Your worst nightmare (Top100)

Re: Your worst nightmare (Top100)

I actually have no problem with Guetta being no.1 ... he runs a club night, has DJ'd for ages and makes his own music. The poll has long since stopped being about the best DJ.

It's the randoms in there that I've never heard of that I can't get to grips with : surely the DJ Mag team will struggle to get a credible/readable issue out of this for the people who actually buy the magazine !

pretty sure Joachim Garraud does a lot of his stuff for him

Ouch I feel bad for Guetta. He got boo'd when he went to receive his award. I'm not a fan and don't agree that he should be #1, but there's no need to boo the man.

Guetta was in South Africa last week and had sell out shows - he definately caters for a younger generation - do I really care? Naaaaa!! Why?? Because - Hernan gives me quality music every week on his radio show - so that makes him my No. 1

Well, David Guetta has almost 25 milion likes on facebook, the same amount as Black Eyed Peas.

That's says it all, he's just popstar, no dj. He must have won by a big margin if he promoted voting on his fb enough.

Haighly unlikely! but very scarely all the same. the top 5 arent that unprobable.

Re: Your worst nightmare (Top100)

Why are people surprised at this? It's the DJ Mag for heavens sake, pretty sure the average readers age is sixteen and a half.

^ Exactly. If you're 16 and a trance head (ie the majority of the people who give a shit about the poll), nothing could be more boring than John Digweed

I think Sasha and Digweed did well to get in there above Eddie Halliwell and Judge Jules, all things considered

Re: Your worst nightmare (Top100)

I think a lot of us get in a state about it because we are old enough to remember when it had some relevance back in the late 90's when Oakey won it, and then when Sasha won it for the first time etc. Back then all of our favourite dj's were in there somewhere.

I agree with Simon though - some of the random names on there amaze me. I like to think I keep track of edm culture etc, so I'm surprised when I see names like Skrillex or aviici??

When we were younger in other words? Maybe it's as relevant to the people who vote now as it was to people who voted in the 90s?

ThereŽs like 5 people in that list, that IŽd actually pay money to see.

This is a pop music contest, the fact that "dance music" is still seen as some sort of forward-thinking music form keeps amusing me.
