Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike top DJ Poll
By Chris Cooke | Published on Monday 19 October 2015
DJ Mag’s very latest fan-voted DJ Poll – announced during the Amsterdam Music Festival bit of the Amsterdam Dance Event this weekend – is topped by a duo for the first time, in the form of the Thivaios brothers from Belgium, aka Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. They pushed that Hardwell chap into second place. Yeah, about time too.
Say the brothers in unison: “Thank you so much! Since day one we’ve put every bit of energy and time we can into our music and our shows in order to give the fans the greatest experience any DJ could offer. So it’s such an incredible honour to receive this award knowing it’s from the guys that matter most to us”.
Hmm, fans, fuck em I say, but then they didn’t just vote me to the top of a big list of the greatest 100 deejays in the world. Though that’s only because I didn’t ask them too. And I don’t DJ. And I can’t DJ. And anyway, since my self-imposed fizzy drinks ban I’m not sure I could have anything to do with an event sponsored by 7up.
Anyway, here is a list of the top 100 DJs according to voting fans. 29 are from The Netherlands apparently. Which at least means, with the poll now being announced at ADE, the scheme’s carbon footprint is down, even if its sugary drink consumption is up.
