OK TO GO was a good track though.

The tracks range from House, Progressive, Dubcrap, Trance and some really distorted Hard House. Its got some decent and some good tracks in there. The whole collection is not worth keeping.

Track for me from that album was the Arnej remix of "Concrete Angel". Other than that my vote was

1. Lee Osborne
2. Gareth Emery
3. Mr Pit
4. Ali Wilson
5. Leon Bolier

If I had another vote I'd include Max Graham, Tritonal, Nifra, Blake Jarrell and Ben Gold. It was definitely a struggle for me to pick.

Remco - I think so many people vote for Paris Hilton as a joke to boycott the chart that she actually will end up there! If not - she'll buy votes or suck some guys private parts to get on there.

Regarding the ranking I feel there will be a lot of changes. Wonder if Boy George will rank again or Avicii win #1

ROFLMFAO!

Lately, there has been someone selling votes for the poll on eBay.

Not only has DJMag discovered this, it has also discovered certain DJ/producers that ARE cheating in the poll. DJmag will expose them later in the week.

looks like someone's reputation is about to get smeared....

Yep:

Top 100 DJs Poll eBay Cheat Scam Exposed

DJ Mag hits back against attempts to discredit the poll
Last week, on Wednesday 26th July, it was brought to DJ Mag's attention that a posting on eBay Italy was claiming to be selling votes in the annual Top 100 DJs poll. This was posted in Italy by somebody trying to discredit the poll, and is no longer active as a live auction bid.

DJ Mag believes that this fake eBay posting was probably done by the same group of people responsible for the video last year that claimed to expose how people could cheat in the poll.

“I view this simply as an attempt to discredit the poll,” said Martin Carvell, Managing Director of DJ Mag. “DJ Mag takes the issue of cheating in the Top 100 DJs poll very seriously. As the guardians of the biggest poll in dance music, we do all we can to eliminate cheating in the poll so as to make this the most authoritative snapshot of a DJ's popularity and visibility at any one time.”

“Although there were no bids made, there was also nothing to suggest that the person behind the scheme would be able to provide the service he or she was advertising.”

By looking at the back end of the voting system, it's easy to spot who has been cheating. We are currently investigating a number of DJs with a succession of fraudulent votes, and will be making an announcement on this in due course.

There are a number of DJs that have been caught cheating, and DJ Mag will be naming and shaming them by the end of this week.

I hope it's not Paris Hilton getting cought. I want her to win hahaha

DJs Caught Cheating in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs Poll 2012

One DJ removed as of today (3rd August, 2012)...

DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs poll is widely regarded as the definitive annual dance music poll by music fans, promoters and industry figures the world over.

Many DJs legitimately campaign for votes, however, some DJs and/or their representatives have been found to use illegal methods to try to increase their voting share, and every year thousands of illegal votes are discounted. This has led to several exclusions from the Top 100 DJs Poll in recent years.

As guardians of the poll, DJ Mag takes the authenticity of the Top 100 DJs Poll very seriously.

Martin Carvell, DJ Mag’s Managing Director said: “This year, DJ Mag has discovered ‘blatant’ cheating and several high-profile DJs are currently under investigation. Our methods of analysis are sophisticated but time consuming, and DJ Mag has to be absolutely sure that illegal methods have been used to acquire votes before evicting DJs from the poll.”

Today, DJ Mag has announced the eviction of one DJ from the poll.

Carvell continued: “As of today (Friday August 3rd) DJ Mag are eliminating Miss Diamond from Switzerland from the Top 100 DJs Poll. Based upon our analysis, it is quite clear that Miss Diamond, or those working on her behalf, have cheated. We will be notifying her forthwith. Others will follow over the coming weeks.

“DJ Mag recognises how important the Top 100 DJs poll is to many people around the world. The promotional teams of many DJs realise how much of a boost it is for a DJ’s career to appear in the Top 100, but illegal methods must not be used to influence the poll and will not be tolerated. Those found to be bringing the Top 100 DJs Poll into disrepute will be excluded from the poll.”

Carvell also said: “Anyone aware of any suspicious activity being undertaken by anyone employed, hired, or affiliated with a DJ can contact the magazine in the strictest confidence.”

Byebye Miss Diamond hahaha

Will probably only be unknown DJs... And maybe Steve Angello, since he's familiar with cheating.

An EDMsnob.com investigation has revealed a scheme in which prominent Electronic Dance Music artists and their management pay large fees to DJ Magazine (known as DJ Mag) in exchange for publishing positive stories about them.

Wow, so, they've discovered that the DJ's have marketing teams working for them. What's the big deal here? Sensationalist story.

Makes sense.

First thing I thought when I read it somewhere on FB yesterday was:

Wow, paying for advertising! That's just crazy!

Cz, when you see the receipts, most of them are for advertising (the rest is unspecified) and in the case of Ferry Corsten they even give the example of the issue, where there's an advert of him in it...

A lot of things are going on at DJ Mag and the poll is nowhere near honest, but DJ Mag is an easy target at the moment and this seems to be an easy score for a website looking for new members through a 'sensational' article.
