Kosmas Epsilon had some AMAZING tracks in the post-00s second rise of progressive house.

Right. So if you were to name 19 (?) producers as the best EDM has to offer, you'd name him?

Depends on the timescale. If i was to name the 19 best EDM producers EVER, obviously not, but if i was to name the 19 EDM producers that got big after 2000 i could possibly mention him. Ofcourse, in the current case most of the producers are quite old so i don't really know...(although i somehow get the feeling that the threadstarter mentioned EDM producers which were active and "Strong" in recent years despite the fact that some of them produce from 91).

a list without Chicane, Hybrid, Orbital, BT, John Digweed and Underworld is useless.
