Majority of you people who commented on CL & Dj Dan don't even listen to those Djs or that particular genre of music (Trance) so i am curious to know how you come to a conclusion that they suck? I am not a huge Dj Dan fan myself nor do i know much about him so i will leave him out of this but i do know alot about CL as i been following his career since 1999. CL is a remarkable DJ.
He is one of the best in the business both in person and on stage. I am disappointed to read about this cheating thing but i will give him the benefit of doubt that maybe, just maybe he didn't know what his manager was upto. You see clubs around the world including our very own GUV tends to book DJs based on these stupid polls such as DJ Mag. Whoever has higher rankings = good Dj = many bookings across the globe. Now the more bookings a dj has that means more money he makes which in turn ofcourse means more money in the pocket of the managers. So it could very well be possible that the manager was up to no good and didnt care if he destroyed his DJ's reputation in the process.
We have been crying for years that this Dj Mag poll is complete shit as it takes away much credit from people who actually deserve it. People who make the original tunes for big time djs and those Djs get to buy those tunes and slap their name on them. CL is not one of those big time Dj. All of his work has been done by himself and no one else. Regardless of this DJ Mag Poll bullshit to me CL is still one of the prime and most outstanding Dj around just because he is atleast original in his work. It will be very interesting to see how his and Dj Dan's gigs are effected from here on forward. It will be nice if people could understand that if they do not like the type of music being played by a ceratin dj that doesn't mean that the dj sucks. Try looking at the bigger picture as to what that Dj has accomplished over his career.
cheers

4 Christopher Lawrence - North American trance don Lawrence is leading the scene Stateside and is increasingly present on the global stage. He's climbed up 10 places since last year.
5 DJ Dan - US jock Dan wins the 'Highest House DJ' accolade this year. Although something of a dark horse in Europe, in the States he's huge.
6 Ferry Corsten
7 Sasha
8 John Digweed
9 Above & Beyond
10 Deep Dish
Its funny reading this list because the other 8 DJs are people you would expect to be in the top 10, while christopher lawrence and dj dan obviously stand out as being much higher listed than you would expect, not that they are bad DJs, they just arent as popular as the ohter 8 on the list.... the other 8 are pretty much the same as the djlist.com ratings.....
I was always amazed to see DJ Dan win highest rated _________, i think i have seen it a few times.... i do really like him, but i always knew that he wasnt extremely popular or anything... maybe this poll fixing has been going on for a while

I know...and to resort to that level is just a joke...but I think many of us suspected something like this was in the air...I thought it was just a myspace vote for me please thing but this is worse...IMO they just took away a top 10 place from DJ Sammy

Actually clubs generally don't give a shit if a DJ is "good" or not. They want heads through the door, and if someone is in the top 10, he/she is more likely to be more of a draw.
