I got presumptuous about your sound after listening to your sets from last year (bittersweet for e.g.), but that has changed after hearing some of your recent work

The answer is clearly ...

vote for Arnej

eventhough I don't DJ

Eddie Halliwell
Yoji
Alex Kidd
James Zabeila
Markus Schulz

Support your Toronto Locals!
especially in a year where I feel Toronto has taken off

My top 5 (this does not indicate personal preference overall rather takes into account the strides these djs have taken in the last year)

5. Nic Fanciulli (probably my second favourite out of all internationals this year. made my canada day and has largely influenced my own musical direction the last two to three months)

4. Armin Van Buuren (what can i say...still amazing despite my preference for house now. His album was a little vocally but still had three or four excellent tracks on it...plus his dj sets this year that i saw were some of the best i've ever seen from him)

3. Deko-ze (I feel Deko-ze really got back some of what i feel he lost last year. His sets were upbeat and banging again and his energy seemed to be back at levels of a couple of years ago)

2. The Roaches (nuff said? rawthentic continues to wow me on a weekly basis)

1. J-E-L-O (no one deserves this #1 slot in toronto more than him. brilliant stuff from a true master of his craft)

Sasha & Digweed (Spring Club Tour lots of attention)
Tiesto (ISOS 6 and 7, World Tour as well)
John 00 Fleming (New 3CD Psy-trance euphoria cd, his sets are flawless as well, introduced alot of good songs this year)
