Ah, what the heck. I'll be a little enthusiastic and go listen to Burned With Desire while making some snack to fill my empty stomach.

- 1st time in Germany (from German point of view)

- Armin Only parties @ Ibiza + Ocean Diva

- ASOT 2005 Mix Compilation

- Shivers Artist Album

- weekly radio show ASOT

- the 2004 Megamix and the 200 Episodes ASOT Megamix

These are reasons NOT to be #1

I had the top 4 exactly right and am very happy with this poll. ARMIN!!!

Already asked about Lisle, as well as Damian Lazarus, Low End Specialists. For all of the people who voted for the guys who made the Top 10, where's E-Craig? With all of the B&J and Armin votes, I was surprised not to see him even make 250.

Swamper, for next year's poll, you should use these 250 for the pull down menu. Some DJs that weren't in the DJ Mag 250 that made it onto our list would probably have been higher (Victor Dinaire, Steve Porter, etc.)

are u joking? the shivers artist album hurt my ears

yeah Shivers wasn't that good that's true, but at least he had a compilation + artist album this year.


and ASOT 2005 was a good Mix CD. Way better than ISOS 4. The tracklist wasn't that perfect but the mixing was very good.


The Megamixes were great, just listen seriously to them and hear what Armin does with 3 tracks playing at the same time.


His live sets are so full of emotions, people really love Armin for his sets.


Even @ Nature One Germany where mostly Techno and House is played he made the main floor explode and the people shouted "encore".

I like Armin. I've seen him a few times this year and enjoyed. I got the Shivers album within 2-3 days of it coming out, and I am sad to say, it sucked. ASOT 2005 wasn't great, either. Some good tracks, but not great. Of the comps that came out, it was better than Tiesto's ISOS 4, but that doesn't say much.

Anjunabeats 3 and Ferry's Creamfields and Passport discs were much better.

Agreed.
