I just read this in Ferry Corsten's monthly newsletter...

2006 DJ Mag Awards It is time once again to start voting for your favourite DJ for DJ Mag’s annual top 100. On Wednesday 16th August, the poll is officially open to clubbers all over the world who would like to vote for their favourite DJ. This year’s the poll is slightly different. For the first time ever, DJ Mag will be giving out more gongs than ever before. As well as the all-important No. 1 DJ in the World accolade, there will be awards for the following categories: BEST HOUSE DJ – BEST TECHNO DJ – BEST HARD DANCE DJ – BEST DRUM & BASS DJBEST BREAKBEAT DJ – BEST ELECTRO DJ – HIGHEST CLIMBER –HIGHEST NEW ENTRY

I think it's a start. Looks like some people must have voiced their opinion on the contest not really being fair since DJs of all styles of music were lumped into one category.

Oh man, STFU. What about polio-stricken transvestite DJs that cross over multiple genres when DJing and produce bluegrass music? What categories do these poor souls go into????

Hey I said it was a start right?

I don't think it'll even be possible to have proper categories for a contest like this...unless you want to have hundreds of them!

Thank you for Cosmic purr for the first laugh of that day!

LKD - I bet sooner or later - there will be an experimental cat.

I love how there's no "Best Trance DJ" category, lol

Actually, with these new categories, i think it'll be hilarious when Tiesto wins "best Techno DJ" award, lol.

I was actually surprised at that too. I guess they're trying to say that the No. 1 DJ spot is for "Trance" DJs, but then they should call it just that.

He'll even win in categories that don't even exist yet.
