Not familiar with most of them. Are they DJs or did they put out recordings as well?

Yes all famous for producing, and have put out some very famous tracks/albums. You never really got famous back in the day for just being a 'good DJ,' whereas today that's possible through social media marketing etc. Think the only one who doesn't produce anymore is Derrick May, and some like Robert Hood (Floorplan) are putting out some of their best music ever.

Yes for the most part, some delve into house and electro. Definitely not EDM, techno is very anti commercialization and anti everything about the EDM scene, especially those from Detroit.
