This poll has electronic artists/groups. There are two votes for each person. If there is something that I left out and you think it should be added, please let me know or discuss it in the topic. :)
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 (http://yt.cl.nr/tQiFqy4tOPA) 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 (http://yt.cl.nr/ZY9vVu9PQQQ) was amazing.
12th Planet is worth a mention. His free EP The End Is Near was fantastic. Ghost (http://yt.cl.nr/Vrm2yjnRMlY) was probably my favorite track from it. Rusko is quite decent, and the Netsky remix of Everday (http://yt.cl.nr/dD40VXFkusw) 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 (http://yt.cl.nr/r0a-o16i_Gw) is a wonderful track. I especially enjoy their remix of Ellie Goulding's Lights (http://yt.cl.nr/cQuIToHf7Sk).
Some of you might like Borgore, but he's too dirty to link to on here.
Zedd has some good tracks. Changes ft. Champions (http://yt.cl.nr/Z_AqOl4LpsU) is lovely. Shotgun (http://yt.cl.nr/GwH00EFuVVo)'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 (http://yt.cl.nr/OW1kY7gUhHk) (Who are very good too. Their work with Skrillex is awesome.). Machine Gun (http://yt.cl.nr/iPTOVyLncVQ)'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.
You forgot:
Armin Van Buuren (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxvpctgU_s8)
His songs are great and his album Shivers is just awesome.
ATB (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFhZSo0dbao)
He has many good songs. I don't have any of his albums but his Greatest Hits which has all the songs but are different than his album versions.
Dash Berlin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4KrOOm8Nj8)
His album The New Daylight is just amazing. Every track is great.
Dj Splash (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHLFKfUnBGw)
I just know him for this song and some of remixes he did. lol
Dune (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KJ__06kyxs)
Their Albums Dune and Expedicion are great but I think I perfer their single Albums which would be many of them. lol
Fedde le Grand (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYPqA4slnbQ)
Don't have many of this albums just a few tracks and they are ok.
Ferry Corsten (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04Uuarao5hM)
same with him.
Gigi D' Agostino (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w15oWDh02K4)
I just like this song by him.
Iio (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbaWdyDipcw)
This is her smash hit which became very popular. I also like her songs "In The End" and "Kiss You".
Pakito (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcf79OWnitM)
Their only album (that I know of) is Video which is good except for the few last tracks.
Paul Oakenfold (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zu6dC8UGh4)
I only have his album called Great Wall and the tracks on it are really good.
Paul Van Dyk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO0PMclabt4)
Heard some of his music and they are great.
and there are many others that I can't think of.

Daft Punk = They ok.
Skrillex = Don't like.
Benny Benassi = Meh.
Justice = never heard of it.

How did I forget? =o
digitalism and justice are probably my favorites
There's more to choose from.
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)
where is birdy nam nam
super old but whatever :P
rogue, ephixa, obsidia, stephen walking, muzzy, pegboard nerds, televisor, feint, and tristam. lol just a bunch of monstercat artists :)
If the voting wasn't closed I would have voted for Pendulum, I love them so much!
