I really am totally miffed by this DJ Mag Poll

[MARKEG]

Yet again, my inbox is spammed from DJ's asking me to vote for them.

I just don't get it. Why is it so important? It really doesn't represent fresh good music. Just why are ppl taking this so serious?

Don't get me wrong, I have done articles for DJ in the past, i like the mag... but this is just plain silly. I can see what a position in this poll would do for you as a DJ, but why be hyped like this?

Sorry to bring this up again. I think I did it last year too :) hehe

But WTF eh :lol:

[force]

I think 'EGO' might have something to do with it mark :myagi:

[ds2]

techno djs are the worst culprits.

"a vote for me is a vote for techno" :roll:

no it's not, it's a vote for you and your ego. who seriously gives a f()ck if techno djs are in some fake chart in a crappy, past it's sell by date dance rag.

:

I don't think 95% of DJ's represent "fresh" or "good" music. And i fail to see how a promotional e-mail turns a purveyor of something deemed credible & unique into someone who's not.

Secondly, I think you answer lies within your own question> "I can see what a position in this poll would do for you as a DJ"

I think it's pretty safe to assume that the majority of DJ's (and even people in general) are driven by fame/money. And with that in mind it's pretty clear why people are so desperate to appear in your "Top 100 DJ's" etc

I really am totally miffed by this DJ Mag Poll

I don't understand why you're getting miffed about it, always has been a crock of shite, always will be....

[eyeswithoutaface]

yeah, doesnt even warrant a thread to be honest. Total bag of toss

[dan the acid man]

so nobodies going to vote for rudi schmulten then ? :( :lol:

[conflict]

MC BUFFALO?

[sash]

I'm sure we all know people that look at those lists and say "ooh Tiesto is number one. so he's the best dj eh.....". I fkn hate that. It's like Fatboy slim, the last few years he's always floating around the top there somewhere. he was here for NYE and the majority of people r all hyped thinkin "ooh Fatboy's comin, he's one of the best dj's in the world" and then he sucked ass and everyone was like "what the fukk was that shit"...

[eyeswithoutaface]

well i think anyone naive enough to actually think Fatboy Slim is a good dj deserves a bit of a let down really.

i wish someone would delete this thread, its depressing

[Lag]

i like fatboy slim as a dj
whats wrong about him?
theres artists and entertainers
fatboy slim is an entertainer
and hes doing a very good job

[eyeswithoutaface]

no one said he wasnt an entertainer did they? i said he's not a good dj, which he isnt. At all. Full stop.

he is a fantastic producer and his track record speaks for itself

but he's an awful dj

[jeroenliebregts]

although he has a different opinion about that himself.
That's why he is such a good 'entertainer'

djs take themself a bit too seriuos today. if you can't entertain the crowd, move away and give space to somebody who can, simple as that.

[jeroenliebregts]

if the music is good, the crowd will be entertained.

[koma]

if the dj is crap, he'll ruin the night even with the best records...

[Lag]

no one said he wasnt an entertainer did they? i said he's not a good dj, which he isnt. At all. Full stop.

he is a fantastic producer and his track record speaks for itself

but he's an awful dj
imo theres 2 kind of djs
1. a dj who makes with his track selection a whole new track. a hour/two hours/whatever long track. the songs are connected very tightly and create a good buildup. i consider this art
2. a dj who plays tracks the crowd likes. he doesnt build up song "feels" but rather he builds up... i dont know how to explain this.. he adds to the happy happy joy joy atmosphere with every next track. it doesnt matter if he plays tim deluxe or red hot chilli peppers.
fatboy played janis joplin when he play @ the exit festival. the crowd went wild.
i consider this entertainment. fatboy is a good entertainer. maybe as good as tiga :)

[koma]

and i dont understand what's the fuss with this dj mag poll every year.

like in every genre, there's a part of the scene that's more exposed in the media... if you want to be a part of it, fine with me.. if you think it'll benefit you, help you to bring some of your ideas to life, go ahead...

but, if you'd like to talk about "underground" in the year 2006., hide from the media etc... go ahead.. just dont cry when nobody notices you among dozens of thousand djs/producers at the end of the day...

i was debating with some people the other day.. all they do is moan about the way newspapers and tv's are covering the techno scene only through drug arrests and incidents. i mean, shit, why dont you try and show them some positive sides of everything, speak up, what, everyone who uses media is a sellout, is that what youre all afraid of? cause thats bullshit, sorry...

errr yeah, we've just agreed that, he's a good entertainer. He still isnt technically a great dj, ive seen him play many many times and technically, he's all over the place at the best of times.

He's a great entertainer of course, but he was a great entertainer before he stood behind a pair of decks, so it makes no odds. He got into djing through the success of his records, id must rather see a Fatboy slim live set than see him djing. Lovely chap, met him once or twice too in various places but still doesnt mean i think he's a good dj, there are people on this board who would technically nail him to the floor. I love some of the stuff he plays, but it's nothing i dont listen to at home anyway so its quite irrelevant to me. Id rather just listen to his records than him playing other peoples records.

and re this poll thing, well to put it simply, it would have a bit more clout to the proceedings if it were something that held a bit more respect through the scene, i.e top 100 producers poll instead maybe? i would still not be the remotely bit interested in the poll itself, but it would certainly bring more positivity about polls in general i think.

[ds2]

[ Lovely chap, met him once or twice too in various places .

there's a shock :lol:

[eyeswithoutaface]

not really, just happened to have met him in various clubs/events over the years

[Lag]

as an entertainer dj
i think it is not as important if hes technically good
as it is important that the crowd is entertained
in any way


id must rather see a Fatboy slim live set than see him djing.
i agree about that. his albums are one of the things that got me into edm


Id rather just listen to his records than him playing other peoples records.

again, i agree
but i just said hes a good dj, and he does his job well
i didnt say his djing is better than his production :)

sorry mate - for me it's bullsh*t. i never care bout what the dj does, it makes me laugh when they shout with the public; i am not watching them for "entertainment"; only music that counts.
i used to like watching millsey - 100% focused on what he's doing, concentrated... i dunno if it's the same these days.

the only thing i hate - when dj's look like they were serving some punishment or behaving VIP style . when i saw ian pooley 6 years ago, he looked like he hated all people he was playing for. tired maybe..

[essence]

and i think that fatboy's music is pop for teenagers.

[Miromiric]

to much entertainers, not rnought artists.

[Little_Fella!]

Back in 2001, I was into squat parties heavily at the time, but was given a couple o guest list tickets to the DJ Mag DJ Winners Poll party at Fabric.... :eyes:

So we went along for the fun of it...

Chris Liberator was No. 70 at the time, we were like, 'Yeey...! nice one etc..blah blah'...

Tiesto was No. 1 but i had snuffled a big truffle at that point so didn't give a hoot n was looking forward to the music coming back on, (which was moderately tough so I was happy) :)

Went to the afterparty, which was at the bar I was workin at- Steve Lawler played.... all v nice etc..
:)

[Little_Fella!]

Then even went back to Leslie's house (the editor), who didn't like techno at all by the way and was very dismissive in that respect...

Any way I ignored this, and then she got all grumpy n shot nearly every one out... :eh:

Fair do's I suppose but still, no need to screech & go on as no one was being out of order...

I was glad to get home to mi decks I tell thee...! :crackup:

[Little_Fella!]

Anyways...

The whole thing is a commercial entity that serves itself, as we all know....

I agree with Koma, and would like to add that as it is the shape of the 'commercial' overground that determines the credibility and definition by what should truly be labelled as the 'non commercial' underground.....

You can't have an underground scene if there is nothing above it... :)

[rhythmtech]

top 100 producers poll instead maybe?

bloody good idea.. although ****in tiga or some bollox would still win :lol:

[dirty_bass]

I just bin all that spam straight away, doesn`t really bother me at all, I don`t really read any of the mags anyway, so it means nothing to me who`s at the top. I`ll still listen to what I listen to, and moan like an old man now and again.

I was actually reffering to those guys who dont give a **** about the audience, cause "they're are doing they thing and the crowd is probably uneducated". I've seen that shit few times this summer, the crowd was standing still on the floor, yawning, talking... and the guy behind the decks was "doing his thing", LOL... some of them didnt play bad records, on the contrary, but the timing was totally wrong...

maybe they prepared their sets before the party, dunno about that, but I do know they sucked big time :cheese:

I love those djs that come early on a party and hang out with other djs, dance among the crowd, enjoy themself, now they can say they're feeling the atmosphere right and I'm sure they'll rarely go wrong when they come behind the decks... if you're having 2-3 gigs per night and you're running from spot to spot, I'm not sure all those sets will be top notch...

and when it comes to art... the only art in 4/4 dance music is making people dance :cheese:

[Miromiric]

i ****in.g hate dance music

[Sunil]

Characteristics of the stereotypical DJ who chases after getting into these polls:

A. A poser/ Secretly a wannabe pop/movie/TV star
B. Bad DJ
C. Can't produce on a track on own. Needs co-producer, for when "in the studio".

Lets face it, half these shits would give up if they got a better paying job somewhere else, although obviously it would need be a position where their ego was suitably massaged on a regular basis. Let the ****ers at it.

I think a Top 100 Worst DJ poll would be good, especially if it caught on and people began to realise what a load of shit these polls are. If someone had the time on their hands to write up a foreword or mission statement that states all the traits to dislike about the average self important DJ of today, or the methods they use, it could serve as a good basis for a website. Probably all a bit too negative though, but still... it'd be nice to see some of these eejits that litter the Top 100 DJ poll, romping home to high positions in the official Worst DJ Top 100 poll. It would definitely put a lot of things into perspective.

Unfortunately this is true for most people - that is all they want from a night out - however to cater to this market is to simply attempt to please the masses - a slippery slope imo as to take it too its logical conclusion then as a promoter, DJ or producer you would simply provide for the lowest common denominator to entertain the maximum number of people which inevitably leads to the conclusion that what they should be providing is very middle of the road stuff that the majority will want to dance too and be entertained by while they drink themselves silly and try to get laid, rather than creating or providing challenging, interesting music.


For me music is an artform first and foremost above being a form of entertainment - thats why I like the techno scene, because this element is strong within it. If the aim is purely to entertain the maximum number of people then we may as well give up innovating now and resign ourselves to a world of funky house, r n b and commercial trance!

bit sad realy telling people to to vote for you init... I know many do it because they feel they need it to get one step higher in the bookings world and up there FEE ! but come on asking people to vote for you is a little poo init... i think maybe best way to run a poll if one is bloody needed is maybe a IN CLUB vote ...granted the same big names would be at the top due to the size crowds and sheep they play to...but to be fair some djs like carl cox should be at the top of the pile i feel. but at least with a in club vote by clubbers and djs it would be the opinion of the people that go out and see the djs peform ... that has to be better than some turd who has nver been out of there bedroom voting for some dj they havent ever seen!!!!!!


right im up for setting this up who's up for helping ? ha ha ha

this poll, and indeed most articles in this magazine is quite simply to supply a bit of padding between all the ads. if i had a million quid for each time somebody asked me to vote for them this week, we would all be going on a major binge next weekend.
