President of Slovenia Votes For Umek

In the world of endorsements, they don’t come much bigger than those from the president of a country. In a video released last Friday, Slovenian president Dr Danilo Türk casts his vote for his favorite top 5 DJs with Umek occupying his top slot. Gramatik, Valentino Kanzyani, Mike Vale and Jackie DJ filled out spots #2-5 respectively. Türk goes on to make the appeal below, looping in his support for PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity and Respect) in the process. Who are you going to vote for this year?

“Dear friends, we live in difficult times, where there is disagreement, we need harmony, instead of destruction, we want creativity, when we find confusion, we call for rhythm. Music is a universal language; it can bring us together in Peace, Love, Unity and Respect. Umek stands for all that and that is why I’m voting for him on this year’s DJ Mag Top 100 voting and so should you." -President of Slovenia, Dr. Danilo Türk
