America's Best DJ 2008 Summer Tour

04/22/2008
. (PR) As it celebrates 20 years of chronicling United States DJ Culture, DJ Times magazine kicked off its 2008 America�s Best DJ contest on March 25th at Miami�s Winter Music Conference by announcing this year�s top 100 nominees.

Now entering its third year, America�s Best DJ (ABDJ) stands to solidify itself as the pre-eminent DJ & nightlife culture-branding event in the nation. Inaugurated in 2006, this exciting prize-packed promotion supports the growth of US DJ & nightlife culture by encouraging dance-music fans to get involved and promote their favorite US-based DJs in a quest to crown the America�s top jock. Previous ABDJ winners include New York club king Jonathan Peters (2006) and Miami trance master George Acosta (2007).

Over the past two summers, participating fans chose from a panel of America�s Top 100 DJs (nominated by the staff of DJ Times), casting votes both online at www.americasbestdj.net and in-person at 40 tour stops featuring showcased nominees at some of America�s top club venues like Pacha (New York), Ruby Skye (San Francisco), Crobar (Chicago), Space (Miami), Krave (Las Vegas), and Vanguard (Los Angeles).

�We believe that America�s Best DJ�the contest and the tour�will continue to bring visibility for DJ culture and strengthen its lasting foundation in the US,� says DJ Times Editor, Jim Tremayne.
