I can see that it can be important to promotion and sales, but to say it's killing the techno scene because there are no techno djs in the top 100? Come on! The majority of the real cutting edge techno DJs & acts in the world will never be in the top 100 anyhow, if anyone from techno is going to be in there it's going to be the same names as there always was i.e. Mills, Hawtin, Clarke, Cox, even Sims etc, no disrespect to any of them, they are just the best know names out of a very wide style.. as I say, I think it's a very UK angled thing, as I don't see many people on the scene outside the UK really paying much more attention to it, they've probably got Groove magazine or De:Bug polls to be worried about instead..
And surely, techno was never about winning popularity contests was it??
