Tell me who your favorite DJs are

[J:Rod]

I'm trying to put together a list of DJ's in various genres for a project I'm working on. It would be very helpful to get a list of who people consider good DJ's in any or all of the following areas:

rap/hip-hop
booty bass
house
trance/progressive
techno
trip hop
jungle
drum n bass
experimental / miscellaneous

If I have forgotten an important area, or if you want to break a category down into sub-catgories, go ahead.

Also, I am trying to get names of DJ's that are too huge - i.e. do not have big money record deals and do not get 10K+ for a single night's set.

Thanks to anyone who can help out!

In regards to DJ Clue, I think Ernest's mix tapes are simply artist promoting. As a DJ though, Im sure many of us here can WAX that ass. I never hear him cut or really blend or mix anything rather than that BS echo yelling intros he does that he ripped off Kid Capri.
