“It’s that time of the year again.” DJs and Producers worldwide have survived another year of your silent enjoyment and critique. Delivering mixes and productions to the best of their ability, spending countless hours in airplanes, drinking vast amounts of coffee in order to postpone the eminent jetlags and sharing all their ups and downs with you through Twitter and Facebook; they are now humbly at your mercy.
The time to raise your voice and make a difference in their lives has come again. Voting has begun: DJ Mag is waiting for you to determine the most influential Top 100 DJ ranking there is.
If you have enjoyed my contribution to Trance in 2009, please support me in the DJ Mag Top 100 poll. This is your chance to help the genre and artists you love, so don’t miss it!
Visit www.djmag.com to cast your vote now. The poll closes September 23rd.
Love,
Menno =)

Other than that, there is a very exciting announcement in this podcast, I’ll let your ears do the rest!
Much love, Menno

Recently Menno had the pleasure of being interviewed by the mother ship of all Trance sites: Trance.nu. DJ Mag’s very own Tim Stark fired a series of rather interesting questions at Menno to get an idea of what he is like ‘behind the scenes’. You’re catching our drift indeed, this is not the usual interview and probably a good laugh to read! Here are a couple of teaser questions from the interview:
“Wakarimasu! What languages do you speak Mr De Jong?
Dutch, English, German and a bit of Spanish. Twee beers bitte, pronto!
Obviously being a Dutchy I know Dutch – most of us here know English too, but I picked it up in International schools as we lived abroad for a while, when I was a kid, and thus grew up bilingual. I learned how to speak German when we lived in Berlin for 4 years. The bit of Spanish I know I learned in High School and University.”
“What is the best bit of non-musical gadgetry you own?
I have this implement that you can use to scratch your own back. Doesn’t it feel great to finally reach that spot right in the middle? Uhhhhh, Urrrgh, ahhhhhhhh!”
To read the full article go to www.trance.nu
Ladies and gentleman. The polls are in! I’m incredibly happy to announce that this year not only is trance highly present in the list, but I have managed to jump a massive 14 places to number 48 in the list! Thank you so much for the support, needless to say – this couldn’t have been done without you!
Love, Menno
