Not hating on you mate, but this is the top 100 djs as voted for people who read djmag.

Hands up here who reads dj mag.
Hands up who cares what dj mag readers think.

Techno is big, ugly and global enough not to need to rely upon dance magazines.

Dance music mags are for faddy drop ins who are desperate to learn whats cool, and will believe anything thats in print.

Awards like this are a pile of shit.

Techno is an attitude, not everyone will get it. That they don't doesn't degrade techno in the slightest.[/quote]

this is just it though, how on earth can you say techno is growing? you have to trust me on this i guess it isnt growing its shrinking at an alarming rate, there is a load of pap out there thats why we have to reconise the good, to ween out the bad, to elaborate on agent orange, first time is was in ny state on tour, there where about 4-5000 ravers at this gig, all the shops and artists in nyc where doing incredably well, last feb, i played and the promoter was stoked cause 60 people came through the door, that saturday another promoter was even happier because 100 people turned up, now i now i have opened up a can of worms for you guys to "well your shit rowland what do you expect" and you have the right to think that, but... NONE of the techno shops are open now, not even sonic groove home of frankie bone adam x and heather hart **** off players internationally of techno.
