DJMag.com Releases Next 50 Ranked DJ's: Paul Oakenfold, Flume, Bassnectar and, Uh, Swedish House Mafia Get Some Credit

Did you read DJMag.com's Top 100 DJs list last week and find yourself irritable? Of course you did...that's the inevitable effect of the ranking. If you didn't find one of your favorite performers in the first 100, hopefully they'll show up in the next 50 spots, which the website released October 26 (via Dancing Astronaut).

Some notable names: Swedish House Mafia came in at no. 103, despite no longer existing. All three members of the group—Axwell, Sebastian Ingrosso and Steve Angello—were all individually ranked within the first 100, although the pairing of Axwell / Ingrosso didn't make the Top 150. We weren't surprised to not see Disclosure in the first group of names but were even more surprised to see them at no. 114. Our first guess was that the duo was considered too, who knows, "alt" to register as an EDM act. If they count for these rankings, they have to be higher considering their influence within music as a whole. Paul Oakenfold may or may not still belong in the Top 100 but we feel the iconic trance DJ is probably worth more than Boy George (no. 87) to EDM. Bassnectar at no. 150 seems odd considering the still-massive shows he does at venues like Madison Square Garden.

Some names we didn't see at all (still) that got us all hot and bothered: A-Trak, the turntable whiz and production giant behind Fool's Gold, not to mention Gessafelstein, the French techno producer who's caught many an eye for his work with Kanye West and A$AP Rocky.
