Here is what John 00 Fleming wrote in his latest diary. Interesting read, especially about the clubland climate in recent years in different countries:
I feel things are now split in two. You get professional promoters who understand what they are doing musically, then the more corporate who dont and rely on charts. I've had first hand experience of both over the past few years and I'd rather play for the guy who knows what he's doing. The professional guy who lives, breathes music and programmes his events making sure he gets a regular crowd with like-minded punters. This creates a community of dedicated followers who know and trust his brand. |
Thatīs what I try to do here in Germany!
Itīs not easy to do it here because Trance had his big time many years ago and died on the Cover/Remake and Dancetracks they had played/ selled it over and over......:rolleyes:
But John is right in many points, weīll see what happen in the next years........
Greetings

| quote: | | The chart now reminds me of a government general election. The front-runners will always be in the public eye and appeal to the masses and have their strong loyal followers. But when the voting opens, suddenly unknown politicians appear wanting the next positions with powerful marketing machines behind them fighting for every vote possible, even turning to corruption. Then when the elections are over they disappear and you never hear from then again until the following year?! This angers the public every year because they ask why arent these guys active throughout the year showing us what they can do and earning an honest vote? |
Is this real in Dj ??? :conf: |

| perfectly written. I've always had a ton of respect for John even when I didn't listen to what he played, because he has a level head on his shoulders, and this is proven once again here. I only hope everyone takes time to read that because it's true. |

The ones that should be awarded are the marketing companies
their shouldn't be a contest for music. |

He put it exactly the way I feel, good read.
Like it was mentioned before, one of the main reasons I thought the list was fake, is because J00F wasn't on it... |

well, since you belong to an elite band of "critics" why don't you say it better than somebody who's toured the world for as long as you were a wee e ? I'm sure your opinion will outweigh that of a well spoken dj... |

| Screw DJ mag. That is all. Who the hell is DJ Dan anyway? If any American DJ deserves a spot that high in the list - it's KT without a doubt. |
