The first thing I wish to mention is the lack of coverage that the list is getting online- DJ Magazine themselves haven’t updated their site to announce the results yet! The list has been available since Monday so that has something to do with the muted response, as does the fact that the top ten is virtually the same and lower down is dominated by obscure trance DJs. I can see that next year DJ Magazine pulling out of the poll entirely since it’s not really fitting in with their mission statement to cover all genres of dance music.
With well over half the top one hundred now trance DJs it’s clear that the followers of the likes of Van Buuren, Tiesto et al are very adept with the internet and new media. Or (more likely) that followers of every other genre don’t bother to vote for their favourite DJs as they feel they stand little or no chance in making an impact in the chart.
It’s very easy to get hung up on issues arising from the chart, like a DJ from Russia who knows how to spam effectively can actually rank higher than Carl Cox, Dave Clarke doesn’t even place in the top one hundred and that Graeme Le Saux’s Spanish brother almost made it into the chart. Thats why I believe the chart should now be treated as a bit of fun. Admittedly a bit of fun that generates millions of pounds for those who place in the top one hundred, but a bit of fun notheless.
Olive – “You’re Not Alone”…
Posted in Music with tags Breaks, Olive, Trance on October 2, 2009 by eljmayes
This is the “leather trousers” version of the video for those of you keeping score at home;).
The Prodigy – “Take Me To The Hospital”…
Posted in Music with tags Breaks, Rock, The Prodigy on August 5, 2009 by eljmayes
Very ravey sounding effort from The Prodigy which is out later this month to download:).
Cassius – “Youth, Speed, Trouble, Cigarettes”…
Posted in Music with tags Breaks, Cassius, Hip Hop, House on July 15, 2009 by eljmayes
New tune from Cassius that is so underground that it hasn’t got an official video yet;).
Toddla T & Herve – “Shake It”…
Posted in Music with tags Breaks, Herve, Hip Hop, House, Toddla T on May 10, 2009 by eljmayes
Infectious hip house from Mr. T and Herve:).
Freeland – “Under Control”…
Posted in Music with tags Adam Freeland, Breaks, House, Rock on May 2, 2009 by eljmayes
Rather rocky outing for Adam Freeland, a man who looks like he really should be the lead singer of a moderately successful indie band;).
Casiokids – “Fot i Hose”…
Posted in Music with tags Breaks, Casio Kids, House, Indie, Pop on April 18, 2009 by eljmayes
Glitchy pop filth from Norway- hence the slightly odd title:).
Röyksopp – “Happy Up Here”…
Posted in Music with tags Breaks, Pop, Röyksopp on March 30, 2009 by eljmayes
Excellent first single from the album “Junior” which is out now;).
