Yeah agreed, voting in the Top 100 is like going through the motions without seeing any effect. Not gonna bother.

Re: so,are you voting for djmag top 100 ?!

its just a vote - the same pattern of results would happen if you asked people to vote for best band - all the american idol types would be near the top and the radioheads and modest mouse types would be nowhere close.

vote by buying the cds and going to the gigs of the djs you like.

Re: so,are you voting for djmag top 100 ?!

I'll still vote. Every bit helps to get Sasha or Digweed closer to the top.

It's a popularity contest....Think about it..The reason we like what we like is because it's underground, or not so mainstream...The reason the trance dj's are up in the top slots is because the mainstream/majority are voting for them...Think about it, do we really want our favorite dj's winning top slot, thus becoming mainstream?? I don't.....Maybe my head is up my ass on this one, but it makes sense to me..Also, at the end of the day, these polls mean nothing to me...

That is so true. But I have a feeling that a minimal dj might win this yr. Trance recently has went to the far side of things. Even the old trance djs mix put minimal into there sets. I would like sasha or digweed to win the #1 spot again but in a way I don't want them to win either. I say just get rid of the whole top 100 in general. Lets start judging djs on the basics again.

Re: so,are you voting for djmag top 100 ?!

i usually vote just to kill time when i should be working

[alexfish333]

Re: so,are you voting for djmag top 100 ?!

everyone should vote
it's wack that the people in this forum who know what they're talking about are apathetic about it and all the e-tards and k-heads (around the world) go pass around a laptop to get people voting and ...alas-retarded people win

[Troklo]

Re: so,are you voting for djmag top 100 ?!

I'll vote . I hope a minimal dj takes it this year specialy Hawtin he's my #1 dj.

[|Thrax|]

Re: so,are you voting for djmag top 100 ?!

i vote for the dj's that owned me that particular year.. thats why its a yearly poll..

if everyone votes for their OMFG#1DJ then we get 999999 votes for fucking tiestocicles

my top 5 went:

hernan
martin garcia
satoshi
sasha
diggers

since its a 5 point system

i highly doubt that a "minimal" DJ would take first place. the big trance & house guys who have been around for years are still the "pop-stars" of the EDM world and they're the ones who are going to get the most votes (well, them plus whoever sends out the most spam and rallies up their fans to vote). even if they play "minimal" tracks, that doesn't say much. all they're doing is incorporating the newest trendy sub-genre hits into their sets.

granted i don't listen to much minimal, or whatever is being considered minimal these days (hence the quotes in my first paragraph).. but i honestly can't think of any DJs in that genre who are mainstream enough to garner enough votes to even break into the top 10. i always associate that specific genre of music with being a bit more elitist and underground, even taking into account its recent trendiness surge in the EDM scene in general.

Re: so,are you voting for djmag top 100 ?!

Now that Dj's have links from their websites the ones with high hit rates probably generate tons of votes - unfortunately that tends to be in the trance arena. Also votes get dispersed amongst many other DJ's. I'd prefer to vote for underestimated DJ's such as Garcia, however he's unlikely to get many votes. It'd be nice for Hernan to get the recognition he deserves for being such a nice guy and one of the most reliable for turning up on time. His radio shows and Renaissance CD's have been of a consistent high quality.
