It's nothing new that 99% of the stuff released out there is total crap, why did DJMAG finally turn on tiest0r? (and Avicii...)
What's next? an issue with the cover: "Electro House Must Die!" does this symbolize hope for EDM? |
DJMag wants to be taken seriously as a credible journalistic source for all things electronic music orientated, and if that means tearing down the commercial juggernauts of the scene, so be it. Frankly, if slamming a new Tiesto album is how they figure they'll earn underground cred', they're going about it in a sad, petulant way. They want to get all hip and snarky about these things, but lack any finesse in doing so (sorry, chaps, but you'll never be Muzik Magazine).
No one's ever going to take them seriously while they continue running their annual DJ popularity contest, no matter how many weak appeals to the underground like ripping on Tiesto they continue making. To be honest, I think they should just embrace it, become full-on purveyors of all things EDM cheddar, though in a slightly underhanded way if they must.
