Top ten DJs ever

[Nephew]

There are so many ways to go about this list. It could be based on top 10 most influential, top 10 most technical, top 10 innovators, top 10 programmers and so on. This is just too broad a subject to cover.

and I think all of those would still have Craze & Qbert at the top of the list.


Unfortunately I think this is one of those most popular races, sort of like president of the student body.

the best way to go about it would be picking the top dj of his own breed... too many genres and different types of djs, it's stupid that they only picked a handful of guys that play 4/4 genres (with the exception of Andy C)...

you know when i was getting into the edm thing over 10 years ago me and my boys thought mixmag was "the source"... i don't know if it's changed or if we were just too newbish to notice what a piece of trash it is.

Preaching to the choir here duerr as you already know man...

Mixmag has always been a pile of shite.
Can't believe peeps are still getting pissed at this rag after all these years.

Ninja Tunes is solid, but I think most of their artists excel at producing more than DJing

I don't know if they would fit in all of those. Their technical skills are not in question, and their influence can not be denied.

But I don't know if I would label them as innovators or top notch programmers.

The problem is there is so many good djs out there world famous probs over 1000. Looking at other ppl top ten lists and ideas im like should I of put him in. My list would change day to day depending wat mood im in. Probs allways have craze at the top he can do everything program a night mix scratch produce he can do it all with his hands behind his back or one under his leg

that may be half true, but they are also home to some of (imo) the world's best damn djs who are probably more popular for their djing than they are for their production... you've got guys like kid koala, dj food & dk, mr.scruff, coldcut and kentaro who are all fairly proficient turntablists but also have insanely eclectic taste in music which makes for really special entertaining and educating mixes.
