So the last days many people talking about the results of DJ Mag's poll for the Top 100 DJs of 2010. The results are not official, because the official announcement is set to be on 27th of October 2010 at Ministry of Sound, London & Sankeys, Manchester, but somehow leaked and seems to be real. I don't know if they are real or fake and noone knows, but I will write some words abou these results. Before I give you the results let's clear some important things. Which is the reason of this poll and very importand what are the criteria of the voting? We voting for the best DJ skills? Productions? Or just our favourite DJ/Producer? These questionsis are not so easy to be answered and that's why I don't consider this poll so objective. Also there are DJ DJs/Producers from so many genres and it's not easy to rank them all into an one list, although it's the only one Poll that it is recognized from the most of the DJs/Producers if not from all of them. So it's something like the official voting.
It's time to take a first look at the results. Let's see them and below I will write so thoughts.

So this is the Top 100 list. I'm so happy for some names but too dissapointed for some others. Let's start from the Top. For the 4th time in a row the Trance DJ from Netherlands, Armin van Buuren is no 1, so he is the number 1 DJ in the whole world. Hm...I'm not agree with that, anyway second is mr David Guetta (are you kidding me?) and Tiesto is filling the Top 3. Why the hell David Guetta is second? Come on guys, we choose it. This is a joke lol. If you see carefully the list especially the top entries you will see so many Trance names. What going on with Trance, why so many?
Let's continue, I'm really happy for Deadmau5 who is 4th and I think he deserves to be higher. It's time for our our lovely Swedish House Mafia, Axwell has moved 4 spots up and now he is no 10 (only? I want him no 1), Steve is 14th and Sebastian Ingrosso16th, as the SHM trio they are 24th, well done guys, I'm really glad about that because you are killing at the gigs in my opinion. LBL is 17th and Afrojack is a new entry at 19 (omg, what the hell is going on?), Fedde Le Grand who is one of the best DJs at live has moved closer to the top and he is 21th. One of my big dissapointments, Eric Prydz ONLY 30th!!! How did this happened? Our anthem God don't deserve to be so down, Eric Prydz 4 President now!!! The Swedish wonder kid, the young Avicii is also a new comer thank God. Let's go back to the sad news, Erick Morillo is only 48th (!!!), a great joke. Did anyone saw him live at a gig? This guy is full of energy and he is one of the best and his productions are great. A very big dissapointment is Dirty South, he is at 75th place and I voted him, ppfff. Ok he didn't have many released but everything that he is making is amazing and his live sets are very good. How can be the House Guru, Pete Tong 85th? I can't get it, because it is not right. Closing I'm happy for Dada Life and Paul Kalkbrenner, they actually did it and made it to the Top 100.
But let's think some names that are missing from the list. Where the hell is Sebastien Leger? Although he wrote that "I'm out of the top 100 "dj" mag - i think it's quiet a good thing actually ! (but thanx to the fans who voted for me anyway)" I think he is not so happy. In addition Funkagenda is missing, he wrote "As I suspected I am not in there. More shocking for me is Dirty South at only 75? Morillo at only 48?" and you can go here to read what he is saying.
When I was voting I hoped that some of these names: AN21, Max Vangeli, Tristan Garner, Eddie Thoneick, Norman Doray, Dimitri Vegas, Like Mike, John Dahlback, Albin Myers, might make it and be in the list, but sadly they aren't. I truly hope the voters will change the way that they vote in the future because if they don't the list will be something like this.
That's all from me for now and let's wait 2 days more until the official announcement of the result and see if these are the real ones. Now it's your turn to tell what do you think except from me. Let's make a conversation xD
