Dear DJ:
Who are your favorite DJs? Who are you voting for in the DJ Mag list survey?

Dear Curious,
I get these questions often, and as a journalist I strive to maintain some sense of neutrality when it comes to competitions. Coming up with a list of my favorite DJs to vote for is always a challenge and actually something that I take kind of seriously.
Dear DJ Ron,
This is a strange question but I don’t know who else to ask. I spin around town a lot and have built a reputation for being dressed to impress. I often spin in some wild outfits with everything from big patterns to wild colors – and this gets me noticed and definitely leaves an impression. The question is – how can I get my gear to match? I’ve tried getting funky slipmats for when I spin vinyl, but the records cover them up. The turntable and mixer themselves look so basic and don’t really go with my schtick. Any ideas?
Signed,
Flashy and fierce
