Predictions for DJ Mags top 5 this year...

[D]

Well,,, I think all these guys will be up there (in no order):

PvD
Tiesto
Sasha
Digweed
Armin (hopefully) ;-)

[-ak47-]

Timo Maas(theres NO WAy hes not in the top 5)
tiesto
sasha
digweed
Eric Morillo

I think the first 4 are a given, but Eric Morillo's questionable but the best i could come up with

[Moon]

whats with trance djs only regining the top 5? thats bulllshiet..... but its definetly gonna change soon

[Filo]

that's why i could give 2 shits about the dj rankings. When dieselboy and andy c barely get into the top 100, then u know it means nothing. i can appreciate the talent needed to spin trance but it's not that much harder than spinning other genres

[Moon]

^i'm sure thats gonna change in the next few years

drumnbass is getting ALOT more recognition than it did 2 years ago

[Filo]

but trance is still the #1 form of electronic music, therefore trance dj's will receive the majority of the votes due to a bigger fan base. Ah well. Don't really bother me much

[dj4mula]

First off, Trance is still big in Europe and the magazines that rank the DJ's are based in Europe.

Nu Skool breaks is getting popular in Europe, therefor I predict atleast 5 will be in the top 25. I personally not a HUGE fan of Nu Skool. Meh.

Tiesto
Sasha
Digweed
Corsten
Lashes

[Filo]

u'll learn tim. u'll learn. Nu-Skool will blow Florida out of the water. It'll take time, but u'll eventually realize it

[rawb]

i predict that i couldn't care less. taking a popularity poll of popular music doesn't heed any interesting results.

[PH1.ca]

rizawb#1
Sasha
Digweed
Carl Cox
PVD
Mauro

^^not that I agree with this ranking

[Sean]

Yeah Arp, I agree with you on that one.

[Sykonee]

I don't know about all of the Top 5's but one of them will definetly be Tiga. Guy was everywhere this year, easily in the forefront of the electroclash revival along with Fischerspooner.

[doubledown]

all i want to know is how do you rank someone's artistic impressions.once you get to a certain level everyone is on pretty much an even keel.1 through 100 they can all play,it`s all about one`s interpratation of the music,how do you rank that on a scale?

[-ak47-]

Timo Maas 57? behind like 30 people ive never heard of?? ***** WHUT?!

[SEAN!]

word..thats pretty hurting, just like most trance..you can't even be really creative with it, except in sasha and digweed's case, i bow down to them and their 4 minute mixes, they have skill...these other clowns, all the manage to do is play anthems and put them in the right order, maybe even mix for 64beats.

what about charles feelgood, bad boy bill, josh the funky1, dieselboy. they all have tons of skill behind the decks. They like sasha and digweed actually make music with their mixes, not just rattle off athems like a rockstar.

when i think of it house breaks and jungle are all genres you can be really creative with and a dj can show their true talent behind the decks, by samplying, layering, cuting, mixing and skratching to create something which um is greater then all the parts(records)...

why is anthem djs who are on the top five? and where the fuck is craze?..i have a feeling this is a giant popularity contest more then anything

[DJDeeb]

Mauro...Mauro....Mauro!!!!!!!

( hopefully in the top 5 )

[Sean]

*slaps head*
How many times does this have to be said?

This poll is compiled STRICTLY FROM THE VOTES OF DJMAG READERS AND OTHER PEOPLE WHO VOTED ON THEIR SITE. For those of you that still don't get it:

It's a popularity contest.


With that in mind, this list looks fine.

[Dj_K2]

Tidy Boys & Lisa Lashes made it & no Nu-school or DnB dj's?
:P

[Filo]

umm look closer. Krafty Kuts, Adam Freeland, Grooverider, Stanton Warriors, Hybrid and Hype all made the list. I just don't think that they should be at the bottom of the list

[Dj_K2]

^oh your right I just skimmed through it, Plump Dj's made the list as well, but you are right they should be higher up there!

[D]

Like Sean said,,, it is basically a popularity contest. All 5 DJ's I predicted would be in the top 5 ended up there,,, who'd have thought it?


and to the other Sean- You really should shut your mouth when it comes to talking about trance,,, because you know jack shit about 'TRANCE'


Nice to see that my favorite DJ won though ;-)

[jmzD]

im not feeling this.

ferry corsten? is that the dood from janes addiction or something?

AND WHERE THE FUNK IS DONALD ON THIS LIST???

[D]

^^^ You seriously don't know who Ferry Corsten is?
