What is DJ?
* Disc jockey (also called disk jockey, DJ, or deejay) is an individual who selects and plays prerecorded music for an intended audience. The term was first used to describe radio announcers who would introduce and play popular gramophone records, but today there are a number of factors, including the selected music, the intended audience, the performance setting, the preferred medium, and the development of sound manipulation, that have led to different types of deejays. (via Wikipedia.org)
Mixmag is one of the world’s biggest and most respected dance music and clubbing magazines.
They organize "The Greatest Dance Act Of All Time" poll, (as they said) the largest poll in the history of dance music. ;)
At the poll's page (Facebook) you can decide the winner of the most prestigious title that Mixmag has ever awarded.
Mixmag staff selected 100 bands, beatmakers and producers/performers who they think have a shot at being named "The Greatest Dance Act Of All Time".
You can click on each artist for more info, and then vote for your favorite.
If the act that changed your life isn’t there - you can email your personal nomination to Mixmag staff, and state your case.
If they think you’ve got a point, they’ll add your act to the 'public nominations' at the foot of the page.
Then it’s up to dance music fans to decide.
You only have a one vote, so choose wisely!
Voting closes midnight on December 23, 2011.
I use Twitter (@AlexForce) regularly.
Usually share stuff related to electronic dance music, photography, sports, my thoughts on living, etc.
Talking about Electronic Dance Music (EDM), mostly I tweet about cool fresh tracks (dancefloor bombs, usually House Music songs), some interesting articles and links within the genre...
Since lately I started to group my tweets related to the favorite electronic tracks in articles (Summer 2011 Top House Music Hits + Autumn 2011 House Music Songs), I also decided to compose posts consisted of (my) interesting EDM (and music in general) related tweets (articles, links, etc).
I think that my blog readers will benefit from this kind of posts.
