The following are DJs recognized as being some of the best in Canada (in no particular order):
Richie Hawtin
Richie Hawtin has worked hard to perfect his skills and it has paid off as he is now one of Canada’s DJs in high demand. He spends a lot of the time traveling between gigs and in between is kept busy with other musical pursuits. Richie has reached legend status and is widely recognized in the electronic music world both in Canada and internationally.
Joel Zimmerman
Better known as deadmau5 Zimmerman was born in 1981 and has been nominated for a Grammy Award six times during his career.

Zimmerman is one of the world’s highest earning producers of electronic music and spent much of 2017 touring the world beginning with North America and Canada. He is currently working on a new album and though no release date has been confirmed fans are hoping for it to become available in 2018.
DVBBS
Consisting of two brothers, DVBBS embarked on their musical career in 2012 quickly rocketing to success after their ‘Initio’ debuted. The pair soon followed up with ‘Tsunami’ which Peter Tong played on his radio show BBC’s Radio 1, bringing DVBBS (pronounced dubbs) further recognition. The brothers have appeared with other DJ greats such as Martin Garrix and Steve Aoki. Despite the duo being relatively new on the electronic music scene they have established a name for themselves and are set to have a great future.
