Response to TOP 100 dj's
well i've been waiting for this to come out ever since last january when the 2000 listing was up...........am i surprised??? not at all
djmag is based in the UK i believe thus having over 40% of the total votes (so i've been told)
so its a bit biased to globalunderground UK djs who are all in the top 30 and forever will be!
Major accomplishments this year
3) armin van buuren: non existent last year! well done avb...we love ya!
2) dj tiesto proving he belongs in the top 6.....top 3 in my book! we're happy for you tijs!
1) in my mind, the happiest surprise, max graham, proving he is one of the world's best and making his intro in the top 100 in the mid-twenties (23)!
i think the UK vote has obviously helped tiesto and max a great deal because of their explosive exposure in the UK(mainly gatecrasher) i knew max graham would be there this year...just not as high.but im happy cuz he had my vote
Biggest Jokes of the top 100 (i know i will get criticism) 
as swamper mentioned, marco V in the 85 spot...he deserves to be in the top 20...almost near mauro picotto..however mauro's production success with komodo etc, gave him his spot in the top 10
and finally, judge jules, while many love him, i dont understand his placing at number 11...gimme a break
please add what u think, this is just my 2-sense...i tried to reason and describe what i think, let me know if u agree with what i say? or if u think im a moron
hehe ciao
I'm totally agree with delstar, altough I haven�t listened to Tijs or van Buuren live 
(...and, oh, I beggin' they come to Mexico with people like Ferry, Gielen or Picotto...), I know that they're pretty amanzing!!!
Since the place in 5 top for Digweeds, Sashas, van Dyks, Oakenfolds and Tenaglias is 'eternal', for me the surpises are guys like Deep Dish, inside top 10, proving that their style is much better than we think, Timo Maas, up and up and up..., and Max Graham, who is the 2001 'revelation' (What do u think?), besides #50, Hernana Cattaneo, a guy from Argentina, who I swear was almost unknow a year ago (well done by himself signing with Bedrock!!).
Also, I'd like to emphasaize the very strong and constant position of people like Carl Cox or Richie Hawtin. They have been in top 20 since I got memory!!!
And about Judge Jules...well, he isn't my style neither, but remembering that this is an international and 'all-styles' dj top, he's the best for Eurohouse with Tall Paul and Pete Tong. In techno is Richie Hawtin. In house are Roger Sanchez and Eric Morillo....
And about everyone else, I�m not surprised for Sander, Fatboy, Lawler, Seaman, Howells, etc.; they are simply the best of the best...
BTW, anybody knows something about number 16, Fergie?
Saludos 
I agree /w delstar 2
delstar ur the biggest moron ever (even though ur the trance dalai lama) however i have to agree with you
AND WHERE THE HELL IS CASS !!!!!!!!!
one of the most promising DJ's i've ever seen in my life ..... it's like a COMEDIAN with VINYLS 
I think Marco V is rated a bit to low I think!
with all of the work that he does(production, live sets, remixes) i would have liked to seen ferry ranked higher than 19 on the list. a top 10 spot would have been nice but i guess that what happens on a prog-house dominated list
In my opinion, judge jules is not that good of a dj, and plus why is ferry corsten sooooooooo low.
This guy definitely deserves to be in the top 5
I take a lot of my mixing techniques from him.
For those that dont know, I think it is much harder to mix uplifting than progressive.

surprised 2 see Avb as well so low right after Nick Warren...4 me Nick should of been in da top 5 or 10...i mean dis guy is really something, a true master of progressive..i have no regards 2 Sasha/Digweed coz they r masters of their as well, but Nick at 26? doesn't seem 2 right...surprised 2 see Danny Tenaglia and Deep Dish really high..finally they get some respect, both very sick house/techno dj's although i dont listen 2 Marco V dat much, i still think he is rated 2 low 4 his specifications...and Judge Jules, first i thing i saw..I DONT THINK SO, but dats how it is, he plays commercial trance and da majority of people like dat da most
#16 Fergie. Slinky resident, Hard House GENIOUS. thats all I have to say.
he bangs it harder than me with a 16 year old
all i have 2 say on this matter is whats already bin said. if it were up 2 me tiesto would be number 1
and yes marco v at 85!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!this guy is EASILY top 10 material 2 me..i love his productions soo much and hes a good mixer 2.julz at 11?! im english..and ok..hes ok but not that good..very biast on that 1..just cos hes splatered around radio 1 al the time..well done 2 max graham and sasha again thosome odd placements but overall its a fairly resonable response imo
FF
im so happy to see people agreeing with my post!!!!
what i wanted to mention also was that im surprised oakie held the 5 spot...while he has dropped from 1, to 2, now to 5...he is still holding his ground (the original trance master) mainstream or not....sell out or not...still one of the best mixers
i love to see people agreeing with my judge jules comment...oh yeah...carl cox is a great dj but has done nothing in 2001...this guys is relaxing and taking it easy...top 10 just because he will be there when he is dead
and i know we are talking about marco v being so low, but it reminds me of 2 years ago and tiesto was not in the top 100...why is this? he didnt leave the netherlands!!!! as marco v is doing now...in 2 years, marco v will be in the top 10...
swamper, whats your take on this discussion?
As mentioned before that Top 100 is more of a popularity contest than anything else..
It's sort of a rough guideline but nothing to pay too much attention to...
No-One will eva be happy with any top 100
i think its just interesting to read all the lil captions in dj mag...
veaaaaaaallly inneresting
Where is Satoshi??? He's done a lot these past 20 months....I guess this is just some freaky voting scheme with no basis on recognition of individual productions....what the hell...it's just some numbers...and Cass...where is he too?
satoshi was 101
cass was 128
before this year, you had to mail a ballot in, this year you could vote online, which if ya ask me is how Max made a HUMOUNGOUS leap from 108 to 32. Shows all his followers are computer geeks, as opposed to Ferry, who either doesnt have followers or they dont have computers. Really, I dont see what the big difference, I dont like what half those DJs spin, so if u ask me, ill say they are talented, but SHIT djs..so yeah.
A chart that measures skill, and not popularity would be much better.
Well, the chart is open to anyone who wants to vote. The majority of the clubbing general public really cant pick out the technicalities of djing and so really have no idea who is the best mixer. They just pick who they remembered delivered a performance they remembered. Really, I think you can just throw away anythying above 20 because they are all interchangeable. This doesnt mean I think anyone who is ranked above 20 should not be placed in the top 20.. it just means their rank is meaningless. It should really be a dj top 20 list IMO
How hard would it be to really clasify djs by their real skills?
I mean, I think that the top is about popularity, so they all have turned into real 'meadia stars'.
In fact, I like the way Dj Remy does it, and he's not in there, and theres a lot more.....
And, after all, the only 3 guys I'm satisfied 'bout their places inside top 10 are John Digweed, Paul van Dyk and Deep Dish.
