Great vibes at wave house this afternoon, but not sure what dahlback played that cheesy god awful music after me, didnt even know i was on the same gig as these guys!! lol ... seriously what the hell is that sound!! eeeekkkk

-Steve Lawler

In defence of Chris Lawrence, at least he's got his own sound. (darker, more psy ish trance)

Though I don't think he deserves a top 10 spot. Top 25 maybe.

Hahaha, I'm thinking this list is completely fabricated by the DJMag editors for their enjoyment of people's reactions after.

Editor 1: "Okay okay, how about we stick the 5 DJs who did fuck all the whole year at the top, and a polka band in the top 20."
Editor 2: "You don't like my 50 cent idea?"
Editor 3: "Nah, I think that may be pushing it. We'll see how it goes this year with the polka band, and put fifty in next year."

You have got to be kidding me. By far the most out-of-whack poll I have seen yet of our music scene yet. All I can say is keep supporting the DJs you like by going out to their gigs and buying their music. Honestly if DJ Mag wants to continue this ridiculous MTV-like poll then fine so be it but I think anyone who knows their music knows that poll has lost any credibility steadily over the last few years. Its become clear that they favor certain DJs and we will never know how much they tip the votes in favor of certain DJs. I really find it hard to believe PVD beat out Armin this year for the #1 spot. I like his stuff but c'mon he hasn't done near what Armin has done over the last couple of years. But oh wait that's right...isn't he a regular columnist for DJ Mag? Seeing Tiesto drop to #3 is no suprise after the fallout he had with DJ Mag some time ago.

At any rate it was good to see some fresh new talent like Sander Van D. come in high on the chart - well deserved. And seriosly...DJ Dan at #5??? I find that extremely hard to believe...I can't possibly see him getting more votes than Ferry, Deep Dish, Carl Cox, Sander K. or any of the other big names on there. Oh wait haven't I seen him do an article or two in DJ Mag....?

He did a REALLY good TATW guestmix a while back, if memory serves.

Originally posted by sufee_b well I dont think this even supposed to be a contest about skill (and it shouldnt be), it is about popularity but i think some what to do with who can rock the fuckin house and who knows the music and has a certain style

Ya but if that were the case, then christopher lawrence wouldnt be ranked higher than ferry or sasha.

I think christopher lawrence is a great dj but hes not as much of a crowd pleaser as the other 2 I just mentioned especially since hes making a transition to psychedelic so i have a feeling a bunch of people got together and really messed with the polls by posting multiple votes or something.

EDIT: I just noticed that John 00 fleming isnt even in the top 100 ... thats just disappointing

Just got back from Fabric & can confirm that is the correct list. Good night, rammed to the rafters though.... (far too many vandit t-shirts for my liking )

Originally posted by TranceGrooves Isnt it kind of funny that before the poll, alot of people go around saying how they dislike it and they will never vote and how this is bunch of BS. But, when it is time for the results the same people cant stop posting in all sorts of forums and raise their voice as to why their fav. dj didnt make the cut and are first to point fingers at djs who did make it and the fans who voted for those djs lolz.

Nail on the head there. End of the day its an open vote for peoples favourite dj, by no means is it a poll about skill & technical level. People who think one dj doesnt deserve it will get another person somewhere else saying the opposite. One mans noise, another mans music etc.

With regards to 'spamming' or allegations of vote rigging, i mean ill be honest i dont blame anyone. They would do just what anyone else would do in a similar situation.

People seem to forget its just like a General Election for voting for Government in your country, every candidate/party will make sure you know about their policies etc, DJ Mag runs along the same lines.

However a lot of you would be suprised how many promoters across the world will book djs soley on DJ Mag placings for the annual awards. A top 50 place can double a DJ's international bookings for the year. I guess a DJ's livelihood depends on the bookings, therefore a good DJ Mag rank in the poll will help matters no end!
