im curious to know how being in the top 100 helps your career.. |
More votes means a higher spot. A higher spot means that a DJ is in higher demand, which means he can charge more......and so forth

I happen to think that Christopher Lawrence is a good DJ. Or was at least; I haven't listened to any of his stuff from the past few years, so I can't comment on anything recent.
That obviously doesn't excuse this kind of cheating, but seeing as how it was the same marketing manager in both cases, I'm more inclined to blame him than I am to blame the DJs. It's possible that he offered to cheat for both of them and they both accepted, but it seems more likely to me that he just went ahead and did it without their knowledge or consent. I don't know much about DJ Dan, but Christopher Lawrence is a family man who's never made a particularly big deal about his DJing, or asked for ridiculous amounts of money.
And to be honest, I don't think he'll be that miffed over being disqualified from this. Tiesto, Armin, Sasha or Digweed would all undoubtedly their pants if it happened to them. |
