Number2Fan Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Slightly disappointing, who is Tiddy btw? Aww poor Jules, I think he's better than PvD and he's certainly a nicer person than Buuren and Tiesto. Nevermind, that's coz his show was on at a rubbish time I say, and because it's quite hard to dance properly to White stripes in a club. Might've been the pasta sauce too. most of that list I disagree with. Durand should be higher than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 The fact that Oakenfold is still in the top 100 beggars belief, also Deadmau5 has got there solely on production value not DJing. I really have so little interest in the poll anymore that I can't say I'm too bothered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Mayes Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Gareth Emery Kyau & Albert Richard Durand Aly & Fila should be right up there that top 100 poll is so full of s*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only good thing about this poll is that Markus Schulz is at number 8. He thoroughly deserves it because he's consistent, down to earth, doesn't take himself to seriously, and his sets always sound fresh. It also baffles me that someone with Eddie's talent sits at number 19, whilst someone who slaps mixes in on a laptop with no imagination sits at number 3. And how did Blandy Moor get to number 18?

C.D.Santos Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Great to see Above & Beyond up in fourth probably one of the few dj's that play solely uplifting trance. What the hell is O'Callaghan doing down there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 And how did Blandy Moor get to number 18? He's probably not your thing mate but whenever I have seen Andy play he's been right up there with anyone else I've had the pleasure to watch play, what makes him appeal on my level is the amount of fresh tunage he plays, always hear loads of unsigned stuff & personal edits in his sets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that the first time I saw Markus Schulz though - and ever since then, he's always impressed me, so I should learn not to judge DJ's after one appearance.

Number2Fan Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 PVD is better than Jules. I would class PVD to be an innovator I don't. I find hima bit boring now, I used to like him as much as Jules many moons ago but after seeing him play out a number of times I got sick of the same old set. To be fair I aint seen him recently but his tunes aren't going anywhere atm. Altho, jules' tunes were a bit samey at one point I do like where they're going atm. Dont get me wrong PvD done good sets, but they were ALL the same to me. AND I SAID ALL THAT WITHOUT SWEARING TOO! BTW I couldn't see Dave Pearce on that list? Is he there?

Robin Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Quite like Andy's sound - its a bit more melodic and lighter to all this banging stuff thats around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kml Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I don't.

PVD has better live dj skills than Jules in my opinion but jules is a better radio dj. Well done on not swearing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 J's musical style over the past year has been too confused and the number of bootlegs played simply hasn't particularly impressed upon people. Production wise, he needed to have more big tracks which stood out amongst everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonross46 Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Well he'll always be my number one! ... and you will always be his number 2 I'm personally suprised about Richard Durand, John O'Callaghan, and Simon Patterson. Sort of pleased Armin is number 1 again though, I do like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Simon, they've all been red hot on the production front especially in non European territories which has helped an awful lot because they've also had DJ presence in these countries too. It bodes well for trance music I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number2Fan Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Eddie should be higher and above and beyond should be above tiesto, Armins pretty cool. Where's Dave? Oh yeah and I just wanna say Eric Prydz??? WTF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Kane Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 Oh yeah and I just wanna say Eric Prydz??? WTF! In what way do you mean that? Prydz is absolutely class, I'm surprised he's not higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted October 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I'd have thought there would be more of the 'indie-electro' type DJ's in the list this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 shocked yet again that Infected Mushroom are in the Top 10, yet there's no sign of John 00 Fleming! Ferry Corsten should have placed higher IMO. He's been better than Armin for over a year now. As for PvD, I've never really rated him as a DJ, even back in the 98-99 years. The Judge scored low, but like has already been said, losing his Saturday evening warm up slot probably made people think he'd just disappeared off the radio altogether. Yet again, another year, another poll, another farce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonman Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 I'd have thought there would be more of the 'indie-electro' type DJ's in the list this year. I was going to say it but you beat me to it. This list is a load of crap. 2 Many DJ's, Justice? A-Trak...where are these guys surely they are more cutting edge than PVD or Tiesto? For music thats supposedly moving forward, the Top 100 DJ poll has remained pretty stagnant the last 4-5 years. This is why i'm getting more and more back into rock, and to be honest, am not really that bothered about lists like these anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
