With the surge in popularity of the DJ in 2012, it is no wonder many DJ/producers have reached “rockstar” status not just in their countries of origin but globally. There are rankings like DJ Mag’s list, which ranks the top 100 DJs ever year, but now Rolling Stone has taken things even further. They have just released their list of “The top 25 DJs That Rule The Earth.” The list somewhat follows the path of DJ Mag’s, but there are some interesting deviations from that list as well.
