Best DJs and Producers
Who makes the hottest beats and keeps the clubs jumpin'? You pick in this top tens lists.
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 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.
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. 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.
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. This guy is the next Guetta. He is taking over DJ production.
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 Mix magazine in a poll voted by fans. In 2013, he was voted by DJ Magazine readers as the "best DJ of the last 20 years". Love his songs, but when he performs live, he freaking gets everyone hyped. I mean, really hyped.
Martijn Gerard Garritsen, known professionally Martin Garrix, is a Dutch DJ, record producer and musician. 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.
Kyrre Gørvell-Dahll, commonly known by his stage name Kygo, is a Norwegian DJ, songwriter, record producer and musician. 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.
The Chainsmokers are an American DJ and production duo consisting of Alex Pall and Andrew Taggart. The EDM-pop duo achieved a breakthrough with their 2014 song "#Selfie", which was a top twenty single in several countries.

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.
Christopher Comstock, known professionally as Marshmello, is an American electronic music producer and DJ.
The Newcomers
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.

He's the best of all time. He produced for the best rappers of all time.
Robbert van de Corput, who performs under the stage name Hardwell, is a Dutch big room house and electro house DJ and music producer. He's the world's best DJ ever.

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

He is regarded as one of the most influential, as well as controversial, artists of the 21st century... read more 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!
Best DJ ever on my side. He gave the most important contribution to a band. Hail LP...hail SOLDIERS!
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.
One of my favorite producers. So amazing, like what!

Williams and Chad Hugo make up the record production duo the Neptunes, producing soul, hip hop and R&B music. He created one of the most memorable beats of all time called Grindin'.

Thomas Wesley Pentz, better known by his stage name Diplo, is an American record producer, rapper, singer, songwriter and record executive based in Los Angeles, California. He is great because of his crossover between world music and dancehall.
Why isn't he higher? He's amazing and also he's in Major Lazer, who's great too.
Why is he here? He is clearly one of the best and most genius producers out there regarding EDM, trap, etc. He is also in Major Lazer and Jack Ü.
He's one of a kind! He's amazing and a genius! All his songs are wonderful! His taste in music is different, and it makes him a great producer, like ever!
Love his music. One of my all-time favorites.
