“This one came together very quickly, I initially downloaded this vocal first becuase I liked this song the best out of all of the Lights tracks in the remix competition but I found it wasn’t working out with my clubby Trance track I was writing so I set it aside and did the Banner remix instead. Came back to this later and checked to see how it fit with the Breaks track I had originally intended to use in the Toes remix and I liked the feel of it. I think it turned out pretty good for getting pieced together last minute and keeping me up all night long trying to make the deadline.”

“This is my nu-school Cybertrance remix. Inspired by AVICII and the portamento synths of the Cybertrance sound of yesteryear. :) I feel like this song could finish in the top 20 just because it is pretty different from the rest of the remixes. Most people did faster Dubstep type remixes because the original track is around 75 or 150 BMP range, but check it out and send me a vote.”

So MixMag did this Poll and I didn’t vote. In fact I didn’t even know this poll existed, but nonetheless here it is.

10. 2Many DJs (Who?)
09. Tony DeVit (A definite Legend)
08. Sasha
07. Paul van Dyk
06. Ricardo Villalobos (Not sure how he snuck in there)
05. Carl Cox (Isn’t he a cage fighter these days)
04. Andy C
03. Sven Vath
02. Richie Hawtin (Should have been #1)
01. Tiesto

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
