No love for my man Three. But that's just the way he wants it!
Seriously though, this list is laughable. No substance in about 50% of it. And that's being kind.

Three is amazing, has been forever, probably more so now.
There was something I read not to long ago about how DJ Mag took the contest pretty seriously. I personally don't take it seriously because as long as there's less DJ's than voters the results will never please DJ's.
Has hip hop been invented, can't see a single hip hop dj on there, most are producers in this chart half of who can't actually dj, it is funny.
people don't get wound up the mag will be gone in a few years
One of the greatest DJ's that 'nobody' knows.
Put on an absolute beast of a show in a warehouse in the middle of Brooklyn one night a couple of winters ago with Sasha, and Taimur. I still don't remember where it was! I just remember walking out at 10am with the music still blasting
Saw him again in the summer in Brooklyn 'with' Function of Sandwell District (they played in different rooms). Another amazing show, he was set up on a table with my lady friend and I standing three feet in front of him. Hung out with Function at my buddy's apartment after the show :O. That was interesting

What appealed to me about Three, was way back when funky breaks ruled the south and the straight and gay club scene hadn't fractured between raves and circuit party. Three would mix breaks and house super fluid. The stagger between the two that would normally happen would be lip biting funk when he pulled it off. I got a chance to talk to him about that sweet spot, he claims it is phrasing, which I agree, but his selection to phrase is more important.

There's no doubt that the list does contain wall to wall serious DJ talent. But I'm guessing that a huge number of those DJs loitering in the bottom end of the 100 could destroy David Guetta at a gig.
It's all about popularity, and who has the best marketing machine. It's all a rather pointless exercise, and ultimately meaningless, especially when you consider the total absence of some huge DJ names.
