The 20 Greatest EDM DJs: 20-11
 |
The Gaslamp Killer is a Low End Theory legend on the power of his aggressively heavy sets, characterized by sludgy beats, loads of whomp whomp bass wobble, jump cut samples incorporating everything from Jay-Z to the Star Wars soundtrack and a frenetically-energetic stage presence, characterized by a shit ton of head banging and myriad elastic facial expressions. Already beloved in the L.A. beat scene and beyond for such performances, he advanced his rep as a Brainfeeder darling with the September release of his excellent debut LP Breakthrough. Plus, the man can rock an iPad solo like no other. -Katie Bain

11. Charles Feelgood
Orange County's Charles Feelgood got his start in the Baltimore rave scene of the 1990s and has since become one of the nation's most beloved DJs. He plays house, house and more house -- mostly of the loopy, Daft Punk variety. There is rarely a better fan experience than soaking in a Feelgood set when he's rinsing cheeky bootleg mixes of the likes of Michael Jackson, Prince and whoever's at the top of the charts. -Dennis Romero
