some solid hip-hop dj's, turntablists, and producers worth listening to:
Beat Junkies (group of turntablists from Orange County, CA. Featuring Rhettmatic of The Visionaries and Dilated Peoples' DJ Babu, among others.
Invisibl Skratch Piklz - My personal favorite hip-hop dj's. These guys were way ahead of their time, definitely innovators among the experimental realm of hip-hop dj'ing. The founding members are DJ's Q-bert and Mix Master Mike. These two pretty much owned the DMC World DJ Championships in the 90's, winning something like 4 or 5 consecutive titles. Although the organization won't admit it, these two were actually asked by DMC to retire from competition so that other up and coming DJ's would have a chance to win 
DJ Krush - A legendary DJ from Japan, who you should all probably know about by now. He's collaborated with dozens of MC's on his records. Highly recommended.
DJ Shadow - Again, probably doesn't need an explanation. I personally have gotten kind of bored with his work, but I still respect his craft and devoted passion towards sampling.
RJD2 - In a league of his own. I wouldn't even know how to begin describing his style. I uploaded a 20 minute RJD2 vs. Diplo set in the indie thread. It's worth checking out for sure.
Kid Koala - Turntablist from Australia. A member of Deltron 3030 and a respected solo artist in his own right. He was something like 16 years old when he released his first record, 'Carpel Tunnel Syndrome'. He's a really interesting turntablist and he's got a style that I find really fun to listen to.
Primo - The King. DJ Premier is a legend among legends and should be found somewhere on ANYbody's 'top hip-hop producers of all time' list.
DJ Craze - Another super-skilled turntable technician. This dude is just SICK.
DJ Food - Originally founded by Coldcut in the 90's, DJ Food is actually a collective of DJ's who specialize in a tasty blend of hip-hop and jazz breaks. The whole Ninja Tune label is just dope as hell and very much worth checking out.
DJ Vadim - speaking of Ninja Tune...Vadim is a dj/producer from Russia who's worked with a variety of other hip-hop artists and musicians. His style is highly evolved and very digable 
DJ Jazzy Jeff - hah! I know, I know...if you haven't really heard his mixtapes, you're probably thinking "that spaced-out dude from Fresh Prince???" Well as it turns out, his compilation 'Hip-Hop Forever, Vol. 3' is probably my favorite hip-hop mixtape ever, and deserves a place in any good hip-hop head's collection.
there are many other dj's who I'm omitting or forgetting to mention at the moment, but alas I'm hungry and must go make myself a delicious ham sammich.
peace.

How about K-OS, some Saul Williams, and Sweatshop Union? They're all a bit different than some of the things you guys listed, but still some awesome artistry.
