i cant believe SPLIT would lower themselves.. gutted
obviously people have alot of different views on this one, the actual point of the split mailout (which i actually wrote myself last year) was to just try and get a few more techno names in the vote, it wasn't supposed to be a vote for sims and finke thing, unfortunately the guy that did the mailout added the names and photo's at the top without even asking, so sorry for that, we certainly aren't begging or going hungry but i still feel that without any magazine recognition, whether it's in a trance/ibiza orientated mag or not, there will be no new generation of people listening to techno, there will be no countries that embrace the music and eventually it'll die out.


most people start out listening to crap dance music anyway and only thru education and exposure can they get into or even hear about other styles. the poll maybe a back patting excercise but if it can bring more people to the scene and help spread the word, then whats wrong with techno being in it??? it can only benefit the music in the long run, no?
