Pioneer DJ & DJ Times Present: America’s Best DJ Competition & Summer Tour Patrick RoughtonWednesday, June 4, 2014Drum and BassDubstepElectroEventsHouseNews0 Comments From disc-scratching icons to basement producers in the fast lane, America’s dance-music explosion has birthed some of the most talented artists in the game. But let’s skip the politics and bring it all to a vote – WHO IS AMERICA’S BEST DJ? The three-month-long “America’s Best DJ” competition asks music fans to cast a vote for their favorite US-based DJ from a list of 100 nominees (as selected by the editors of DJ Times magazine). By voting online at the America’s Best DJ website, not only will your favorite DJ come that much closer to winning, but you’ll also have the chance to win awesome prizes from Pioneer DJ, DJ Times and additional sponsors G-Shock and Las Vegas’ Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub. Vote & Win: One lucky voter (plus a guest) will win a grand-prize trip for two to Las Vegas that includes roundtrip airfare, hotel accommodations, and VIP treatment at the America’s Best DJ Closing Party/Award Ceremony at Marquee Nightclub on October 12. (Note: Both the online vote and tour run from Memorial Day to Labor Day). The grand-prize drawing will take place on September 4. We encourage everyone to go out there and vote ASAP! Past winners have certainly reflected different interpretations of the DJ craft including Z-Trip (2009), DJ QBert (2010), Markus Schulz (2012), and Kaskade (2011 & 2013). 2014 America’s Best DJ Nominees: Alvin Risk Armand Van Helden A-Trak Baauer Bad Boy Bill Bassnectar Blake Jarrell 3lau BT Carl Craig Carnage Cedric Gervais Christopher Lawrence Claude VonStroke Crizzly The Crystal Method Danny Tenaglia David Morales Dennis Ferrer Derrick Carter Designer Drugs Dieselboy Dillon Francis Diplo The Disco Fries DJ Bl3nd DJ Boris DJ Craze DJ Creme DJ Dan DJ Enferno DJ Godfather DJ Shadow DJ Shiftee DJ Skribble Dubfire DVS1 Erick Morillo Faust & Shortee Felix Da Housecat Filo & Peri Flosstradamus François K Gabriel & Dresden George Acosta Girl Talk Grandmaster Flash Green Velvet Jazzy Jeff Jeff Mills Josh Wink Just Blaze Justin Martin Kevin Saunderson Kill The Noise Krewella Kristina Sky Lee Foss Louie Vega Maceo Plex Manufactured Superstars Mark Farina Markus Schulz Marques Wyatt The Martinez Brothers Matthew Dear Max Vangeli Mike Huckaby Miguel Migs Mix Master Mike Moby Morgan Page Nicolas Jaar Porter Robinson Pretty Lights QBert Reid Speed RL Grime Robbie Rivera Roger Sanchez Roonie G Saeed Younan Seven Lions Sharam Shogun Skrillex Sleepy & Boo Soul Clap Stacey Pullen Steve Aoki TOKiMONSTA Tommie Sunshine Tritonal Trouble & Bass Crew 12th Planet Vice Victor Calderone Wolf + Lamb Wolfgang Gartner Z-Trip Americas Best DJ competition kicked off last month in Detroit, MI and will continue on through out the summer hitting cities like New York, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, and San Francisco, to name a few!
