A big congrats goes out to Kaskade who was voted America's Best DJ for 2011 by DJ Times Magazine and Pioneer DJ. The DJ and producer has spent the summer traveling across the States with IDentity festival (you can read about his adventures touring with the electronic music showcase on Spinner), so when the party hits its next tour stop on Saturday, Sept. 11, you know celebrations are going to be in full swing.

"I am really proud to be named America's Best DJ," said Kaskade. "When I look at the Top 100 list, there are so many talented people on there, people that I have looked up to for years. So, to be awarded this title amongst such an awesome group is a great feeling. I really want to thank all my fans for voting and their continued support."

Kaskade takes the crown from last year's winner DJ QBert, beating out a long list of nominees in 2011, including A-Trak, IDentity tourmate Steve Aoki, Diplo and 'Jersey Shore' star DJ Pauly D (whose nomination was hotly contested in the DJ community, surprise, surprise). The Los Angeles-based DJ will be honored Oct. 9 in Las Vegas at a soiree that caps of the ABDJ contest, which has seen fans vote online and at in-person at events throughout the summer.

Way to go Kaskade!
