This is exactly the point of the site. Grooverider hasn`t featured in DJ Mag top 100 DJs, yet he djs week in week out to sold out clubs.

D&B is a vibrant and legitimate music scene, there is a tendency amongst "trance heads" to try and ignore the existence of other musical genres,the reality is, whilst Trance is without doubt the most popular music, and there is nothing wrong with this, it is not quite as dominant as polls like DJ Mags Top 100 would have you believe.

Your comment proves the necessity of a site like www.thetop100djs.com , because if you are truly a dance music fan, you should know who Grooverider is, because most D&B heads and most Techno heads know who Tiesto, Van Dyke etc are.

Peace

touche

however, if D&B is so essential, which i'm not arguing against, why is he the only notable D&B Dj in the top 50?
as much as that could be the purpose, that list is very much house/trance oriented. some techno and a few turntablists to spice things

The list reflects the status of music. The top 20 only has 9 trance DJs, the rest is house, breaks and techno.

Noone said Drum and Bass was so essential, however, the fact that there is a Drum and Bass DJ in the top 10 indicates there is a healthy scene.

In the top 50, 32 DJs are non-trance...In the Live Act top 20 only 5 Acts are trance Acts.
So in conclusion, approx 75% of the leading artists in the world are non-trance, yet If you to read the latest issue of Mixmag, BPM or anything similar you will not see coverage that equates to this breakdown.

More likely the coverage will be 75% trance orientated and 25% to other genres...This perpetuates the myth and the bias towards trance music, which when good is an awesome genre, however, this rule can be applied to every other genre out there.

Thats cool...I understand your point, but that is why we set up the site. A lot of DJs get ignored because they are not politically correct, don`t do the right drugs, haven`t the money to buy exposure.

This site hopefully will let people explore other DJs and musical genres and see why there are a few people in the top 50 you may not expect, but the placings cannot be fixed, cannot be massaged, the DJs are there because their music warrants it.

You don`t have to like everyone, but at leats investigate them and broaden your horizons. I am a techno head, however, having listened to Paul Van Dyk since we started working on the site,something I would never normally even contemplate doing, I can see why he is so respected...

Sweet you have Front 242 as a mover and shaker. Thats one of my favorite alternative bands from the 90's
