Stupid post.

The top 100 DJ Award is an awesome idea and should be continued.

Lets start off my saying that where ever you look small minded people will bitch and whinge about commercialisation. It might be a quiet little pretty holiday town that has now become well known and busy, a small little rock band that has become super popular, whatever it is people are quick to fight CHANGE.

One thing that must be accepted by the socalled edm experts is that DJs have a much lower profile than other musical artists. Sure you might know 1,000 top producers and DJs off the top of your head but your average person on the street would struggle to recognise the 10 most popular DJs in the street.

And lets make one thing clear. Commercialisation, popularity, top 100 DJ competitions is good for the industry as a whole. It creates interest thereby creating income for artists, and this flows all the way down to the kid with decks in his bedroom. People that fail to see the bigger picture will complain that the Top DJ is not actually the best technically or musically, well, HELLO.

The biggest purpose that the top 100 DJ comp has is to increase the profile of DJs. When a DJ comes to your town and the flyers go out; everybody is sick of 'cutting edge trance dj', 'played alongside the likes of Oakenfold' etc, everybody fucking says that, but when its one of the top 10 or 20 DJs people get more interested and get along and pay their money.

And the best thing about this award is that it comes down to votes. Its not some stupid opinion of socalled experts that wins the prizes, we get to choose. Your opinions vs mine, it doesn't get fairer than that. So all you clowns that think the Top 100 DJs is a bad idea its probably because many of you think that you know better, but its just showing a lack of understanding of the world we live in and the music industry as a whole, and the edm industry specifically.

To me anybody that complains in any form about the Top 100 DJ competition looks as stupid as an idiot that goes outside under the moonlight and shakes his fist at the moon. Stupid.

In the world we live in you will always get a trade off between quality and success. Sure the coffee you might drink at the little Italian deli around the corner might be much better than the one you get at Starbucks, but Starbucks is sure better at marketing. There is a place in the world for everything and everybody.

A DJ might spend all his/her money on promotions and marketing and creating the biggest profile in the world, and most likely they will sell a shitload of records and get crowds to gigs. But this will only work in the short term. It won't be long until they are found out to be shit, or a someone that is much more talented tears them a new asshole. Even so the marketed plastic DJ will probably still be around in the top 10 forever.

But to bitch about these details is to forget to look at the bigger picture. The Top 100 DJs competition is not for the knowledgable edm lovers, they already know who their favorite artists are and don't need to be told my some magazine. Its for the lovers of rock music, its for the kids that have just turned 18 or 21, its for the person just developing a love for dance music. In an instant they can get a grasp of the big names in the industry, buy some of their albums, brag to their friends, become mini experts, become snobs, buy tickets to gigs, buy their own records.

This probably pisses of the edm elitists who think that you should not be told who the top 100 DJs are you should sit on the net for 25 hours a week, listen to thousands of records, follow tracklists, to get such an understanding. But they fail to realise that not everybody can do this and the easier you can make people experts the more likely that they will spend money and this helps everybody.

I am an artist, and I disagree with people that think that art cannot be advanced under business models. If it couldn't then we would never hear music or see art. The artist needs to promote themselves, make contacts, take some risks, spend some money; and this my friend is BUSINESS.

The content is doubled however its the same message to the same shallow ignorant argument.

Actually, anyone who supports this "top 100" DJ list apparently has no idea what they are talking about. Most of those DJ's don't belong there at all. You would see this if you weren't quite so ignorant, knowing what it takes to be a real DJ. And probably only two or three out of the entire 100 might have what it takes in a competition of real DJ skills.

The funniest part, the part that gets me, is people who don't even know what a real DJ is supporting no skill "DJ's" on this list. That's the highest form of stupidity. I know they were voted and I know that this is how it is, blah blah blah, that doesn't mean they deserve to be up there. It's a popularity contest. In no part of this post did I state whether I like or dislike the top 100 DJ list.

true true true. but hasn't this been repeated over and over and over again through the last couple of years? saying it again doesn't make a difference. and to a certain extent it's getting kinda stupid as this is no longer new.
