There wasn’t too many surprises following the announcement of DJ Mag’s annual Top 100 DJ’s list (and not in a good way!). Similarly, there is little surprise that some big name DJ’s and producers took to Twitter to voice their grievances and offer some humourous opinions on the latest poll.
The usual cynics have reared their trolling heads – namely twitter gossip dynamo’s Deadmau5 and DJ Sneak – supporting our, and DJ Yoda’s conviction that the top 100 may not be the most accurate reflection of the talent on offer. Yesterday Yoda offered up his personal top 100 and it’s certainly the best list we’ve seen to date. Yoda’s Top 100 and some of the sentiments shared below reassure us that not all hope is lost!

So I guess people didn’t vote much for @TJR @djcarnage @atrak @dirtysouth @Will__Sparks huh? They are AMAZING DJs to me. Bit confused. — Laidback Luke (@LaidbackLuke) October 19, 2013
@LaidbackLuke @TJR @djcarnage @dirtysouth @Will__Sparks Thanks Luke but it’s ok, my V-necks aren’t deep enough for the DJmag list.

I’m convinced that being from the Netherlands helps your ranking on DJ Mag top 100

Regardless of how good or bad this years @DJmag Top 100 Djs results are, it still doesn’t change my love for pizza. — Night Crime (@NightCrimeMusic) October 20, 2013
Dj top 100 make believe djs. I would challenge any of them on the decks any day > Proper schooling they would get. Don’t believe the hype! — Dj Sneak (@DJ_Sneak) October 20, 2013
I mean is this wrong or what. Looks like the Dutch like paying for placement in this shit list. Almost puked. pic.twitter.com/s0q6ngTVcS — Dj Sneak (@DJ_Sneak) October 20, 2013
