tiga's real talents lay in his remixing abilities. If you look carefully on the sleve of any record he's put out, there's always someone else's name on it once or twice, and he also has a lot of help from the unsung hero of montreal, mateo murphy, who is both an awesome dj, producer and a humble good guy.

take the tiga record "pleasure from the bass". after reading the fine print, you realize that it's co-produced by jasper dahlbak and that the 303 is preformed by sailorboy. so how much did tiga really do?

all that aside, guy's a decent dj. plays good music thats for sure.

That's all fine and good, but paying people to vote for you because you'll 'go crazy if you dont make it into the top 20'? Comm'on.....that's just silly-whether you are kidding or not. Somehow I think he's not though.....look at who his booking agency is - same one who manages Tiesto -and everyone knows that Tiesto has a whole pr/marketing team that goes out and begs people to vote for him on that list. Pretty boy Tiga will probably cry if he's not in the top 20 :lol:

Im pretty sure he's just kidding, Becka. Although I must say he's not the only one askin for votes for this popularity contest. Have you seen Richie Hawtin's website recently?

Richie Hawtin[/url]]For the past few years DJ Magazine has been running it's 'top 100' DJ poll. Many of you might think this poll is a waste of time (Im not so sure about it either) but there here lies chance. The poll has been increacingly dominated by DJ's playing all genres of dance music yet somehow the Techno/Minimal scene is hardly represented and therefore barley recognized for its worldwide popularity. Perhaps now is the time we should cast a vote for the DJs we love and respect to help create a Top 100 list that not only represents a more diverse DJ reflection, but also truley shows that the world scene is not only intrested in dancing to trance music.

Whether you vote for someone like me, Ricardo, Sven, Magda, Laurent or any of the other DJ's out there, vote now and show your support for the music we believe in. Cast a vote and be heard!

yea, I must say, Hawtin is much more tackful. Anyways, point being that a lot of big gigs come from being in the top twenty. I mean think about it - you send a promoter a promo package that says you're one of the top twenty djs in the world, and enough people voted for you to say so that promoter is going to be pretty sure you can draw out enough heads to pay for your costs.
