It’s that time again to vote for your favorite Trance DJ in DJ Mag’s top 100 DJs for 2009. I personally don’t have anything against Trance, in fact I play Trance sometimes, but it would be nice to see a non-Trance DJ win this thing for once. Anyone want to coordinate a DanceMusicBlog top 100 DJ list? Maybe come up with a proprietary algorithm that would take user votes and survey questions and magically come up with a list that took skill, track selection, and all that stuff into account. No? Eh, well it’ll just have to remain my fantasy.

2008 Winner – Armin van Buuren
