Sorry but I disagree really strongly on this one. The only criterion should be the quality of the music. I'm pretty sure that would be John's only concern. If that is there it really doesn't matter how well known you are.

Although I do agree with you on the voting thing.

thing with this one is though di ( and i may be wrong on this ) but aint the DJ competition all about the music that's on structures ? i don't know about u but if it is and it were my album i wouldn't really wanna listen to what 1000? 2000 ? 3000 ? DJ mixes all with the same tunes in it before making a choice on who done the best mix... i would go for the ones with the most amount of votes and base my choice on those... if u could get a couple of thousand people to vote for u without them looking @ other mixes in the comp then that puts u in a better position to get a listen ( i.e. using ur already established fan base to vote for u )

^^ That's why I don't like the voting thing. It comes down to how committed the Dj running the contest is

thing that gets me is there could be far better mixes further down the scale with less votes that get over looked ... its not to say these people haven't put a lot of work into them, maybe just don't know how to push it to get people to vote for them... anyway, we'll see how this pans out

Yep! Once again why I don't like the voting thing

Darin deserves to be in the competition, he is a hard working dj and a class act. I would love to make it into the finals, I just need to move up 3 more spots. Cheers!

Congrats Darin is in first place right now by far, great job! I am confused how the voting works, not sure if they count top 20% of plays and favorites seperatly or if its a combo of both? I might need to move up 2 spots on the hot list to make the finals? Here is my mix http://www.mixcloud.com/RMasie/john-...s-competition/

There were plenty of well-known DJs and producers that entered in this contest: two from Anjunadeep, one from Global Underground, another from Audio Therapy that I counted. The fact that none of them reached the Top 20% only proves that people view DJing and producing as separate. Unfortunately, it looks like all their hard work in the studio didn't do too much for them in a DJing competition.

I whole-heartedly agree, but I believe the theory was that the cream will rise to the top and the rest will sink. Unlike the Sasha remix contest, each entry is 30 minutes long. If you multiply that by the 150 or so submissions they got, that would be several days worth of music to go through! Impossible for John and his team to sit through with their busy schedules.
