Voting in DJ Mag’s annual Top 100 DJ poll has been closed and votes counted and verified. It’s only a matter of time now before the winner is unleashed at the Top 100 bash on Wednesday 28th October, held for the second year running at Ministry Of Sound.

It’s a poll that receives much speculation over who will scoop the top spot, and what the weight of winning the title is actually worth. The premier league of trance DJs (aka Armin van Buuren, Tiesto and Paul Van Dyk) have held the top spots for as long as we can remember, but there’s always some fascinating new entries, high climbers and surprises of those who fall out the poll altogether.

Whatever your view on the whole thang, it’s an event that DJs spend months campaigning for and the industry and clubbers alike getting excited about. Last year’s party was a complete road block, sweaty and crowded, but altogether a great shindig!

Poker PR staff were there with our client Agwa de Bolivia serving up ‘Bolivian Kisses’ in the VIP room, whilst also presenting the highest achieving DJs with gifts from M-audio in the form of their award winning MicroTrack II audio recorder.

Get there early when the Ministry doors open at 9pm and the door tax is£10 – higher than previous years, but more proceeds can go to DJMag’s chosen charity, the Royal Institute For The Deaf.

Who will be crowned the Top DJ of 2009? Get yourself to Ministry to find out.

We’ve just returned from BPM at the NEC in Birmingham – the biggest event in Europe dedicated to DJs, and so far we’ve only heard positive things about it.

The level of musical hardware in attendance was noticeably first class. Brands including Pioneer, Allen & Heath, Bose, and Poker client M-Audio were all there showcasing their latest products.

David Atkinson from M-audio sees BPM as a great tool for M-Audio:

If we want hands on, one-to-one time with DJs and producers there’s no better a place than the BPM at the NEC. It means we can demo products, talk to our customers and find out what they need.”

With an event entirely dedicated to the DJ, it was only right that a few DJs were thrown into the mix to demonstrate their skills. At one side of the arena you had James Zabiela giving the CDJ 2000s a serious work out, and at the other – the Silent Arena – hot Poker client Kramnik showcasing his new album mix, The K Song.

From a DJs point of view, Kramnik commented:

“BPM is one of the best opportunities to take a good temperature on the industry, and get a feel for what’s coming next. A definite must for anyone with BPMs in their blood…”

So positive feedback all round. Great work BPM. We look forward to attending next year.
