Top Ten Producers
In lieu of DJ Mag releasing their top 100 DJ's for 2013 (http://www.djmag.com/top100?year=2013), I decided I would do my own personal top 10 "DJ's". Now these aren't based on top hits or concert sales etc, these are just my 10 favorite producers.
10. David Latour- This guy is on here because he produced my all time favorite EDM track to date (Venus vs Mars). I actually don't know much of his other stuff but upon further research, it's awesome. Everyone has their own "happy song" and Venus vs Mars just happens to mine
9. Cash Cash- These guys have picked up a lot of steam in my book recently. Their song "Take Me Home" has been on repeat for seemingly days since I first heard it, same goes for their new song "Overtime".
8. Porter Robinson- 'Language' is one of the best sounding songs I have heard in the past two-three years. He doesn't have a lot of stuff released but what is released is of incredibly quality.
7. Daft Punk- These guys are legends. The French duo took a break from music and came back better than ever with their new album this summer. 'Get Lucky' is one of the coolest songs of all time plus Niles Rodgers plays the guitar on the track
6. Madeon- He is awesome. He only has a few songs out there but they are so catchy and lively. He has done remixes with Deadmau5 and a slew of others too. 'The City' is actually my top most played on my iTunes!
5. Matisse & Sadko- This Russian duo is brand new but everything I have heard them put out is gold to my ears. They have a hit single as well as two remixes that are just plain insane. I am expecting bigger things to come from these guys.
4. Zedd- He is becoming huge REALLY, REALLY fast. I keep hearing a few of his songs on the radio and people flock to see him perform. Lady Gaga even had him produce her newest album. My favorite song, however, isn't one of the more popular ones you will hear on the radio.
3. Krewella- This is a group of one guy and two sisters from the US. The sisters voices in their songs are MASSIVE, they have huge voices and it makes for some incredibly epic songs. They are also picking up some radio airplay too.
2. Calvin Harris- This guy right here, is simply one of the best. I can safely say that I have never hated anything he has produced or collaborated with someone to produce. He has one of the more unique sounding voices that is used in his tracks. He does collaborations with Florence Welch, Ellie Goulding and Example to name a few.
1. Deadmau5- He was the producer on the first EDM song I ever heard. He is one of the more outspoken producers of the EDM community and he usually catches a lot of flak for that but his fans love him for it, including myself. His tracks range from dubstep (raise your weapon) to very deep, cerebral sounding tracks (the Veldt and Strobe). He does collaborations with the likes of Imogen Heap, Gerrard Way (lead singer of My Chemical Romance). Of course everyone knows his biggest song 'Ghosts n Stuff' but it is not even close to my favorite track of his.
There was a few producers who just finished outside my personal top ten: Audien, Swedish House Mafia, Eric Prydz, Nicky Romero, Sander van Doorn, Syn Cole, Tom Staar and Basto.
It has been a couple weeks since I posted a top ten so I hope you all enjoyed this. Maybe, just maybe I turned you guys on to some new tunes for the Halloween party weekend!

Throwback Thursday #2/First top 10 list
For this weeks TBT, I decided instead of doing a personal throwback I would do a throwback that everyone could love and talk about. Get your nostalgia ready guys.....
.jpg)
Yes, that is right. This is going to be a throwback to all the 90's Nick shows we all adored and loved. This is also the start of my new top 10 series where I give my top 10 favorite of any given subject. Without further ado, here is the list/TBT!
10. All That- Its sketch comedy for kids. Our own version of SNL and they nailed it every time
9. Clarissa Explains It All- She broke the 4th wall by talking directly into the camera as if she was talking to us, that was cool by itself
8. Are You Afraid of the Dark?- This show genuinely scared me as a kid. It was tough to have to scare kids without making us cry into our Mommy's arms during the show, but they pulled it off perfectly
7. Angry Beavers- This show felt like the perfect showcase of what having an older or younger sibling was like using some of Nick's famous off-beat comedy
6. Ren & Stimpy- This show right here was hands down one of the most disturbing shows I have ever seen in my entire life. Everything about the show just felt....nasty but I couldn't stop watching it.
5.The Wild Thornberrys- This was the first show that I ever watched that made it seem really cool to travel the world and see different things. Also, who doesn't love Nigel?! BLARRRGHHHHHHHHHH
4. Rocket Power- This show was only on for three years but it was easily one of my favorites. It showed off how a single parent (Raymundo) handled his two young kids who went out and did outrageous extreme sports stunts. Twister was easily my favorite character and showed the rest of the world what a "bro" should be like.
3.Hey Arnold!- Arnold was bar none my favorite cartoon character from the Nickelodeon TV shows, he is just so damn likable. They environment he was surrounded in and his friends made for some awesome episodes (Stoop kid anyone?!). Plus, find me a kid that didn't want to have Arnold's room growing up, I dare you.
2. Rugrats- This show ran for an amazing 13 years and had two movies come out. Everything about this show is perfection. The characters and how they developed over time felt natural and organic. The two episodes that I remember to this day is the sky is falling episode and the episode where they shrink themselves to go inside Angelica because she swallowed a watermelon seed.
DRUM ROLL
Number One goes to.............................
1. Legends of the Hidden Temple: I know this isn't a cartoon or regular show but this show is sensational. It is the one game show I begged to be on as a kid and I still wish to this day that I could be on it. The show had everything, from physically climbing the Shrine of the Silver Monkey to having knowledge and listening skills to even having an element of chance when the temple guards who pop out of nowhere to slow you down. I also thought Olmec was awesome and wanted to sit down and talk to him.
Being a kid in the 90's was pretty awesome to say the least but what about Disney? Someone thought of that http://mashable.com/2013/07/30/nickelodeon-vs-disney/
I hope you all had fun reading this, I surely had fun writing it!
