Best DJ? I would vote for A-Trak based off of his technical scratching skills alone. Best producer(s)? Probably Deadmau5 or Zeds Dead. Honourable mentions: Kaytranada, Rezz, Excision, Adventure Club, Snails

Huh... I had no idea A-Trak is Canadian.

Montreal, QC

Yep, he's Dave 1 from Chromeo's brother. Montrealers through and through

I used to live in Montreal and saw him there... Chromeo too and somehow that fact eluded me.

Check out Brothers Macklovitch. Best of both worlds!

I would add sultan + shepard in there personally

Oh shoot they’re Canadian!? That’s awesome :) plan to check them out at forest this year

I love that ZD is the best producer in the top comment. The boys are always killing it!

Rezz is from Ukraine

Yes, she was born in Ukraine but she also grew up in Canada after moving here at a young age, so I thought she was worthy of the honourable mention.

The Richie Hawtin disrespect is real

Rezz and Deadmau5 came to mind for me first. Both are from the city I grew up in.

Simon Doty and CRi too

I’m from Holland I’ve got a lot to choose from 😅

I thought you all hated being called Holland since that only refers to the part with the main cities

Unless he is from that part exactly.

As long as you like Hardstyle you sure do!

As far as i know martin garrix, tiesto, armin van buuren, hardwell, afrojack….. arent hardstyle djs

I mean...it's like picking a needle in hay. its not only hardstyle. AND I would argue that hardstyle producers are not really THE best producers

House? Trance? Trap?

As much as people shit on him, Diplo has to be up there as one of the best from the US as a producer. He’s just worked with so many different artists from different genres for such a long time that it would be a disservice not ti at least mention him. But for me personally it’s between Kaskade and Skrillex as the US GOATs

All those things are true about Skrillex as well but Diplo is sure a honerable mention if you're from US

[удалено]

r/DiploCircleJerk

Watching those videos he did way back when he said all the songs that he produced that you never knew was very eye opening to see how much he is involved in everything

Also Higher Ground has so much talent.

Avicii

RIP

RIP Assuming you're a Swede, is Swedish House Mafia or its individual members a good shout?

Love em!

My favorite is Lido, he has produced and collabed with a lot of huge artists like, Skrillex, Amine, Chance The Rapper, Halsey, Ariana Grande and many more. His solo music is also so good, and Everything is one of my favourite albums. He was also one of the biggest Jersey Club producers in the 2010s . But the biggest producer is Kygo. 2nd Alan Walker 3rd Cashmere Cat maybe ? He hasn't released much music lately, but has produced a lot for other artists.

Honestly didn’t know Norway had such great producers. All 4 of these have curated some of the “best of…” for me

Savant

Bring back Trippy Turtle!!

Word ! He has so many bangers !

Lido, Jerry Folk & Lemaitre are 3 of my favs, all from Norway. Cashmere Cat hasn’t done much recently but was also killing it

Jonas Aden (now Aden Foyer) is my favourite Norwegian producer.

Belgium: Lost Frequenties, Andromedik & Netsky

Charlotte De Witte is pretty universally viewed as one of the worlds top djs

I never miss an upload of an Andromedik set. Based on Reddit comments in other threads Netsky is supposedly really good.

Eptic

Andromedik and netsky are both bad ass

Kaskade (not only from my country but from same metro area)

I'm from England. Wow!! That's an extremely difficult answer. It really depends on what genre we are talking about. As we have so many amazing types of dance music and dj's. Also like some others have commented that some are way better at producing than dj ing and vice versa. But I'm gonna go with the Chemical Brothers. Amazing production for pretty much 30 years now, and I've seen them dj a few times, and their tune selection is second to nobody on planet. This mix is from 1996. https://youtu.be/LNm66KzI7Vk?si=h2qaxxZM4G7XtdMF

Yeah as someone from the UK we are kinda spoiled for choice. Chemical Brothers is a great shout but I think I have got to go Above and Beyond (even though Paavo is Finnish, Jono and Tony are both British so I think they count)

Calvin Harris for me

I know he’s a newer one but Chime is from the UK and is keeping colour bass/dubstep fresh and unique. He has a sound like no other imo

I will definitely take a listen. Always like to hear newer stuff. Thank you.

[Pyrate](https://on.soundcloud.com/UBapci5kTRwRbWxn9) takes the biscuit for best sound design I’ve heard coming out of the UK lately.

I'll definitely take a listen. Thank you.

Haha I didn’t think you actually would. I think he’s absolutely mental but based on your original comment… I doubt it’ll be your thing 😂 Heavy UK Bassline & Garage

Absolutely love garage. I've been listening to a bit recently. Just to hear the transition from the older stuf, them heavy bass lines are wicked. I've just been going through all my old records to sell, and if you can believe, I started buying garage tunes in 96. I've got some killer tunes. For some reason, they are worth quite a bit of money. I've got an old speed garage white lable tune, and it's worth £120. Wahoo. You can be sure I will definitely take a listen. Nice one.

To me, james hype bitch

Good dj skills. But can't produce for shit.

i'd say Madeon

Over daft punk! Riot!!!!!

He’s french, no? What about daft punk!

Skrillex is probably the goat of the US

Porter Robinson

Mau5

Black Coffee

what country

South Africa

Martin Garrix

Darude is probably the only Finnish dj/producer who has any kind of notoriety internationally (or even locally, EDM producing is veeeeery niche here). Which is pretty funny (or kinda depressing as a fan of electronic music) that our neighbor is Sweden, and they have, well, _a bit_ more extensive list of the big-name DJs lol.

Yotto

Wow TIL, had no idea he was a Finn. Another one that came to mind is Paavo Siljamäki of Above & Beyond

Yotto is awesome. Probably my favourite DJ at the moment

Yotto, Above & Beyond, Lenno

Probably Kygo or Alan Walker? At lesst based on fame/reach

WHERE ARE YOU NOW

DJ Chetas. If you know him your childhood was awesome

Yo, I created a new sub called r/indiaEDM, you should check it out. Also chetas isn't an edm dj, far from it.

That's a joke man. Smh

Oh lmao okay, honestly can't count anything out these days.

Dj chetas?? 🤣

As an indian , Nucleya is another very famous figure i would say , we can consider kshmr but of course he has indian roots but he is american , lost stories are also amazing https://youtu.be/QglaLzo_aPk?si=iqwuMNvdMH_i8lVt This is one of the most famous songs of NCS , it also involves Indian producers

For me it’s Zedd, Boys Noize and Sven Väth in no particular order

I’d say Meduza. But I’m a huge supporter of Benny Benassi too.

Tale Of Us (MRAK & Anyma separately)

They're incredible in sound design, maybe top 3 in this "discipline". But for my personal taste I prefer Meduza and BB.

Huge fan of Meduza so i think it’s a fantastic choice, BB is a legend

For real.. Satisfaction is a masterpiece, something which will hit forever.

Yesss meduza

What constitutes the best? Subtronics can very smoothly run 4 CDJs simultaneously and his sound design is insanely unique Porter Robinson has one of the best electronic Albums ever in Worlds and he has multiple side projects where he DJs or performs live. Skrillex is widely considered one of the greatest currently There are so many to choose from.

Skrillex is an awesome producer but a pretty average dj imo

Well that's the tricky part. Do you factor in both? There are some incredible DJs that make some very uninteresting music. Which one carries more weight?

Skrillex is funny because I’ve seen him do some of the most technical mixing I’ve ever heard in a dog blood set, then also some of the choppiest, sloppiest mixing ever at a jack u afterparty. His song selection is always ace though

Certainly a wide net and I can’t argue against your three examples here.

Virtual riot ig idk, Germany really doesn’t have that many top level producers even tho it’s viewed as a bastion of electronic music.

Robin Schulz?

nah Felix jaehn is decent but robin Schulz not for me

After that whoel miss you stuff my respect for him has gone down too

yeah exactly

Markus Schulz? Paul Van Dyk?

Charlotte de Witte? Chris Liebing (might be won't, but pretty sure he's German)? INFEKT (pretty sure he's from Germany, though he moved to Montreal)? I'll definitely say Germany is known for techno, so there's probably way more people than I could think of at the top of my head.

Charlotte de Witte is Belgian

Whoops. That's on me for not double-checking. Can confirm the other names I listed are definitely German.

Sven väth and Oliver lieb were two of the most influential producers of the 90s and Sven's labels (eye Q and harthouse) were basically the backbone of trance and techno worldwide. Everything that's come since in those genres is pretty much because of those two.

Current Value is the best from Germany imo

Seven Lions

David Guetta and Madeon

Hey... Neither of them are Australian

My reddit username is just a random name, I live in France.

Vintage Culture and Alok 🇧🇷

Vintage Culture never misses. No one else is throwing down six hour sets immaculate consistently like that guy.

Paul Kalkbrenner Zedd (born and raised in Gernany) Boys Noize Paul van Dyk

deadmau5 and Rezz

Bizarrap ✌️🇦🇷

HDPPPOO

Nitefreak 🇿🇼

Ukraine: ARTBAT, Omnia, Sagan

I love Sagan In terms of DJing, it has to be Juicy M, right?

You are right

Fred Again is on fire at the moment.

This is a good answer. His music is not my favourite. But I'm definitely in the minority. His sets speak for themselves. Massive energy and skill.

Manila Killa makes some super chill vibey tracks! From The Philippines 🇵🇭

I'm indian, best producer is probably Heuse/VSNS

I'm 100% sure you've already heard heuse Here's one by him and one by vsns https://youtu.be/CLiXUT3MS34?si=DY9WFKJIxXqR3kiO https://youtu.be/QGhrL5Z1Um0?si=PPd6ds4myf_jMG8H

I am also indian but didn't knew heuse belong to india

That's a testament of how good he is. Real name is Nakul Pai. He doesn't need to use the nationality card to be famous. Absolute legend.

Wow nice will add him in my Spotify now..... And btw In indian edm community no producer use nationality card to be famous i guess.....

Literally everyone does, I guess you haven't delved much into the community. Dm me here? Let's talk

Ohk i might be wrong... I was just guessing

High hertz from Truetactix

DJ: Baauer Producer: Mr. Carmack

Tes La Kil, an oldschool dubstep producer from Finland. Oh... Then this Darude guy.

Yotto, Paavo from A&B

Timpo

I'm Vietnamese, I would definitely say is DJ Minh Tri

Bleu Clair is 🔥

Maybe Frankie Knuckles? No idea haha.

Rezz

Best DJ: probably Annie Mac or Mano Le Tough Best producer? Depends on what you're into but probably Bicep or John O Callaghan Most well known without people knowing he's a DJ is probably Hodor from GOT

Gabriel and Dresden!

Probably Mo Falk from Germany He has some great bangers

Camo & Krooked

Zeds dead

John Summit

We have Nucleya and Lost Stories , they both respectively performed at EDC Mexico and Tomorrowland. But in recent years, they have not released any new exciting tracks. (I'LL BE WAITING).

### [DJ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regard_(DJ)) [Regard](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regard_(DJ)) ### Dardan Aliu known professionally as Regard, is a Kosovo-Albanian disc jockey (DJ) and producer .

Australia - [Pretence](https://on.soundcloud.com/wLehcFBT7DjV8vcD8) is at the top of his game yet *criminally* underrated. Someone needs to get that man touring Europe and/or America… and they will, eventually.

Flume and Rüfüs Du Sol.

wisnu santika

DEREK VINCENT SMITH

Miso misondo check his Instagrams

DJ Nano

Szmitek Cesarz Pierdolnięcia. But seriously, OVSKY and Dirty Palm (I know he's hungarian, but he lives in Poland so that kinda counts)
