I have little time for this poll. It purports to be international yet is mainly compiled from UK responses and has a UK bias. There have always been questions about this poll in the industry, too. I never give it much weight myself. However, the exclusion of Jeff Mills could be partly because he does not play in the UK so much now. This too raises an interesting question, why is it that if a DJ is big everyone but in the UK, plays everyone but the UK, then he/she don't exist in the eyes of the UK media. DJ Pierre pointed out this bias in an Australian interview, he too plays everywhere but the UK. Happily when an Australian magazine did a similiar poll Mills came in at number 1.
DJ Magazine is quite arrogantly UK centric. When it did an article on the Australian scene, it declined to use any Australian journalists, though we are English speakers and know our scene, instead it brought out a few UK hacks who rated clubs that had closed down and actually got people's genders wrong. It was the talk of the biz for all the wrong reasons - it was hilarious!! :) ---------- >From: "laura gavoor" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [email protected] >Subject: [313] DJ Mags Top 100 DJs >Date: Sat, 3 Nov 2001 6:02 AM > >FYI: > >DJ Magazine has announced the winners of their annual poll....with the >exception of Jeff Mills....not one DJ from Detroit was listed. > >Obviously, as a UK publication they're going to get more UK fans voting, so >Sasha Digweed are one + two or two + one...yeah whatever... > >_________________________________________________________________ >Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp > > >--------------------------------------------------------------------- >To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
