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)
