1. Dom Lalli

When it comes to breaking down barriers in bringing live instrumentation into electronic music, Dom Lalli deserves a ton of credit. When he started a sax-and-drums EDM combo with Jeremy Salken half a decade ago, people thought he was nuts. Now Lalli headlines some of the biggest festivals on the planet, and sits in with superstars across the music industry spectrum. We'd like to think that everyone on this list owes some sort of credit to Dom.
