Re: top 100 dj's

Simon Posford used to be in Juno Reactor, I believe (or Astral Projection) and Skazi is one of the world´s most famous Psy-trance DJ´s.

At least that´s what my trance-loving friends tell me, i must have heard a grand total of 5 minutes of their stuff in my whole life.

Re: top 100 dj's

That list is positively retarded. And DJmag couldn't even tell good music apart if it came up and fucked em sideways

Re: top 100 dj's

It's so frustrating when we read a poll as tainted as this one because it doesn't reflect our tastes - but overall its fun to analyze and discuss polls (popular opinion). Thats why I think MS should do a poll. This community would be a great test case for what is up in the Progressive and House genres (and all others... even proper trance). Give it some thought MS, it would be a great community building tool.

Note: My one positive out of this years DJ Mag poll: Sporter finally getting the recognition he deserves.

yeah sure we can be a great test market for prog and house, but unfrotunately the scene includes more then just that. What about trance, breaks, drum n bass, etc. If you are going to do a top DJ poll you need to include all DJ's or it is biased.

Re: top 100 dj's

whether the list is retarded or not we all know its a popularity contest ... maybe next year it would be as laughable as http://www.thedjlist.com/djs/

Re: top 100 dj's

this is offer nism.

bwahahahahahahahahahhaha

Offer, or Ophra as he is affectionatly called here, loves to swish his long flowing locks of hair all over the place. He opened for Diggers here last year and the look on Diggers face as Ophra was doing her thing was hysterical.



Digweed watching Ophra Nissim - Palamachim Beach Summer 05

But this is a fine example of why this poll sucks - Nissim plays in Israel, plus he's been playing regularly in Paris, but clearly nowhere near enough to have him so highly placed in the poll; however his productions - faggy house (although speaking as a fag myself, they do nowt for me) clearly is what has got him so high up in the poll. Obviously the people who voted have never seen him live - we had the misfortune back in March at a two day event (Digweed headlined Saturday - Nissim Friday) - Nissim was absolutly terrible. I remember my youth club days in the early 80's; the dj's were far more technically minded and all they did is put one on, take one off!!!!

And for those that care. . . this is Skazi



He closed for Diggers in Eilat back in march - thank god we were wasted, thats all i can say. Psy-Trance never was my thing.

Re: top 100 dj's

the more i look at the list the more i scratch my head and feel as if i'm totally out of touch with the whole "scene" as it were... in all honesty i've never heard of, much less ever listened to or seen the following:

24. AMADEUS ? New Entry
37. DJ SKAZI ? New Entry
55. WRECKED MACHINES ? New Entry
56. DION MAVATH ? New Entry
68. SIMON POSFORD ? New Entry
72. MENNO DE JONG ? New Entry
79. ANDERSON NOISE ? New Entry
86. TALLA 2 XLC ? New Entry
90. AXEL KARAKASIS ? New Entry
93. AXWELL ? New Entry

anyone heard of any of the above? any worth listening to? I imagine one of them has to be a halfway decent dj...

55: http://www.wreckedmachines.com/ Psy Trance
56:http://www.thedjlist.com/djs/DION_MAVATH/ House
72:http://www.thedjlist.com/djs/MENNO_DE_JONG/ Trance
79:http://www.thedjlist.com/djs/ANDERSON_NOISE/ Techno
90:http://www.axelkarakasis.com/ Techno
Personally have a few Anderson Noise & Karakasis tracks
good minimal tech stuff.

As for DQ's response: What, after a day, no trance bashing? Oh wait, it's because I didn't start this thread Trance bashing is so 2005

Re: top 100 dj's

Re: top 100 dj's

Re: top 100 dj's

well, this year's top100 poll, was just like the last years, trance all the way, all other great djs were left out
i guess with the internet developing more every year, more people have the chance to vote every year and like they say, trance is for the crowds, i dont really understand why, but from what i see in these polls, it's really the crowds choice
anyways, i'm sure wherever danny tenaglia, sasha, digweed, zabiela, yunus, or any other dj that i like will be in this poll, i wont go to see cristopher lawrence or amadeus or anderson noise, just because they managed to get into this poll
i too would rather have this poll split into genders of electronic music, it's a shame to see cristopher lawrence or amadeus? before steve lawler, it's just not nice

Re: top 100 dj's

oh dear, bit a of a poor show chaps.

results look extremely dodgy.

Howells should never have been that low, especially with all these unknown monkeys appearing out of nowhere.

u have to think who the hell votes.

maybe we should start up our own poll to get a better idea of the lay of the land -> http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/...ad.php?t=33703

i totally agree... anyone who has ever seen Danny Howells know's he should be up there in at least the top 25... i'm surprised i didn't see Sander Klienenberg... even though i think he took a bit of a break... he's a really great Dj.

Re: top 100 dj's

guys, for the most part this list is nonsense, shit , half the dj's we love wouldn't be in the top 100 anyway

* dj's like G-Pal and Anthony Pappa just doing there own residencies and club gigs, not super venues and festivals all over the world, this is just a popularity contest

I just noticed Anthony Pappa isn't even up there... unreal... in my opinion... but i guess your right... i haven't heard of him coming to Canada in quite sometime... i loved his last performance here in toronto though... i've never seen anyone with more upfront material than that guy... he really knows how to put on a show also... one of my fav's for sure.

Is Ophra a guy or girl.
