Most of the attention has been on the DJ Mag Top 100 as of late, but before we immerse ourselves in the results of that poll, it\’s time we turn our attention to one that just announced its top 10 winners. Brought to us by Pioneer DJ and DJ Times is the \”America\’s Best DJ\” poll that focuses on the best talent housed in the US. Individuals were not only able to vote online, but also in person at festivals like EDC Las Vegas and our very own Spring Awakening Music Festival, both which took place earlier this summer.
And for the second time in three years, Markus Schulz has claimed the title, the first time being in 2012. Having reclaimed the honor from Kaskade, last year\’s winner, we can look forward to the award ceremony that will happen on October 12th in Las Vegas.
“Receiving this news is such an incredible honor. I have never been in this industry for the sole purpose of winning awards, and my biggest accomplishment in life is having the ability to connect and entertain those who believe in me and what I do on a daily basis. I’d like to thank everyone at DJ Times and Pioneer DJ for their continued support, all of the promoters who facilitate my passion in the clubs and festivals throughout North America, those who sacrifice in helping me achieve my dreams, and most of all, the fans, because without you, none of this is possible. Forever grateful for your love and support, and I look forward on our continued journey into the future,” said the Miami-based DJ.
