DJ Mag Top 100 Voting Now Open!

The DJ Mag Top 100 DJsThe DJ Mag Top 100 DJs list is now being compiled and voting is underway. As usual Im sure there will be contoversy over those DJs that make it and those that don’t. I’m sure there will be loads of unknown DJs and also entries in the chart that will make you go “WTF?”

So, in a shameless plug to try and get my laughable face on that wall of fame, I’d like to ask you to vote for me in the Top 100 list. You don’t have to have me as your first choice, but somewhere on the list I will love you forever if you could type into that small white box the words “Paul Velocity”.

Vote for me now

V-Moda Headphones

V Moda HeadphonesDeveloped over the span of four years in collaboration with some of the world’s top musicians, DJs and producers, the Crossfade LP delivers epic sound with a distinct design composed of luxurious fabrics and lightweight metals. Designed to be the ultimate versatile and multi-purpose headphone, Crossfade LP is made for people on the move, at the gym or on the stage.
