And who cares about some sh!tty rag's top 100 anyway?
well ...
this kind of stuff surely can help as a promotion-tool for dj´s/artists
and can help them with their business ..
- these business-aspects might not seem important in music for you
but we all (should) know how many of the most gifted artists
stop making music, or make it very rarely cauze of this chain :
they don´t get enough attention with what they do ...
so not many people are paying them for their art ...
therefore they have a difficult business-situation ...
therefore they have to focus on "normal jobs" for surviving without
music
or have to change the music to more simple formulars ...
how many of the most gifted can´t make the music they could give to the
world,
cauze they don´t have the time, cauze they have to focus on the other
realities ?
that´s why I think we probably all should vote there ?
m
I think it's well cheeky of them to do that - if people want to vote,
they will.

I'm forwarding a mail-out from the Retrovert mailing list. It's fairly
self-explanatory.
Would anyone consider voting?

********************
Every year DJ magazine compiles a top 100 list of the supposed best
dj´s around, yet it rarely features any techno at all. The top 100 may
not seem important, you may not like DJ mag and you probably already
know who your favourite dj´s are..get to see them often and don´t need
to stroke their ego by voting for them. The reason it is important is
that the list is seen globally as¨official¨, as the real people/party
goers´ choice. By techno having little or no representation in the top
100 the profile of the trance and pop dj´s that make up most of the
list just gets bigger while the techno scene keeps getting smaller,
slipping further into obscurity.
As the club scene continues to spread around the world it will forever
be dominated by the same few select DJ´s if they are the only ones
that are ever mentioned in the magazines. New scenes and new clubs
will never get to hear about anything but the obvious names, and music
styles like techno, electro, broken beat or electronica will simply
never make it to new places or find new audiences to keep it alive.
This year though, we´d like to turn things around: Instead of the
media forever brainwashing the readers with the same old names we´d
like to put techno firmly back on the map - and we can do so with your
help. So please take out a couple of minutes of your time and try to
get a few more deserving DJ´s in the top 100 this year:

We´d also, of course, like to suggest your support for our trusty
residents...
