Choosing the best club music artist is for the most part a battle of tastes. There are many areas that are fundamentally different from each other. However, annual ratings are compiled annually, which include the best DJs. We will find out who is now the leader of this list in Russia and in the world.
What are the criteria for choosing the best DJs
There are several ways to be among the best. In most cases, ratings are based on the number of listeners and fans. You can call it a popular vote. However, one cannot say that such a rating is objective, because people listen to those who often speak and have the ability to broadcast on the radio.
In the world, it is customary to select DJs on the lists of the best fees. Russia cannot yet compete with European and American club performers, as their fees are measured in hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The most truthful DJ rating is when the performers choose the best of their colleagues on their own. Here everything is taken into account: from the style of the game to the use of non-banal combinations of sound. Such lists often indicate the gaining popularity of performers who have every chance of becoming famous throughout the country.
Five of the best DJs in the world
When we hear the phrase "best DJs", then we immediately come to mind the names of world celebrities. This year, professional media published the following list of the best:
- Tiësto is the most popular DJ. He is one of the highest paid performers.
- The Skrillex (Sony John Moore) did what only a few DJs in the world could achieve. He has several Grammy awards and has repeatedly received similar commemorative signs in Europe.
- Swedish House Mafia is a group of several DJs, today they have already completed their touring activities, but have not lost popularity.
- David Guetta is almost a legend among DJs. He was able to achieve unprecedented popularity, in particular thanks to videos on Youtube.
- Steve Hiroyuki Aoki is actively touring. Despite his Asian background, he spends most of his time in the USA and Europe.
All listed world DJs have high fees and prestigious music awards. Their tracks can be heard on almost all radio stations in the world, and clips collect hundreds of thousands of views.
The most famous DJs in the world
The rating above did not include the best DJs of the last decade. For example, Paul Van Dyke from Germany. He is not only a talented performer, but also the owner of his own brand of clothing Dirty Couture. He is also the director of a television show. More than one generation of club music lovers has grown on his work.
Deadmau5 (Thomas Zimmerman) attracts attention with his stage costume - he puts on a huge Mickey Mouse mask for performances. At the same time, he was able to interest the fans with his work, which allows him to receive fabulous fees.
Popular Russian DJs
We should also talk about which Russian DJs entered the ranking of the best this year:
- DJ Lvov. It can be heard in the metropolitan club "NEO". Performances take place every weekend.
- DJ Riga from Moscow is the favorite of millions. He has been performing since 1998, now he is a resident of DFM, has his own show.
- DJ Romeo has been performing for over 17 years. During that time, he managed not only to acquire fans, but also to launch his own clothing line. Owns several clubs and restaurants.
- DJ Kubikov is currently working on the SCSi-9 project in Europe. Perhaps soon we will meet him in the world ranking.
- DJ Leonid Rudenko is already world famous. He began his career under the auspices of manager Paul Van Dyke. It can often be found on European charts.
All of these DJs have the opportunity to earn world fame. They have crowds of fans and high fees for Russia.
Who will be included in the ratings in the near future?
While venerable Russian DJs retire or move to Europe, young and promising performers appear in the domestic show business. They are not afraid to experiment with sound and record interesting tracks. For example, Dj ONeill Sax from St. Petersburg, combining electronic music and playing the saxophone. Perhaps he is not as widely known as Rudenko, but many European stations have already included his tracks in the rotation lists.
The Swanky Tunes quartet from Saratov has earned popularity due to its playing technique. The participants in this project set a real record - a remix of the song "Spring" (performer "Dolphin") was included in the rotation on all radio stations of popular music in Russia. Later remixes set records for downloading. Swanky Tunes - the best DJs in the country according to professionals. The quartet received recognition from other DJs, which is extremely important.
Why do not everyone agree with the ratings
Our ratings may not appeal to everyone. One should not argue about tastes. Among the world and domestic stars of the club scene, there are many talented people. Everyone will be able to find the artist that will appeal to them. Some only create their own tracks, while others prefer to remix. Almost any track can find its listener.
Many may disagree with the lists of the best because of a love of a particular musical style. After the heyday of club culture, a huge number of trends appeared in it. If before any electronic music was called "techno", now people who are far from club life can get confused in their styles. Despite some subjectivity, lists of the best musicians are compiled with enviable frequency.
