The San Francisco scene mag Nitevibe recently released their annual reader’s poll of The City’s top DJs, and it’s a pretty interesting glimpse into the tastes of mainstream San Francisco clubbing. Breaks and house dominate the list, with a few trance DJs thrown in for variety. Even more interesting, in a city known for being a gay mecca, only one DJ in the entire list, David Harness, is associated with a gay night (Fag Fridays). Looking over the full list of top 100 DJs, there’s a lot left out, genre-wise; no ambient, downtempo, techno, hip-hop, dancehall, or even psy-trance DJs, though the city has DJs for those genres in abundance. All of the guys (and DJing still seems to be largely a man’s game here) in the Top 10 are worth going out to hear, but the sound of the San Francisco scene is much more diverse than this list might lead you to believe.
