DJ Mag reveals 2012 Top 100DJs poll results Sat 20th Oct, 2012 in International News
The results of the ever-contentious DJ Mag Top 100 DJ poll for 2012 have been announced, with the leading name in trance Armin van Buuren taking the #1 spot. You can read how he did it again in our sit-down with Armin van Buuren from ADE. In 2011, the poll saw a shift in the ranks. After a four-year stranglehold of the #1 position, Armin was unseated by David Guetta. Now, following a strong 12 months at the helm of A State Of Trance and Armada, the Dutchman has reclaimed his spot for a fifth year. In the second and third spots respectively are Stereosonic headliners Tiesto and Avicii, with Guetta now in the #4 spot. Dutch big-room gun and Future Music Festival recruit Hardwell made one of the poll’s biggest jumps to #6.
The results were just announced at a special ceremony during Amsterdam Dance Event. It’s the kick-off of a whirlwind night for Armin. He’s starting things off by DJing at Amsterdam Convention Factory alongside Hardwell, Arty, Sander van Doorn and R3hab, then flying by private jet to London for a party at Ministry Of Sound with Markus Schulz, Thomas Gold, Orjan Nilsen and Sean Tyas.
His return to the top spot of the poll is sure to vindicate the Armin acolytes. “I still believe in melodic, uplifting trance,” the DJ told inthemix this year. “If you listen to A State Of Trance, you’ll see I still support that and I’m not changing my sound. I’ve always made different-sounding tracks: Drowning, Feels So Good. And then I make tracks as Gaia, a track with Orjan Nilsen, or something like Suddenly Summer. I like to vary my palette, and I have no illusions that everyone will love everything I do. Staying stuck in one sound doesn’t inspire me.”
