That's like saying PLAYING your own tracks makes you lose credibility. That is what the chart is supposed to represent after all... A list of tracks being PLAYED most often.
Fair enough. There are many djs that play a distinct sound that is probably made up of their own productions or those of label mates. I guess what I'm thinking, and perhaps some others as well, is that the chart doesn't necessarily reflect what the dj is playing most often - or is truly representative of what he/she thinks is their top 10 at that particular moment. I may be wrong - and it happens WAY too often for my liking, but I don't usually take anything at face value anymore. Cheers.
N.B. Maybe a distinction should be made between djs who play only their tracks and those of label mates and others who incorporate different sounds in their sets. Hell, what do I know I'm just cynical and if I were in a similar position I'd be looking to get paid somehow.

This is one DJ to whom I would actually give the benefit of doubt. I've seen him a few times - a couple sets at Aria in Montreal and the NYD party at Circa at the beginning of the year - and his sets always bring out a DARK, kinky vibe that is truly his own. Cheers.

look i used to be a massive fan of his but lately his label's sound and attitude has changed, especially when he jumped on the tribal bandwagon again even though he claimed he would never play a tribal track again.

Let em put what they want and let it be perceived however it will be perceived.
Sounds like you've gotten over the 'what everyone else thinks about me' mentality that holds so many people back in this world. Downloaded one of your sets off Tribe last year and was pleasantly surprised. I think it was a July 09 from a local radio show or podcast, but can't be sure. I just remember thinking this girl's got rhythm and is probably dynamite in bed.

I wouldn't know and hopefully you don't see my reply as a personal affront, but I understand your need to clarify as I do it all the time. Cheers.

You can buy your way onto many DJ's charts. The fee in 2002 was $5000 to have your track put on A-list DJ's chart. I'm not sure who determines which DJ's participate, whether they opt in themselves or their management handles it.
