Paul Van Who?

Just kidding.

The results for DJ Mag's 2005 Top 100 DJ's are out. A staggering 123,933 dance music fans voted in DJmag's 2005 Top 100 DJs poll. That's 33,000 more than last year and a true indication that dance music is still a massive global phenomenon.

The truly global reach of DJ culture was once again highlighted with votes coming in from 147 different countries. The USA provided the most votes in 2005, closely followed by the UK, and then Germany.

Trance DJs continued to dominate the higher positions in the Top 10. However the big news is that Paul van Dyk took the crown from Tiesto to take the No.1 position, after the Dutch superstar's three years at the top spot. It's the first time the German trance DJ has been voted No.1 in his career and comes on top of his release earlier this year of Politics of Dancing 2.

This year the progressive house DJ's lead with John Digweed and Deep Dish by jumping two places to No.6 and No.8 respectively. Hernan Cattaneo went to No.7, DJ Vibe rocketed up 40 places and Desyn Masiello, Luke Fair, Martin Garcia, Moshic, Chus & Ceballos and Christian Cambas all made it into the Top 100 for the first time. Interestingly though, all of the Global Underground Nubreed DJs: Danny Howells, Steve Lawler, Lee Burridge and Satoshi Tomiie took falls. Good news for the prog house jocks there no sign of our favourite progressive trance maisters though.
