This dude is famous as one-third of Swedish House Mafia, but on his own he’s still a tour-de-force. With summery-sounding anthems like “Show Me Love” and “Everytime We Touch”, he plays perfect beach rave music.
Go if you: Love sitting on your boyfriend’s shoulders wearing neon and just can’t handle Swedish House Mafia’s split.
Nicky Romero
Nicky Romero
This Dutch DJ and producer is an EDM mainstay who has collaborated with David Guetta, Tiësto and Calvin Harris to create adrenaline-pumping festival tunes like “Toulouse” and “I Could Be the One”.
Go if you: Are serious about EDM, because Romero regularly delivers goosebump-inducing beats.
Martin Garrix

The baby of the bunch, this 18-year old is making waves in the EDM world. Best known for tracks like “Animals” and more recently, “Wizard”, this boy wonder is ranked fourth in DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJs. Plus, the Dutch teen is quite the looker. (Not that we’re cradle-snatchers.)
Go if you: Want to fangirl someone more hardcore than One Direction and love jumping and fist-pumping all night long.
Above & Beyond

Don’t be fooled by the lack of hair on this English electronic dance trio. They’ve stood the test of time since getting together in 2000. Consistently ranked on DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJs, they’ve got a unique brand of dreamy tunes mixed with sing-a-long, beat-heavy anthems.
Go if you: Have been a long-time fan and love the more downtempo but ethereal approach their dance numbers offer.
Richie Hawtin
Richie Hawtin
This English-born Canadian electronic DJ is a bit of an outlier with his minimal techno beats, but he’s got plenty of festival experience after gracing stages like Ultra Miami. He’s also been a huge influence on Detroit techno’s second wave music scene.
Go if you: Like consistent beats and minimal sounds. The man’s not one for vocals.
