  • DJ Mag 2012 - the good and bad


    It is that time of the year when emails and social media posts start with "it’s that time of the year"...
    DJ MAG Top 100 DJ Voting has launched yet again, giving a reason for artists to show activity as never before on social media.

    There have been many speculations of the poll being fake, others claim it has been named wrong with which I completely agree. It is a fact that DJ MAG Top 100 poll is purely based on popularity and there is a very fine line between voting for DJ skills or productions. We all hate the spam, but the ugly truth is that it is very important for all these artists around. Some promoters are still basing their bookings on the poll, which is the key of YOUR favorite artist's success.

    Although we might not like the fuzz and spam about the voting, it is one of the few chances of you being able to see them performing in your city.

    So take a moment, put your personal feelings behind and throw a vote for the ones you like, give them a chance to perform in your country, give them a chance to be seen by someone new.

      Sean Tyas is my number 1 this year. I got to see Miss Nine live a couple times and she's awesome so I have her number 2. This will be the first year not voting for Gareth Emery. I think he's lost a lot of his magic and appeal from both a DJ live set PoV and production PoV.

      I Agree, tho I have facebook I don't want to connect my 'personal' information to any other (voting) website, just because it's the only option. I do understand it's a relative 'simple' way for them to make sure the votes are somewhat unique, altough last year prooved this methid ain't airtight either.

      Yeah that's the thing. It's meant to be simple and full-proof but as you say, it's anything but. There's secure ways of using apps ect. on Twitter so why can't they expand to things like that? I know we don't all have Facebook or Twitter, but the majority have us have one of them!

      Voting for Paris Hilton will only not give a chance to ur fav artists to come to ur place, so its ur choice if ure willing to do that sacrifice in the sake of playing cool voting for her
