Who Wants To Be An EDM Superstar?!
Rememember Ruben Studdard? Yeah, neither do we. Like most winners of reality music competitions, the American Idol champ never achieved the level of fame the TV show promised, and now the EDM world may have their own such “star.” It appears that Doron Ofir Productions (the geniuses that created The Jersey Shore) are behind EDMCasting.com, which launched today and is asking for aspiring producers to apply to be considered for a new “Electronic Dance Music reality/competition show.” Only those who want to be the next “star DJ” need apply, but established EDM producers had an immediate and negative reaction to the show.
Resident sourpuss and frequent Tweeter deadmau5 responded angrily soon after news broke, writing on Twitter:
YAYAYAYYYYYY!!! I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR NEW TV MADE EDM SUPERSTARS!! thanks edmcasting.com, eat a dick.

Nicky Romero had a shorter but just as unbelieving reaction, tweeting today:
Lol are you serious? edmcasting.com

Oh and, if you are game try to be the next “dance music star,” you have to be at least 18, so everyone else may just have to wait to make it big the old fashioned way — through hard work, quality music, and patience.

About DJZ 10
The DJZ/10 is a collection of ten DJs that we think you should know about now. Some of them are already familiar to you, others you may have never heard of. The list is not based on (1) a secret computer algorithm, (2) social media popularity, or (3) payola. Every month or so we get together to decide if somebody from the broader A…Z directory is about to break out and should be included in the DJZ/10, or if somebody already on the list, for that matter, is “phoning it in” and deserved to be replaced by another DJ who is more worthy.
