Hum thats a hard decision! I would say oakenfold because everyone knew about him first but i dont' think he made it what it is today i would say mauro piccotto or tiesto probably, just cause they are such big names ??? i vote tiesto

Tiesto?! what the hell are you people smoking!?

sure he is great...but he just doesnt have the history to be considered a major trend setter.

If you didnt already know...Oakenfold helped to name Tiesto as a big up and comer, which means he was discovered, he didnt make his own way.

Has to be Oakey. He has worked with some of the biggest stars in the world to help bring EDM to the forefront, to where it is today.

EDM producers are now even being asked to help do movie scores, which ofcourse Oakey help start.

No problems with the others, Picotto, PVD, Sasha and diggers, they all deserve their place.

err... Frankie Knuckles... Frankie Bones.

I voted Okaenfold.

I go with mauro...he sucked everyone in as the lizard man, and appealed to everyone in EDM back in da day...and now he's off with his crazy techno SHIAT!!! i like his new stuff, but i'd love to hear another song by him like komodo, proximus, iguana etc...

I voted for S&D.

It was a toss up between that and PVD.

I find that S&D have changed with the scene and are always bringing in new elements. Like what Sasha is doing with Involver. That is some wikkid shit. And Sasha also brought us Zabiela which he recognized had something to offer the world.

PVD, was my other choice for the same reason and also for his unique style that no one can match.

I said Tiesto, just because his name is thrown around a lot more and making a lot more people curious about the music, i also put that i thought oakenfold was the big one but tiestos names is well known by alot more people these days!

it wasn't the action of one single DJ.

it was the combined work of ALL artists so it's really not fair to recognize one and not the others.
