DJ Mag Top 100 poll results leaked

This one's been going around the internet forums lately: if you go to DJ Mag's web site and search the names of DJ's, you'll find their position listed on 2010's Top 100 poll. The official results won't be announced until Wednesday the 27th, but it looks as if the magazine is doing some early preparation to prepare their site for the unveiling.

Here's a search I did for "David Guetta", and the following popped up (click to enlarge):

Although the DJ Mag Top 100 poll is essentially a popularity contest, it does have an impact on the bookings side of the dance music industry, as names on this list will be easier sells to promoters around the world.

Final ASOT 450 show in Poland postponed

The fifth and final installment of A State of Trance 450, which was scheduled to begin now in Wrocraw, Poland, has been postponed in respect to a horrific plane crash this morning that left the country's president and 95 others dead.

Beatsmedia is reporting that the show is going to be rescheduled for April 24, but with a different lineup.

Although there has been no official announcement on whether or not the aforementioned changes are true, I can see them being valid. With the schedule that most DJ's tour with, which requires them to be in several countries across the world on any given week, it would be difficult to have the same group of artists in Poland on a future date.

The show will still be broadcasted in audio and video formats on A State of Trance's web site.
