OMD Skrillex and Deadmau5. Me and my friend are fans of Skrillex lol. But Levels by Avicii (and Skrillex's cover, mind you) deserve a mention.

I love Skrillex's music. I can't wait for him to release the Voltage album. Although, I much prefer his older stuff. As in the solo era. Mora #2 from the Bells album is just beautiful.

I love Discovery by Daft Punk. It's a wonderful album. One of the greatest things I've ever heard. If you like it, I highly suggest you watch Interstella 5555. It's a wonderful film, with Discovery playing over the top. I really hope Daft Punk's 4th album actually happens.

Other acts I've heard from this list are Gorillaz, who I quite like, David Guetta, who's average to me, Avicii, who I'm not really bothered about as I've only heard Levels, and Swedish House Mafia, who I like a bit. Their stuff's great.

Maybe add Pendulum and Knife Party to the list? They're the same people, just different styles. I love their music, and Knife party have a new EP out soon.

I like Alvin Risk too, his remix of we are young was amazing.
12th Planet is worth a mention. His free EP The End Is Near was fantastic. Ghost was probably my favorite track from it. Rusko is quite decent, and the Netsky remix of Everday is fantastic.

I must highlight Klaypex to anyone who enjoys Brostep/Electro House (So things like Skrillex, Rusko etc. They're not Dubstep. But that's something for another day) Lights is a wonderful track. I especially enjoy their remix of Ellie Goulding's Lights.

Some of you might like Borgore, but he's too dirty to link to on here.

Zedd has some good tracks. Changes ft. Champions is lovely. Shotgun's good, but don't expect any rhythm or anything.

Noisia's got some good stuff to, and they're a pretty big name. I love Shellshock Ft. Foreign Beggars (Who are very good too. Their work with Skrillex is awesome.). Machine Gun's a good track too.

If I've got any suggestions for fans of these kinds of music, I'd start with both OWSLA Free Treats samplers. Free music! And get The End Is Near, which is also free. Knife Party's 100% No Modern Talking EP is free.

But yeah, add these artists to your list:
Pendulum
Knife Party
Alvin Risk
12th Planet
Klaypex
Borgore
Zedd
Noisia

There's some other big names like Kill The Noise too.

Dash Berlin
His album The New Daylight is just amazing. Every track is great.

A lot of those mentioned aren't really Techno; quite a bit of Dubstep and House there actually. I guess it's open to interpretation though :)

When I saw Mista Jam he did an incredible Flux Pavilion set. Jamie xx also does some great stuff; his solo remixes are pretty special. Rusko is pretty cool; Avicii created the best clubbing song in a long time for me personally (Levels is so good)

Offline lets all go out for some frosty chocolate milkshakes
