You don't wait for it to be handed to you on a silver platter--only going to see DJs with the most ridiculously gaudy font on the flyer. Get the fuck out there, go exploring, go digging, go surfing and searching. Music appreciation is an adventure, not a consumer commodity. Jesus christ, you have the greatest communications medium in the history of mankind at your fingertips. You have no excuses anymore.

If you stopped engineering every conversation you have on this forum into an opportunity to spew forth bombastic soap-box rants about everything, you'd realise that you're missing the point. Highlighting a characteristic is not necessarily supporting or advocating it. We all know that the voters for the DJ Mag poll are symptomatic of mainstream masses everywhere in their behavior, correct? That's why they are suckers for marketing, for hype and for associating popularity with validity in the first place. One of the characteristics of such people is that they don't go out and search for music: they accept what is put in front of them, like the masses always do.

Fact is that DJ Dan is an unknown quantity in mainstream clubbing in Europe, and that's because he doesn't do very much over here. It's fairly obvious that people vote for what they know on this poll, and if they don't know they won't fucking vote. So this poll doesn't prove shit all about American superiority over Europe, or anything like that. It just shows that DJ Dan is marketed to the dullards in America and not in Europe. They're still dullards, there's just less of them.

So fuck off with this trans-Atlantic agenda, because to suggest that Americans are less insular and self-obsessed than any other culture on Earth is just fucking stupidity. If a DJ doesn't market himself in a territory, he isn't going to win a popularity contest in that territory.

Originally posted by G-Con The fact is the vast majority of people don't search the internet looking for new DJs/producers. Most people's knowledge of whats out there is accumulated by going out clubbing in their own country, buying music magazines etc...and whats wrong with that?

Wrong
Wrong
It turns you retarded.

the whole DJMag voting thing is extremely stupid.
