Yeah, obviously anyone who puts any stock in those polls as a true gauge of DJ talent obviously doesn't really know what's going on. What the polls are useful for is really showing who has the greatest mass market appeal at any given time. Also, having a high ranking equals great PR as we've seen some local promoters do.
To be perfectly honest, I don't really see how you can rank something like how good of a DJ you are. Also, as many people have pointed out, because so many DJs are producers and vice versa, it brings up the issue of whether people are voting for the DJ or his productions. Anyways, I'm not trying to rehash old debates, but I raise the point of Joel's ranking simply as an indication of his seemingly meteoric rise to fame and mainstream acceptance.
But yeah, I'm excited for Friday. Notwithstanding that pretty much all of my friends will be there, I had a great time the last time Deadmau5 was here. It was a pretty large improvement over the first time, I'll be honest, but then again he's improved a lot as a performer. The transition from producer to performer can be awkward for some, but I think the great strides that he's made are remarkable. I mean who wears a giant mouse head? Love it or hate it, it's a pretty hard icon to escape now in the world of EDM.
