Neither am I and neither do I live in London, but I like to keep up with at least the major names in every scene so I'm not left baffled when one of them tops a popularity chart. But perhaps that's because I'm a music journalist.

Beats the Dj Mag top 10 IMO. Surprised Erol Alkan is number 1...

I don't listen to house/prog/techno/and a couple of other genres

Electro, especially, makes me want to rip my ears off, and stuff like Digitalism is so boring. (I only heard of them because an ex-housemate was a huge fan, whenever we'd have house parties, we'd humour him for 15 minutes tops before switching the music to something else, hehe)

It is a much better list than the DJ Mag one and I think that's indicative of the fact that in the UK the dance music scene has passed its (most recent) boom period in the late 90's / early 00's and as such now a large percentage of the people in the UK who still listen to dance music have been around longer. Whereas the more emerging scenes in north America still have plenty of new blood who haven't scratched the surface yet.

Still surprised Erol Alkan is number 1 though. He seemed to be much more popular a couple of years back and I haven't heard as much from him recently.

yeah, it's at least all got british voters so relevant to the UK itself.

Mylo - Drop The Pressure (Erol Alkan's Extended Re-Edit) - great tune.

+1 that this poll is better then the rest (DJ Mag)

WTF? It's basically the same shit just rearranged a bit. Anyone who thinks this is in anyway better than the DJ Mag list is smoking a bit too much of their own cock.
