again WTF?????????? how can that list possibly not have JOOF on it? and they list dj sammy and can't even list john!!!!!!! i put no stock in that list, john kills it every time, he packs LA and SF clubs each visit, people are amazed by his talent and have a wonderful time at his shows. his mixing is flawless, his productions are top notch and he has more energy than almost any dj out there!!! i do hope that clubs and promoters don't book based on that list b/c i have to say that would be very disappointing indeed.
on a happier note, right on for CL, he definitely deserves it, his shows just get better and better.
