Who’s the greatest DJ of all time?
It seems its’ now not enough to simply have DJ mag on the hunt for the top 100 DJ’s of 2010. (queue an abnormal amount of spam in your inbox from DJ’s that you have never heard off, vote for me! I played at my nans 70th birthday once!). Mixmag have now also jumped on the DJ poll bandwagon, and are on the hunt to crown the greatest DJ of all time!
Now we know the top 100 see’s the same trance heavyweights reigning supreme at the top of the league year in year out, so with that in mind mixmag have taken a fresh approach, and have shortlisted the contenders ready for you to choose your favourite (so no, Mr unknown bedroom jock, you’re not in for a chance to win this one.) The list offers a surprising amount of diversity and features some real ‘back in the day’ legends, which is fitting really considering that this poll is for the greatest DJ of all time, it invites us to look at some of the real ground breaking accomplishments that have been achieved by the pioneers of the noble craft. What’s more, pop on over to the voting website and you can watch video content and read bio’s and interviews on all the shortlisted spinsters, making it worth a visit just to scrub up on your DJ history.
