Last night was DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs announcement party in London. Unfortunately, I couldn't go because I had to write two papers. The best news about the results is that Deadmau5 moved up two spots from number 4 to number 6. That is huge! I am definitely bewildered by Armin van Buuren. This is his fourth year in a row as the number one DJ. I think he is a very talented trance DJ, but I don't really see his music as anything that amazing or fantastic especially not to warrant four best DJ awards in a row. There's also a serious misrepresentation of dubstep on the list. Whatever, here's the top ten.
1 Armin van Buuren (non-mover)
2 David Guetta (up 1)
3 Tiesto (down 1)
4 Deadmau5 (up 2)
5 Above & Beyond (down 1)
6 Paul van Dyk (down 1)
7 Gareth Emery (up 2)
8 Markus Schulz (non-mover)
9 Ferry Corsten (down 2)
10 Axwell (up 4)
