He is the world's best house producer. His songs are very meaningful. I love his songs like You, Wake Me Up, Puzzle, The Nights, The Days, etc. His melodies are also very unique and very nice. He is the only one who makes songs like life stories. He is the world's best DJ and the best melody producer ever to live. AVICII FOREVER.

Avicii is the best DJ I have ever seen. He produces such unique songs that have changed my life.

Best producer ever. He has been experimenting with all genres and hitting all the worldwide charts.

In 2011, Guetta was voted as the number one DJ in the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll. He is considered a pioneer of the EDM genre and has collaborated with... read more

Personally, the only reason why he is here is because he has made songs that have hit first almost everywhere on the planet. So far, not many producers have done that. So, David Guetta for the win!

Guetta, yeah. But where's Avicii and Skrillex? Never mind, I love his set and hope he can release more mixes.

He is amazing. Like this year, he came with two hits on the radio, and they are both sick with two good artists.

DJ Tiesto

Tijs Michiel Verwest, better known by his stage name Tiësto, is a Dutch DJ and record producer from Breda. He was named "The Greatest DJ of All Time" by Mixmag in a poll voted on by fans. In 2013, he was voted by DJ Magazine readers as the "best DJ of the last 20 years."

He was ranked the number one DJ in the world by DJ Mag in both 2013 and 2014. Hardwell is also the founder of Revealed Recordings and has headlined major music festivals... read more

He's the world's best DJ ever. I've never seen a person like him before. His mix catches my ears. Every day, I always hear one of his mixes, which makes me happy all day long. Nice work on Ultra Music Festival Miami, especially the Spaceman opening!

Best talented producer. He has done so many genres in music. Always been collabed with by underrated producers. He's the best.

Martin Garrix

Martijn Gerard Garritsen, known professionally as Martin Garrix, is a Dutch DJ, record producer, and musician. He gained international fame with his 2013 hit single Animals. Garrix has headlined major music festivals such as Tomorrowland and Ultra Music Festival.

I'm pretty sure Garrix belongs at least in the top 20. I mean, he did basically own Ultra 2015 with Tiesto.

Obviously the best. I've heard many of his songs. So cool.

I think Martin Garrix should be first, bro.

Deadmau5

Joel Thomas Zimmerman (also known as deadmau5) is a Canadian DJ and music producer. He previously worked as a web developer.

He produces a wide variety of electronic music genres, including electro, dubstep, progressive house, and electro‑house. He is best known for helping to popularize progressive... read more

Seriously? 11th?!? He should at least be in the top 5. With songs such as The Veldt or Strobe, Deadmau5 is the king.

Um, have any of you heard Ghosts 'n' Stuff, or perhaps Strobe or Raise Your Weapon? If you did, he'd be much higher than the 9th spot! He's like THE EDM KING.

Armin Van Buuren

One of the most influential producers of all time. Disappointed to see him at No. 53.

If you're into tropical house, this is the way to go.

Sophie Xion

The transgender producer who created the microgenre hyperpop and helped produce music for Charli XCX, Slayyyter, Kim Petras, Hannah Diamond, and so many more.
She even influenced Madonna for her song B I'm Madonna, which became one of her most famous songs of all time. She also had an influence on K-pop artists and bands of all kinds.
Sadly, she passed away after an accidental fall from her roof when trying to get a better view of the Moon. She was 34. Music will never be the same again. She was, without a doubt, among the best DJs and producers of all time and influenced music for the 21st century and Generation Z.
R.I.P. SOPHIE (1986-2021).

His drops just keep you jumping. His remixes are just amazing. And his collabs with other DJs are just truly awesome.
He deserves to be at least in the top 10. His drops are more juicy than David Guetta's drops. My favorite song is No Beef. It's just amazing. A collab with the two best DJs in the world equals an amazing song filled with amazing synths, vocals, and, of course, bass.

Had to have him on here. Also, his headphones are sick!

He's the best of all time. He produced for the best rappers of all time.

Dimitri Vegas

For me, he and his brother Like Mike are the best producers and DJs.
They make good music, and it's not every time the same sound or the same melody. Like in 2015, you got The Hum, a very good track, and then you got Higher Place, something really different, but this was again a great track. Tracks like Tremor, Ocarina, Mammoth, Arcade, Stay a While, and Hey Baby are different tracks with different melodies.
But then Complicated, a very great track, for me, had to be a hit.
For me, they're also great DJs because of what they can do with the people watching them. Perfect.

He is so creative, and to also rap just makes him that much better. Who cares about that Taylor Swift incident because she knows her video wasn't that hot. Beyonce did have the greatest video of all time!

Jonas Blue

DJ Kero

One of the hottest producers to come out of the 6-1-OH! He went to the same high school Kobe went to, Lower Merion High School.
