agreed. he should be in the top 25 imo.

G&D shouldn't have been introduced so high, i guess beign good producers = top djs ... maybe Nu Nrg will be on the list soon... err maybe not

no real probs with tiesto beign number 1.. just happy pvd didnt get it... i guess im bitter since the only time i saw him he blew

and ppl referrign to gielen as a cheesball.. check out soem of his latest tracklists.. even though he still hastn thrown out his "TWISTED" vinyl .. he has been decent. and his position is well deserved.

BT should be replaced by Markus Schulz (who i predict will be the biggest "new" entry in next years rankings)

cheers,

Originally posted by Floorfiller looking over the list again...really i know all of them its just that i've never heard of DJ Sneak? what the hell is that??? how does someone like that get votes over markus schulz...who has a weekly radio show...

wow, i'm sorry, nothing personal, but that's a very sad display of ignorance.

dj sneak is a legend who plays grimey chicago house. mad old school with a lot of funk and flavor, trance isn't everything you know? he's a dj of way more impact or importance in the global electronic dance music than markus schultz by thousands of light years. i was glad to see him there because sneak is unequivocally too underground for this kind of list, but i bet the reason he got there was his last single's popular success (can't remember the name) which i remember hearing on dutch radio and seeing the video on mtv europe even.


fuck all the talk about skill. as stassi said, the djs with the most technical skill are nowhere on this list. as much talent as J00F or Scott Bond or whatever might have on the turntables, there's no way in this earth that you could compare their "skill" to that of QBert, Mixmaster Mike or even dnb djs like Andy C and Marky. go watch the documentary "Scratch" and then talk about skill.

and yeah, i'd rather see Tiesto more than any of these highly-skilled djs. why? because I PERSONALLY like his kind of music better. that is all....

Mixmaster mike owns

Public? What public? The narrow people of London within DJmags grasp?



The people have spoken? What people.





Who cares?

listen 2 that phat ass beat drop

in reality...the poll is about whos popular and not who is the best dj,if that was the case,the list would b totally different

1. Tiesto
I think PVD deserved the top spot. But that's just my opinion on this one.

3. Armin Van Buuren
I do not think that Armin deserved the number 3 spot. Despite his radio show, he does not have more fans worldwide than Sasha and Digweed. It's not possible. Plus I heard that Armin got caught out cheating in the BPM poll in the US last year.

11. James Zabiela
Up 28 positions to the Top 20? Hmm. Not sure about this one.

19. Tall Paul
Up 57 positions. LOL! I think someone had a little "help" voting in this years poll.

41. Sven Vath
Up 41 positions. I just don't see his popularity has increased this much in the past year.

42. Gabriel & Dresden
They might have had a good year production wise, but they don't deserve a debut this high. There is no way they are more popular than other excellent DJs who placed below them.

45. Umek
Up 30 positions. Who is Umek?

52. Hybrid
Up 39 positions. Like Sven, I don't see their popularity has increased this much in the past year.

55. Lady Dana
And last but not least, the biggest joke in the DJ 100 for 2003 - Lady Dana!! LOL!!

Also, I would have liked to see the following two DJs higher:

27. John OO Flemming
35. Christopher Lawrence

Of course these are just my opinons

man i dont know where you have been living for the last year...Umek did Gatex....remeber that awesome track that djs like tiesto and armin killed? He also did benozal wich is a really good track. PVD number one? LMAO...How can u say this??? plus if you ask yourself why Sven Vath has risen in the top 100 you probably never heard him...He is really good and easily better than the ten first ( except maybe for sasha )

I know one reason that tiesto won is that his label in America (nettwerk) kept sending spam emails to people with a link to the DJ mag poll saying to vote for tiesto. I also got spam from his label in the UK (nebula/virgin). I think that's hardly fair to the other DJs who didn't have such a large PR machine, but then again this poll is crap anyways hehe. I can't recall getting spam telling me to vote for any other dj...
