and i'll tell you why.

none of them really say who is the popular DJ in the clubs or who has the maddest diary. I mean, I spoke to one of the top 30 DJ's in that DJ poll the other day and they told me they were booked until December but the club scene is 'going down' and their diary was full of cancellations and loads of spare weekends. I look at tour/dj dates that come through to me from those DJ's with albums out (on the press releases) and some of those who are popular in that 'dj list' site have like two dates a month.

i look at my own diary and it's full until december, in fact until february 2006. chrissi tells me trying to get a date with me is like trying to get a date with a gay priest. not that i am a gay priest you understand. :)

so here lies my problem. and my issue with these polls. if these polls were a fair reflection of us in the techno scene and our diaries and our ability to rock the place, then great. but they're not. they're all to do with hype. they're all to do with those mass emails everyone gets from the 'important' pr companies. sorry but this is absolute bullshit in my eyes.

sure, promotion is great for you if you choose to do it.. but i've never once mass emailed all of you telling you to vote for me on the dj list and the top 100, even though i have your email addys. come to think about it i've never promoted this forum (well apart from a post on DJ Rush's site 5 years ago hehe)..

these polls have become the bastard son of dj promotion heaven. they don't reflect the true, real ppl in this game that are rockin the place. and that goes for me, surgeon, ruskin up to all the new school that soooo deserve to be there.

sorry to have an outburst hehehehe but i really am gettting p'ed off with seeing pppl on this chart that two months ago flooded me with emails to vote for them

:evil:

---

maybe if you voted mark ruskin and surgen would get in, AND... if your booked to feb 2006 thats ****ing sweet mate!!! but i ****ing laugh my tits off if your in it this year hahahahahahaha!!!!!! i voted for you cunt!

I wont be suprised if Marks in it you know, its about time maybe.
Your possibly the biggest name on that perticular scene Mark.
And as somone pionted out with the tidy bookings and such a few more kids will have found out about you and that scene.

yeah, but this is specifically about the poll opening awareness to people about techno, which doesnt really make a difference at all seeing how these publications contain articles about techno, interviews with techno artists, reviews of techno records every month anyway... i mean, i read a magazine the other week i cant remember it was dj mag or idj one of those and it had an "inside the studio" section with Cristian Vogel, 2 page spread lots of info, pics, interview etc, so if its a regular reader and they havent picked up anything in the mag about techno yet then 5 or 6 techno placings in a poll thats published once a year really isnt going to make much difference.... i can see the point behind backing these polls, i just genuinely believe they have no effect upon the scene as a result, i wish they did, really, but alas

can you remember what mag that was Scott would like too read that Vogal artical

and how come your post count so small :eh:

im stuck for the life of me mate it wasnt my mag but it was an excellent article... i should of ripped it out haha

no please god dont get me in there. :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:

to be fair, i really don't care. actually i'm good friends with the editor of dj - she used to be the editor of m8. i have no problem with dj whatsover, i've written articles for them. but i really don't want to be a part of a fad. whatever you say - this is an email popularity contest. this poll is just not what i'm about.. no offense to anyone who votes or anything but it's just not me. i'd love to be in a 'true' top 100 dj poll, passed around those on the dancefloor, it would make my day, but this is not. not now. not with 20 emails a week telling me to vote for dj x.

i really hope i dont sound bitter. i really don't mean this. i just have come to the conclusion that this poll means nothing to me.. absolutely nothing...

now let's just get on with the music and sod these polls. :cool: :cool: :cool: :lol: :lol: :lol:

not with 20 emails a week telling me to vote for dj

i reitterated this point in another post, if i get one more email off such and such dj reminding me not to forget to vote for them in such and such a poll, il scream... i even had one dj i know a little say they didnt want to check out a new track as they were busy, but then their next sentance was "oh have you voted for me here yet..." and proceeded to list about 3 polls they wanted me to vote in

really

i actually got he idea of psreading the word off a ben simms and mark broom email, thought they had a good pint and thought i'd try to do my bit and post it up to make awarness, been a ****ing good thread though, dont yal think.

hahahahaha!!!! if you thought polls meant nothing mark why did you write this in your biog???

With a DJ history that spans back to the early 1980's, Mark is widely acclaimed for his intense and captivating stage presence, as well as his outrageous deck talents. His most notable achievements include his massive popularity in Serbia over the last eight years - where techno is the biggest form of club music thoughout the country; his almost cult-like status within the UK hard dance movement (especially in the South-West where his residency sets at places such as The Country Club were legendary); the near sonic domination of the Canadian rave scene in the late nineties (a close second to Paul Oakenfold in a popular Magazine Poll). But most recently he was voted 'UK's Best Hard Dance DJ' at the the Hardcore Heaven Awards 2003, proving his continued popularity within the hard dance fraternity.

was trying to highlight the bits about awards you have but couldnt sooooorrrrrryyyyyyy

i'd never pick on you mate and always stand behind you in a knife lol! sorry in a stupid mood, im just having a giggle please dont take offence.

offs does that stand for oh for ****s sake? thought you didnt like swearing on her or especially the f word, isnt shortening it to first letters the same a swearing? i mean it means the same everyone knows what it means so its the same right? your breaking your own rules mark, ****! that doesnt show much of a role to us slack jawd yokals!!!! hahahaha lolololololo, oh this is great monday night action, better than whatching porn

rowland, stop it. i know this. perhaps i over reacted there. sorry man. total repsect to you man. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

depends on the porn

you're still the biggest TWAT i ever met though :twisted: :twisted:

its better then sitting in the studio sniffing k off girlys boobys!!!!!!!! not as good as sniffing smack off big hairy man boobs though :eh:

Fact of the matter is simple. If you don't want "hype," don't complain when you're so unpopular to the point of not doing anything but burning a hole in your pocket. Of course a DJ List is bullshit hype. Who cares? Hype isn't what makes an artist or scene suck. You got nothing to lose by taking 10 seconds to fill in some names and forget about it.

Or, if you really wanted to try a prank and point out the silliness of such lists, let's create a fake DJ, give him/her some fake cred, keep the name androgynous, and try and get a number of our friends to vote on the guy. Then, we could all share the fake identity and make some cash. :p

oh are we starting to have personal digs now are we? hhhmmmm i'll get back to you on that reply mark, obviously not as cool as you make out if your getting offended by some presenting a valid point

rudi shmulten wow hes the best

:lol: :lol: :lol:

www.areyouugly.com

So, **** it, let's do it then. Aim for next year's. Spend some time creating a phantom bio online through various webpages. Seriously, just through some fake reviews and a number of people making mixes under the name for some online site, we could make this person the most diverse DJ in the world. ;)

Haha. Not really. People will forget about this thread. Just use a different name than Rudi Chmulten, but something equally as androgynous and comical. ;)
