DJ Magazine Top 50 party

It was the most talked about DJ competition in the Middle East, and we're now hosting what's sure to be the most talked about DJ event of recent time as five of the Top 10 DJs are playing our DJ Magazine Party at 360 on Thursday March 11. Headlined by winner Amin Golestan, the running order will be in line with their final chart positions: so Smokingroove opens, followed by the tech house grooves of Raxon, MrMr's chunky deep house and then Charl Chaka's infectious brand of jackin' house. Sadly, radio commitments meant that this year's Number 9, Greg Stainer, couldn't take part in the night. Asked whether they were nervous about sharing the stage with Dubai's leading deck-heads, all were unanimous with Smokingroove summing it up best: 'Never nervous, always excited to jam!'Amin Golestan, Number 1Killer track: Marco G & Amin Golestan - DagobertCharl Chaka, Number 4How do you feel playing alongside the city's best DJ talent - nervous, excited? Very excited, its not every night in Dubai that you get the chance to just have some fun behind the decks with the DJ crew.Mr Mr, Number 5How do you feel playing alongside the city's best DJ talent - nervous, excited? It’s very exciting, I’m sure it’ll be a lot of fun, and with 360º being my second home it will feel like I’ve got my best DJ mates over for a party – and everyone's invited. Raxon, Number 7 Where were you when you found out? I was in my car on Sheikh Zayed road actually, and I just got an email on my blackberry from DJ Mag, so I checked it out immediately. It took ages to load the page but I was very happy to find out that i was in the Top 10 that I almost crashed my car (laughs). Not so funny at the time though. Smokingroove, Number 10 Killer track: The Green Keepers' 'New York Is Red Hot' - proper Chicago funk! Running time: Smokingroove 9-10Raxon 10-11Mr Mr 11-12Charl Chaka 12-1Amin Golestan 1-2Win!
