The only thing that surprises me, is that as many uplifting trance DJs scored as highly as they did. For those of you in the USA who don't get DJ mag, it's hardly going to provide a balanced opinion from a reader's poll, simply because it's always been a mainly UK prog house flavoured magazine. If all your readers are into prog house, then a reader's poll is obviously going to favour those kind of DJ's ...
For example, I'm just looking through last week's issue and there's a big multi page cover story on Deep Dish ... full page interviews with Ubu, Ashley Casselle and Nigel Lawson (all prog) ... there's also a couple of French disco-house producers, one old-school rapper that no one's ever heard of, something about the Future Sound of London, and a cover CD from Chicken Lips (wacky house music record label). The whole epic/uplifting trance scene is represented by a tiny little quarter page in the news section, asking four short questions to PvD about his new mix album.
If, however, you look at real big stadium size dance events like Gatecrasher at the NEC last week, they still call in the big guns of epic trance like Oakenfold and PvD to be their headliners when they want to guarantee they're going to fill the place. Imagine if they had headlined with John Digweed, how many tickets would they have sold  If this poll actually bears any resemblance to the true state of what's popular in UK clubland, then I'm Mary Queen of Scots.
