shadow at number 93? ... booooooo

DJ Mag really need to do something about thier voting system. 30000 new votes? How many of them were corrupt votes I wonder?? No way that John Fleming drops to #52 after the type of year he had last year! Not to mention some like James Zabiela dropping places as well?? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see a signle d'n'b DJ on the list at all??

Oh well, it's not like this poll had that much credibility before, now it's look as if it's completely gone out the window!

:S

:p

bullllllshit.

The fact the likes of John, Zabiela and others have dropped down the chart is bizzare. Some of those placings are absurd. Stick Danny Howells, Eric Morillo, Danny Tenaglia in a club anywhere, they'll pull double the amount of people Cattaneo would.

I'm not pointing the finger but it wouldnt be hard to rig the poll. You could theoretically setup a computer to boot up, log onto dj mag, vote a random vote including a certain dj, restart with a new IP address (especially easy with a 56k modem in a built up area) and vote again. Over the course of 2 months you could get about 15000 votes.

I can't believe Z-Trip didn't even crack the top 100... he could mix circles around the majority of those DJs...

decypher · #9 (**permalink**) Oct 30, 04

Well u got to think about who votes in these types of things, any idiot can vote, most dont have reasons for their vote.

I think he was disqualified based on having to much skill/talent.

Shadow is more popular than any punk on that list. Not in the electronic scene I guess though. Anyway...

exactly...
so EVERYONE knows tiesto... so they vote him...
for people who know quite a few dj's obviously wouldnt vote for him...
as for people like z-trip... not many people have heard of him... he isnt as famous as avb or corsten...
but those who have... love him

Sykonee · #20 (**permalink**) Oct 30, 04

Cheers at seeing Lawrence crack the top 10.

Jeers at seeing no mention of Tiga. WTF!!!??

Who the Hell is Hernan Cattaneo???????????????????

BrownThug · #21 (**permalink**) Oct 30, 04

good to see avb at the top still :DD::D:D:D

AGROculture · #22 (**permalink**) Oct 31, 04

Well whether you think the rankings are based on skill or popularity it's amazing to see Benni Benassi (18) so high on the rankings
Especially since last year he wasn't even on the top 100!

~god~ · #23 (**permalink**) Oct 31, 04
