I must admit I'm old school. I bartended DJ Icey's birthday party that Micro threw for him in Dallas a few years back. I'm disheartened by the decline of America DJs on the world music scene (as a whole - a few have really stepped up, but not enough).

It's tough to keep up with world scene. Like you said, there are a few guys -- I'll toss out Diplo as another guy that I like quite a bit -- but when Russia is churning out EDM producers faster than female tennis players, it's gonna be an uphill battle for sure.

No way Showtek should have fell out. You are way off on Tiesto also, he has been a pioneer for many years and is still turning out ridiculous tracks on a number of labels. Avicii is not number one. Top 5 Yes. Not 1. You are letting your favorites skew reality which is Trance is hell of a lot bigger across the world and Armin is the guy and will be as long as he is Prodcuing/DJing ...

Also, if you really want to go toe to toe on DJs because of your affinity for Avicii, I would say that Nicky Romero had a better year overall. This is funny because these 2 collabed on a few songs last year and all of them were bangers. Here is Nicktim

As for my personal favs. Dash Berlin and Hardwell are probably where they should be imo (Easily My Favorite 2 Producers right now). I like Afrojacks style but no way should he be that high.

Headhunterz really surprised me only because Hardstyle turns so many people off BUT IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE GENRE BAR NONE!

Also you could def make a case for Dada and LBL to both be higher.

Overall good list but is definitely skewed towards European vibes. Which makes sense because the list is a lot bigger over there then it is here.
