HeadHunterz el 11!!!!! el año que viene top10!! Que grande!! Por otro lado Guetta baja al 4º jojo madre mia. Armin recupera su trono como era de esperar,otra cosa no seria logica y Tiesto vuelve al top2. Avicii se consolida y los demas del top10 los de siempre mas la inclusion de skrillex y el gran salto de Hardwell merecidisimo. Mucho djs de Hardstyle que gran noticia.

Ya te digo, muchos djs de hard style han entrado en la lista.
Paul Van Dik deberia estar mas arriba

Yo mas que Paul Van Dyk creo que Markus Schulz deberia estar mas arriba. Hay una cosa que me a sorprendido y es que en españa volvemos a ir al reves de todo europa,si os fijais en los djs, hasta el puesto 45 no se toca nada House/Technohouse que es el estilo de moda en españa. Los anteriores Trance, Progressive house, Dubstep, Hardcore, Hardstyle y Electronica. Asi vamos!!!!!

El estilo dominador parece claro que es el Trance,estilo inexistente en este pais.Asi como los demas estilos que tu bien has dicho.

Muxo Hardstyle! Grande Headhunterz!!!

Pienso que seria interesante hacer dos investigaciones. Una sobre la titularidad y/o accionariado de "DJ Mag", y otra seria rehacer la lista añadiendo los sellos que estan tras esos nombres. Seguro que encontrariamos algo mas que coincidencias.

Esta lista vale para bien poco cuando figuras como, entre otros, Arnej, Brian Kearney, BT, Joachim Garraud, Solarstone o Sven Väth estan en los puestos de cola.

En teoría esto va por votaciones de la gente, luego ya que hagan trampa...

A ver siempre lo he dicho, esta lista como a dicho Rebo esta echa por la gente, hay gente que votara con cabeza y otros votaran a sus djs preferidos sin ver mas alla de su musica. Yo lo unico que se es que a dia de hoy el estilo electronico mas escuchado del mundo es el Trance y lleva desde que se hace ganando un dj trancero quitando el año pasado que gano Guetta. Hay que decir que Guetta se hizo famoso por sus temas igual que Avicii esta en el puesto 3 gracias a su temazo. yo como digo todos los años para mi el mejor dj del mundo es Richie Hawtin y el mejor dj Trance es Giuseppe Ottaviani, pero esto es aisi. Aun asi siempre sere Pro Armin, ya que es el que mueve el Trance mundial.

No estoy de acuerdo con lo que has comentado, el trance no es ni de lejos el genero electronico mas escuchado y mas popular de la EDM, siempre ha estado a la sombra del house. Si es cierto que goza de buena salud gracias al gran colectivo de fans incondicionales que siguen de cerca la escena del trance junto con una serie de productores. El exito del trance se explica especialmente por la mayor fidelidad y entrega de su publico, no sucede lo mismo con la musica house, de mas facil acceso y mayor repercusion mediatica aunque menor profundidad.

¿Como se traduce a la realidad?

En mi opinion el house esta inmerso en una sucesion de burbujas mediaticas representadas por una serie de figuras que tienen su momento de gloria en la jerarquia de dj's. Hace años fue Bob Sinclair, el año pasado fue Guetta que corrio en paralelo con Deadmau5 que se quedo en el peldaño inmediatamente inferior y el siguiente parece que sera Avicii. Aprovechan el tiron publicitario y se plantan rapidamente entre los mejores aunque el cenit les dura poco. Es decir, en mi opinion Guetta caera en el olvido tan rapido como alcanzo la fama mediatica, en 2-3 años. ¿Y que decir de los iconos del trance?

A pesar de ser una mera encuesta de quien mola mas y quien es mas popular esta clasificacion sirve para construir una línea historica de tendencia.

El ranking parece estar anclado en figuras y leyendas del mundo "trance" (progressive house/trouse/electro) junto con las "rising stars" que van y vienen agolpandose en los primeros puestos y su continuidad dependerá de hasta que punto estan dispuesto de seguir vendiendo su imagen y reorientando sus producciones al mainstream independientemente del genero al que esten inscritos a priori. El ejercito de votantes de gente como Armin y Tiesto cuenta con nucleo duro que no se desintegrara en muchos años, ellos viven de las rentas del pasado y tienen una imagen muy labrada y consolidada pese a que sus producciones han entrado en clara decadencia, pero en el fondo a quien le importa lo que producen o quien realmente se fija en esa variable? Por que grandes productores como Daniel Kandi, Giuseppe Ottaviani o John O'Callaghan, por poner una serie de ejemplos rapidos, estan obteniendo tan poco reconocimiento mediatico? Son sus giras y directos de menor calidad artistica?

Estas votaciones son absolutamente "democraticas", es decir, si los resultados van parejos a los que desean los propietarios, bienvenidos sean; si no, pues se apañan.

Valga como ejemplo que el mismo Richie Hawtin (78 este año para DJ Mag), alguien con una formacion en electronica a considerar, es el numero 6 del mundo segun MixMag.

Queda claro que el tema que ha explotado este año 2012 a sido el Dubstep. Un estilo que pensaba que era para oidos selectos (y no lo digo por nada, solo porque es dificil de oir XD) y mira mucha gente se a enganchado.

Txitxi, pero te voy a decir, cuanto del house que tu hablas es gracias a lo comercial? La gente que escucha comercial normalmente no vota estas listas y yo me refiero que Avicii lo escuchan en garitos comerciales, no en garitos "especificos" de un estilo, que yo sepa Progressive House en euskadi solo ponen en la Fever. Otra cosa el Trance tal y como lo conocemos engloba tanto a Armin (Uplifintg), como a Tiesto (Progressive house), como a Avicii (Progrerssive house mas comercial). Piensa que el House no se escucha tanto, yo tengo amigos por todo europa y te puedo asegurar que lo que nosotros llamamos pachanga alli es lo que aqui solemos meter un poco de relleno, es decir, Avicii, Tiesto y todo eso. Asi que yo pongo en duda mucho que el House sea el estilo mas escuchado en el mundo.

Solo hay que poner el ejemplo de la incultura musical que hay por aqui de la peña se que cree que lo que ponen en el Zul / New Guass es lo que suena en casi todos los garitos y si aqui y en Valencia se lleva mucho,igual que el Royo Supermartxe / Matinee se lleva en pocos sitios, esto te hablo a nivel mundial, pero ves Dubstep, Trance o Technohouse de calidad (Es decir, para mi Technohouse de calidad ponen en Euskadi en 4 garitos asi famosos, algo en Txitxarro, Sonora, Pagoa y Sound) y no es lo que diga yo, que yo pincho Technohouse comerial, pero es que despues la peña se va Ibiza y ves a los mejores djs del mundo ya sin estar en listas de ningun tipo y no se acerca para nada a la musica que suena por aqui quitando lo que te digo garitos contados.

No esperaba que esto llegase a pasar algún día pero, por primera vez, voy a discrepar con el señor XBoy. Decir que el progressive house entra dentro del trance me parece dañino.

De la lista esta lo único que me alegra es que hayan largado al Jeta. Acto seguido veo que John O'Callaghan está en el cincuenta y pico y que Bryan Kearney en el ciento cuarenta y pico, cojo mi chaqueta y me largo.

Que este Aoki, Skrillex o las Nervo, por delante de Richie o Sven madre mia .....:facepalm:

Pues a ver Progressive house, para mi son loops de baterias de house, pero al final son melodias y sonidos trance. Yo sinceramente el problema que podemos discrepar es que en el saco del progressive house hay demasiada gente metida, que no pincha realmente eso y sobre todo hay demasiada musica etiquetada de progressive que tampoco es, lo que pasa que entre lo que hace Deadmau5 a lo que hace Avicii o lo que hace John Digweed hay una diferenecia avismal, pero para mi no deja de ser Progressive house y toda la vida eso a sido Trance. Pero que es como todos los estilos para ponerlo facil y que lo entendamos todos Hardhouse que engloba Bumpin, Poky, Hardbass... nunca porque haya un Bumpin mas pachanguero estilo TSS, Jarni por poner un ejemplo no quita que este metido en el Hardhouse incluso aunque no llegue a usar el bajo tipo bumpin.

Blackie realmente no eres consciente de la repercusion del Electro house y Dubstep a nivel mundial. Nosotros estamos muy ciegos en cuanto a musica del mundo. En estados unidos lo que se lleva es Electro House, Progressive house y Dubstep. Solo hay que ver festivales como Tomorrowland que es un gran espejo, hubo casi todo Electro house y progressive house y despues esta ya el Trance y el house. Asi que gente como Aoki, skrillex o Avicii es normal que esten por delante por Europa es pequeño, quieras o no el house o el techno como lo conocemos aqui, es algo que esta pasado de moda en casi todo el mundo quitando Europa.

esto es como ya se ha dicho antes lo que se escucha en el 90% de los garitos de españa y si no mas porcentaje, nada tiene que ver con el resto del mundo. siempre hemos, somos y seremos los raros.

de todas maneras esta lista engloba a los djs como djs, o como djs y productores? porque no tiene nada que ver una cosa con otra.

Engloba a fama, pero hace 4 años solia pinchar yo mucho un tema de Avicii que ni si quiera yo casi conocia a este productor, y ahora gracias a su tema Levels es super famoso, al final el hacer un temazo te hace conocido y entras en esta lista.

Yo conoci a Avicii con el Bom. Que es del 2008 si no me equivoco. Pero todavia hay mucha gente que cree que el levels es de Flo-rida ajajaj haerme caso.
