DJ MAG
Tiësto Does the Treble
For a record-breaking third year in a row, the Dutch master Tiësto holds the number one spot. There really is no disputing this man's position in the hearts of clubbers across the globe. Previously, Paul Oakenfold and Carl Cox have both won the award twice, but Tiësto has taken things to a whole new level with his 25,000 capacity stadium gigs and DJing at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games to a TV audience in excess of 4.5 billion. There really is no other individual who could claim the title of Top 100 DJ 2004, and we congratulate Tiësto for his amazing achievement, and our Poll's first ever 'treble'!
Top 100 Trends
As the reach of the Poll spreads into new areas of the world, competition for the100 places has become fiercer than ever. The USA provided most votes this year, closely followed by the UK, Holland and then South American dance hotspot Uruguay. Growing dance scenes in countries like China and increased internet access in Eastern Europe will certainly have an effect on future polls too. Some established names have been squeezed out in '04 by fresh young DJs, many of them Dutch trace jocks, highlighting the ongoing passionate voting that comes from Tiësto's home country. |

Hooray for Tiesto, damn if Armin couldn't be number 1 then at least the number 2 ... :(
What on earth is ATB doing on 13 and Benny Benassi on 18 .. thats so unbelievable! ATB > Benny Benassi okay, but 13? (I don't want all those ATB groupies to flame :stongue: )
Although I think that to much Dj's on this list got overrated or really underrated, it still has a a lot of real good names in the top 50! And it's good to see that the Dutch Dj scene still is one that knows how to produce and mix very universal so several nationalities and cultures can appreciate it!
Tiesto on 1? Well I may not agree about the way he is going the last few years (production and set-wise), but he does do a lot of special things like the olympics and stuff, and he really is an entertainer, gives attention to his fans and comes everywhere in the world. I think his number 1 one position is not weird or anything, to be very honest :) And actually I already knew it (a long with 1000's others here) |

ya i have i remember him playing club space last year and ppl saying it was great and what not. other then that haven't heard much. here's his BIO
Hernan Cattaneo
--------------------------------------------------------
Growing up in Buenos Aires, Hernan listened to Europop bands like Simply Red and Level 42, music he found sifting through Billboard magazine (the only music journal he could get at the time). But in 1987 a friend visited Vinylmania in New York City and brought back a sweet taste of Chicago house in the form of Traxx and DJ International pressings, which featured artists like Frankie Knuckles, Derrick May and Inner City. "They blew my mind," exclaims Hernan. "I loved them because they combined the energy of Europe's electronic music - bands like Depeche Mode and New Order - with the soul of American music. After that, everything changed for me."
Shortly after, Hernan scored a residency in a small club in Buenos Aires that led to him being invited to play in clubs throughout South America. His talent was fast becoming recognised and in 1996 he secured the hotly contested residency for a new weekly Saturday entitled ‘Clubland’. Within 2 years the night had developed and was being hailed as Argentina’s best club. Soon all the world’s elite were beating down the door, giving Hernan the chance to share the booth with DJs like Sasha, John Digweed, Danny Tenaglia, Carl Cox, Darren Emerson and, of course, Paul Oakenfold. The night went from strength to strength and, as the Millennium loomed, became widely regarded as the best in the world, with Hernan’s contribution being cited as a major part of its success. On hearing Hernan's eclectic deep house, tribal and progressive sets, Cream immediately chose him as their South American resident. He then went on to win Best DJ Award in 1996 and 1997. From there its only a matter of time before Hernan would get the chance to played beyond his home continent, que one Paul Oakenfold, who invited Hernan to tour Europe with him. It was from this point on that universities and clubs throughout England and Europe began to hear the sounds of Hernan Cattaneo, which in turn, led to his Perfecto signing for both the seminal ‘Deep Funk’ and ‘South America, his first original production and mix compilation respectively.
In '98 and '99, Hernan also toured the States with Oakenfold, which introduced him to many high profile venues and events such as Nevada's Burning Man festival and the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Denver. Residencies soon followed at Cream, both in Liverpool and Ibiza; Perfecto in Ibiza and gigs from Iceland to Singapore.
Come the summer of 2001 and Hernan was playing gigs such as Channel 4's Clapham Common extravaganza to a stunning 70, 000 screaming fans. Other outstanding performances of that year included the Bedrock anniversary, Creamfields and the Cream Birthday at Nation in Liverpool. He headlined Creamfields in Buenos Aires and scored his first Homelands appearance. By the end of the year, with his club hit "Deep Funk" blowing up the charts, Hernan made # 50 on the DJ mag chart and was awarded the honour of becoming one of their cover stars. September 2001 also saw Hernan winning the 'Best Newcomer DJ' at the Pacha Ibiza awards.
The momentum did not stop there though, continuing throughout 2002 / 2003 as Hernan firmly cemented his increasing reputation, rising to # 22 in the DJ mag poll and getting re-booked to play all the aforementioned festivals (that included a 2 set appearance infront of a record-breaking attendance at Creamfields, Buenos Aries), whilst his domestic club bookings continued to take him around the world. Things were no different in the studio, where matters went from strength to strength and recently culminated in an amazing remix of Morgan Page for John Digweed's prestigious Bedrock imprint, plus an original production alongside Subliminal and Yooshi favourite, Dean Coleman. As yet unreleased, the track has more than a few labels getting hot under the collar, keep you eyes and ears peeled in the coming months...
Keen to capitalise on this consistent exposure, Hernan knew the time was coming to once again release a mix compilation and, in one of those simple twists of fate, his wish coincided with an offer from Renaissance to compile and mix their next 'Masters' compilation. From its conception back in 2000, the Masters series has always showcased some of the world’s finest DJ talent, a fact that Hernan is aware of, "I’ve always been a big fan of the Renaissance CDs, from those early Sasha and Digweed mixes through to the likes of Danny Howells and Deep Dish. It feels really good to be part of that now." With favourable reviews flooding in ahead of its imminent early February release, the juggernaut express that is Cattaneo shows no sigh of slowing down, and with another full promotional world tour confirmed, he'll be coming to a town or city near you soon - listen up and watch out people!

| Considering he very rarely plays outside North America, DJ Dan at #24 is impressive!! Also.. techno representation pretty much stayed the same on this list this year, the only dj not on last year's poll was Marco Bailey.. who should stick to producing & running labels anyway, his strength more than dj'ing. ;) |
