Best techno djs in the world?

Hey guys, I am trying to get used to this music and trying to work out who are the top djs in the world.

I found this article and wondering is any of you agree?

Nice to meet you all by the way. I'm Martin!

Holy shit that list is so fucking random

I never thought I'd see Villalobos and David Guetta on the same list.

He's not really the best anymore, but Richie Hawtin is a very important person in the world of techno, so you should check out at least some of his stuff for reference.

jesus h christ that list is so fn random. If you are asking about djs as pure djs live currently that is hard to answer but you will probably enjoy Carl Cox. But if you are asking about djs/producers and musicians as an all time question i would say the following are musts:

Richie Hawtin, Sven Vath, Carl Craig, Kevin Saunderson, Carl Cox, Derrick May, Joey Beltram. Probably forgetting a bunch of other guys but that covers probably most famous techno names in techno. Now based on that list you provided you might be asking about best djs in electronic dance music in general as the genre is much broader than just techno, which in the us has become an umbrella term for all of edm because of a random historical precedence.

Happy someone mentioned him.

OT: You have no clue on what techno is.
