His sets have been very boring. John Digweed deserves to be lower than sasha though with that watered down crap he plays.

Sven Vath the stuff he plays YAWN

Digweed live is COMPLETELY different than Digweed on his radio station.

That guy can deliver a fucking beatdown, even in 2012.

Whatever one may think about Guetta winning it last year, at least it was different. It sparked new conversations and suggested a change in the direction of pop EDM. Seeing Armin win it tho', who cares? It's old news, a retread. What has Armin done this past year that will generate similar talk that Guetta provided? Okay, so he's adopted the 'trouse' sound (according to his old school fans, at least), but all that means is he fits right snuggly with Tiesto, Guetta, Above & Beyond, and everyone else in the Top 10 (sans Skr-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-rillex). Same inter-changable DJs, same ol' story. Seeing Avicci at #3's more interesting than Armin or Tiesto.

I'm sure Armin's fans feel justified with this result, but everyone else will shrug with apathy, much like every other time he's won it.

Like if you didn't know that it has become a producer contest...

OT: Like i expected David Guetta does not have a serious fanbase, if he is not on the soundwaves people quickly forget about him, in fact 70% of his so called fans never been to a club or what's worse to a gig from him.

I expected Tiesto to be n�1 and almost took for granted that avicii would be n� 3. Take care old dinosaurs, next "levels" may steal your crown.

As long as Tiesto ain't first everything's fine!

Wonder if he was present at the ceremony in Amsterdam. I'd like to see his face, how does it feel being second!

He has been 3rd previous year thats probably worse...

Another intersting fact i've found in this shit poll (wel really 2) is that Sander van Doorn, Ferry Corsten etc... after years delivering consistent trance records (until 2008 or so they were good for me, a shade of his late 90's early 2000s productions but good ones) they moved to the progressive/electro commercial house bandwagon and got punished badly. Specially sander van doorn made quite underground tunes and people voted him, he had a serious following. Now probably he has more people that buy his tracks but don't give a fuck about his career.

And the other interesting fact is that techno is soooooo neglected in this poll, totally oposite to RA poll, something strange because techno events are probably the most crowded ones... i've been to time warp and it was packed neve saw that in a trance/house event.

Am I the only person on this board who is intelligent enough to know this is a popularity contest?

The top DJs are the top DJs in terms of popularity. This year's list makes complete sense in that regard.

Starting to question the intelligence of people here...

Even then it's still flawed. I mean even Ron Paul managed to win a few internet polls even though in actuality he's about as popular as the Spanish flu.
It's more a list of DJ's with the most fanatical internet fan-bases.

only person who really stands out as a B.S. entry is Dash Berlin. Otherwise, everything else makes sense.

it amazes me that people still think this is a popularity poll.

any fool can buy facebook accounts and hire coders on freelancer to do the voting for them which is why no name djs can be so high while truly popular djs drop out.

digweed, sasha, zabiela, sanchez etc dont need to buy votes to prove themselves- they prove themselves by filling clubs.

I cringe when I see djs campaigning for dj polls these days, they look desperate.

fortunately more and more djs are coming out and saying they wont campaign in polls anymore.

Expecting any of your Favourite DJs to be anywhere "respectable" on the list is like expecting any of these DJs to win Grammys. Outside the EDM catefory obviously (which still gets won by Madonna, Lada Googoo??)

Also, it seems now that Armin has won again, he is the "Lesser of Two+ Evils" to be #1.

Techno Dj's are neglected? How about DRUM & FUCKING BASS ? I voted Andy C and London Electricity, the only D&B dj up there is Netsky but his D&B is not the most root influenced... If this was a real DJ contest without a doubt the best of the best in the Electronic Music scene is Andy C (the guy still spins vinyl big ups for that) and Kutski. I must say, every one thinks dubstep is taking over but looks like they are far from that... MY GOD THATS A LOT OF HARDSTYLE/HARDCORE�!!!

Everybody seems to love DnB but it's true that there's no reflection in the popularity polls. I like netsky as a producer, listened to a set from him and it was a bit boring but overall well deserved entry.

The amount of hardstyle djs amazes me, didn't know it was so popular.

agree with netsky. i really love his track 'Memory Lane", but when i heard his set on electric area I was surprised at how much I didn't like it

as for hard style, i think it's popular because it's very easy to listen to when you first start listening to music. i think the first edm i listened was dj scooter. i don't like now, but that first year of listening to music when you're young...hardstyle etc are easy to listen to and enjoy

Posted by Rodri Santos on Oct-21-2012 16:06:

well hardcore is more listeneable than hardstyle, hardcore is the new eurodance a lot of people love it, in fact when a dj drops a few hardcore tunes the energy of the floor rises incredibly, for long people start leaving but all crowds stand it for some minutes.

As for hardstyle... the distorted kick is something that does not get on well with all people, i quite like wasted penguinz i even considered attending Klimax to try something different.
