB200, tying him with Zedd for the highest debut for an EDM album on that chart. He is best known for Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites, Bangarang, Kill Everybody, Mind, and Where Are Ü Now, and is well known for his "mop like hair". He has created multiple albums and songs besides the ones he is best known for, he has also been in contract with multiple record labels including Atlantic Records, Mau5Trap, Asylum Records, and more.

Skrillex is the best by far I don't know why he is not first cause he is truly the best and "I LOVE HIM"i mean I worship this man I know every single song he has ever made like really I know all his songs off by heart beacause he is just so realaxing to listen to and no one can ever drop the bass like skrillex

He's just great and his songs are marvelous. Nobody can compose music like him especially "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites". Skrillex must be first here. But why the peoples are not voting to this guy! His style and his style of compositions are just great. He's awesome.

Love him especially wild for the nights and right in please every one should vote for him he is the best I really want to meat him no ones like him! And he is so rock I want to put my hair just like his and his logo is the bomb!

Skrillex is the best on Earth, some people just say's that is just noise but dubstep is an art, Skrillex has won 3 grammy's and has his own label, in 1 year he has been performing for over 80 times, that's why he has to be in first place for all this efforts.

7 DJ Tiësto

Best of the best dj ever Tiesto Keep Going man!

Best DJ in the world and will be "DJ TIESTO"

Tiesto you are the best dj I have ever seen I am your fan number one and I would like to go to one of your conserts that's my dream and I want to be like you when I grow up

I think dj tiesto is the best in the world and I would do anything to see you play it would make my day it would brighten up my life

8 Armin van Buuren Armin van Buuren is a Dutch remixer, music producer, DJ, musician, pianist and songwriter from South Holland.

I don't care what anyone else says this man right here Armin Van Buuren is the greatest Master DJ I the entire world. The way he can touch the spirit the mixes and beats is absolutely out of this world quality. Almost each and every album brings something new, and has been with me through the toughest times in my life. Thank you very much Armin and keep produce crystal clear quality!

You have my vote
DJ Casey-RSA

I think he has the best music:) it's not because Trance is one of my favorite type of music, it's just that I really think his songs have sense:) I'm not saying the other DJ's don't have great music, it's just that I think that with his music you "eargasm" every time.

9 Nicky Romero

'i could b the 1'... 'like home',... Etc... This dude on fire!

Great dj... Greatest at tomorowland 2013!

Hardwell isn't so good I prefer nicky romero

His music is amazing and started by playing drums

10 Deadmau5 Joel Thomas Zimmerman (a.k.a. deadmau5) is a Canadian DJ producer, formerly a web developer, who produces a wide variety of electronic musical genres, such as electro and dubstep, but is best known for popularizing work in the areas of progressive house and electrohouse, along with the genres themselves. ...read more.

DeadMau5 you are the best DJ I have ever listened too you inspired me when I was 5 years old I started drawing you on papers and now I made good hats that you have and I always wear the red one someday I want to try what you because if you keep making music my life keeps building up never quit carry on at what you do best buddy never let yourself down my favorite songs from you are hi friend all the ghosts and stuff or whatever and animal rights like I said never ever quit

Deadmau5 must be in the top 3. Have you heard his songs? He made 270 of them (and more to come) in 9 years! Skrillex shouldn't even be in the top 10. His songs are okay, but he only made 70 in 6 years. If you compare, Deadmau5 has made more and better songs than Skrillex in one year. Deadmau5 made an average of 30 songs a year, and Skrillex made an average of 11-12 songs per year.

He is not really a dj because he programs his music but he is the best producer and the true definition of playing live, he actually works live unlike most others which just come with a usb and play the track.

This guy is awesome. he's born in Niagra Falls, likes Minecraft and goes to every single MInecon. He also met with famous Minecraft YouTuber BebopVox! Also, I'm a very huge fan of his and his very young age. I never get tired of his music. He also creates music with Kaskade!

The Contenders
11 Alesso

ALesoo is the best one love you good work Alessandro

Alessos music is the best one, he always creates something new! He deserves to be DJ Number 1

Just like when Alesso live perform, he always make good mix for everyone who listen him 'mixing' & for every second, he makes AMAZE everyone!

Alesso is 10X better than David Guetta

12 Zedd Zedd is a Russian- German DJ known for his hits such as Clarity, Transmission, and Break Free. He is best known for his album True Colors, which has the highest debut on the Billboard 200 for an EDM album (tied with Skrillex's Recess). He is one the the richest EDM artists in the industry.

At first, I was thinking, "Who is Zedd? " After I hear his album - Clarity, I know that he's one of the World best upcoming DJ! He got talents! Everybody should hear his mix! I bet you guys will fly to outer space! Laugh out loud, salute to Zedd. He'll be one like Hardwell, Nicky Romero, Avicii, David Guetta! Can't wait for the concert!

This guy is going to be huge, major talent and expansive background in classical music!

Great talent! Clarity is a great album, Epos definitely rocks! He should be more known!

Only heard 4 songs I want you to know, clarity, stay the night and break free

14 Daft Punk Daft Punk was a French electronic music duo consisting of producers Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter.

Daft Punk have produced some seriously good music and is the inspiration for many of these DJ's. These guys deserve to be in the top 5 at least for their many amazing albums filled with outstanding tunes.

Daft punk deserve a best position because the duo has working much much time to make a good song now with the sucess of Get Lucky one more reason to be in a best position.

Daft punk have changed the face of electronic music they should be so much higher than this

This was the year of Daft Punk's comeback! How can they not be at number 1?
