Your Top10 DJDreamteam
The polls are closed and the votes are counted, so without further adieu, let me introduce your Nitevibe 2007 San Francisco DJDreamteam. Coming in at number ten is DJ Seven, making his second consecutive appearance and cementing his status as a major player in the scene. After just missing the cut last year, it's great to see Dirtyhertz score the number nine spot, just below fellow breaks pioneer Smoove, who slides in at number eight. Famed Space Cowboy Mancub jumped three spots in his second appearence, moving from last year's number ten to number seven this year. The guru behind Opel and Opulent Temple, Syd Gris, finally broke through as his tireless efforts and seemingly effortless beats earned him the sixth position. The fifth and fourth spots belong to Miguel Migs and Mark Farina, respectively, a testiment to their talent as each is fixture in this annual poll. Another house mastermind is getting some well-deserved love as the soulful David Harness jumps all the way to number three. In a major development, a newcomer to the top ten shot all the way to number two, as the crowds that have seen Taj rule the roost at 1015 turned out in support of their hero. The top spot goes to the man whose familar style always rocks the crowd, Lorin, better known to many as Bassnectar. The entire top 30 is listed below, and thanks to everyone who voted, and stay tuned for details on the upcoming DJDreamteam party! (SG)
