[FeelGood]

i thought armin would move to second, by im glad to see tiesto off the number one position, his last cd was bunk!

[Anjew]

yay@! down with tiesticle...

Too bad ferry didn't move up.

I still don't understand how sasha and digweed are always so high up there..

[decypher]

Andy C is the only dnb dj! He's the ambassador.


*waiting for a post by Toxxin-ephekt*

[~god~]

what a joke!

[Drazkers]

The list seems hit and miss, hopefully the end result is alittle diffrent, but thats mainly blind hope

[-evil-duerr-]

its a strange strange world we live in. this list says it all...
:242:

[decypher]

This piece of crap is like this every year, no surprise.

[BenGiovanni]

wow...
PvD grabs the #1, I had a feeling this woulda happened...
i was hoping to see armin atleast #2... i hear more of him than any other producer
Oakenfold dropped aswell...
I also noticed a LOAD of New Entrys....

Paul Oakenfold : #11 'Moved DOWN 2 Spots'
Eddie Haliwell : #17 'Moved UP 8 Spots'
Benny Benassi : #22 'Moved DOWN 4 Spots'
Yoji Biomehanika : #31 'Moved UP 1 Spot'
DJ Vibe : #40 'Moved UP 40 Spots' *NOTE: Biggest climb on the 2005 Top100
Lisa Lashes : #56 'Moved DOWN 26 Spots' *NOTE: She reclaimed her #1 Female dj in the Top100... but also her second most noticable slide. EDIT:2001 Dj Mag Top 100 was her biggest drop with a 33 spot slide.
Lady Dana : #78 'Moved DOWN 49 Spots' *NOTE: She lost her title as the world #1 Female dj as well ass biggest slide in the Top100 Charts...poor Dana.

Anne Savage : #83 'Moved DOWN 4 Spots'
Scot Project : #89 'Re-Entry from no spot on 2004 Top100'

I'm suprised Signum didn't make the list. I'm happy to see PVD as number one.

[wishbone]

would have liked to see AvB move up though (like everyone else)

[C_squared]

too bad dj mag sucks.

[Anjew]

The amount of people who vote here in the Western Hemisphere... is nowhere near the amount of people that vote in the Eastern Hemisphere and Trance is obviously number 1 over there.

that doesn't matter. I think that the whole "who's #1 DJ" thing such bullshit. how the fuck are you supposed to choose?

It's kinda like a poll I saw for History's top 100 guitarists. Hendrix was #1 (granted), Stevie ray Vaughn was #47!!??? BB King was not even in there.

Now I'm not to say who's better than who... just that you can't really compare artists (specially with different genres) like that. apples and oranges for sure.
I like BPM's polls way better, cause atleast the title reads "America's FAVORITE DJ's", and not "World's best DJ's"


fawk.

Yep... it's a shame North America doesn't get of their own ass to vote proper.

45. DJ Yahel ???????

you gotta be kidding me...... I mean he's a decent producer but a dj????? christ this guy spins the majority of his sets using serato scratch (since he is a psy-trance dj) and everyone knows that if you use serato scratch and/or final scratch the art of beatmatching is no longer the same.... Why because not only do you have a headphone to listen to the beats but you can see the beat pattern, intro's,breakdown;s within a track...... No talent required at all.....
This poll is absolute bullshit if you tell me.....

[cheeseburger]

I'm shocked none of the sweedish dream team made the cut

Really dissapointed

[CharlieTuna]

^^Ya you'd think at least a couple of the Mafia members would get into that list eh?

[angst]

Ranking DJs or any muscians for that matter is easily the most retarded thing ever and is bad for music. It's obviously just used as a marketing tool to say how so and so is # ___ in the world. It's a crock and is only a reflection of the type of people voting for these polls.


Oh and does BT even DJ? I could be wrong here, but I thought he just did a live PA.

[dj_soo]

every year this list gets published, it just seems to get more retarded

[miss.myra]

haha seriously, 'this person is better at playing other people's music than the other person!' like what do they base it on because that's really all they're doing?

[Van Tek]

is it just me or is this one of the goofiest statements in this thread?

you can see the breakdowns on records as well... watching the drum kicks go by on the screen doesn't help anybody when they're DJing, least of all anybody who's actually been a DJ prior to getting Serato or Final Scratch

the last time I checked, nobody who uses either of those programs actually watches their laptop screen while DJing

therefore, using either one of these programs is exactly like DJing with records and your whole point becomes invalid

the only time I think people who use these programs are being stupid is when they're playing stolen mp3s as opposed to WAV files or FLAC files they've purchased or been given by the artist

about the list: the only person I'm happy to see on that list is Infected Mushroom, even though their sets are basically programmed in advance, from what I've heard... also, they play too many breakdowns and not enough stormin beats from their tunes

After taking a quick glance, I don't think there's anyone on that list that isn't producing their own music. I don't think the DJ's listed deserve to be slagged, they're obviously doing something right. It's a public poll, I placed my votes for different reasons. Although a lot of my votes didn't make the top 100, I'm still glad I voted.

I'm not sure how one would stage an accurate top 100 list, but this comes purely by personal choice over a majority. It proves no purpose but to promote the magazine and the club culture scene.

And branching off, music/artists/djing isn't always about skill and talent.

[optimum sound]

Hey Thanatos, arent you happy to see Astrix in there as well? hehe
