Not sure if you guys noticed, but 2011 was a stellar effing year for EDM artists (that's "Electronic Dance Music" for all you n00bs). David Guetta got everyone and their mother to guest star on his Nothing But The Beat album (Nicki Minaj and Usher, to name a few), and Calvin Harris finally (and rightfully) broke through with his EPIC Rihanna cut, "We Found Love." And if you don't think deadmau5 is a household name yet, don't tell that to this kid (or the dad who spent hours on that Halloween costume).

Here at MTV, we felt it was time that the EDM artists who dominated 2K11 got what they deserved: a spot in our official Best EDM Artists of 2011 list! Along with this prestigious title, these musicians will also receive a new car! (JK, JK. We ain't on that Oprah ish... yet.)

French DJ Martin Solveig came in at No. 10 (and how could he not with Dragonette-assisted "Hello" -- it was EVERYWHERE), while Tiesto, Kaskade and Afrojack also carved out nice spots for themselves. But it was American producer Skrillex who took home top honors as the best EDM Artist of 2011, and no, not only because of his hair. He's already produced some of the most famous musicians out there (Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas), and the dude's only 23. 2011 was basically HIS year.

+ All this week, MTV will reveal the best artists, songs and movies of the year. Come to MTV News each day to see more big reveals and check out more of MTV's Best of 2011 music, TV, movies, and news coverage.

Not to be confused with the Mario song "C'mon," electronic heavyweight Tiësto -- the world-renowned Dutch DJ/producer who can fill a stadium faster than 10 artists combined and play six times as long -- and remix overlord Diplo (you've seen his visually arresting Major Lazer videos, and you've heard his grime on everyone from M.I.A. to Britney) teamed up on dance track "C'mon." They usually play two different (though not opposing) sides of the coin, musically speaking, but it's an explosive electronic pairing that works perfectly.

See what happens when the king of dance trance meets the king of the remix in Diplo and Tiësto's new performance video, "C'mon," shot at Winter Music Conference 2010 in Miami.

Hey, Tegan & Sara, we love you. We love the ornate vocal harmonies and angular melodies on your awesome new album, Sainthood. We love the singing you did on that lush techno joint you did with Tiesto ("I Feel It In My Bones"). But for rillz... these new MTV pics? You're killing us.

Stop being so damn adorable. It's not fair. It looks like you walked off the cover of a Belle & Sebastian album cover, for heaven's sakes. Give us all a break! Be less awesome!
