Dj Mag Who Do They Think They Are?????

[dan the acid man]

yeah keep on topic.

As for the music business looking after their own, it's always happened, and even more so now, i'm sure DJ Magazine struck up a deal to promote this OMID thingy bloke with his record labels or what ever.

Telling everybody he's the best thing since sliced bread and the heards of sheep following just because DJ Magazine said so and it makes them look cool.

Im surprised at you, usually you're a lot more cynical than this.

DJ Mag are a bunch of jumped up tosspots anyway, besides you think you got it bad down there man, think about whats its like for us up here in the north, you got access if needed to these tosspots in one way of another, we get SHIT up here. DJ wank Mag and the others are all london centric to the point it makes me want to vomit.

They're all paid for shit anyway, OMI16D or whatever the **** his name is no doubt has some strings pulled and cocain blown up some PR/editors bottom. Its all VERY nepotistic, besides the DJ mag 1op 100 is a ****ing sham. I know one of the brothers of someone who charted in the top 25 and HE was paid to sit around all day spoofing hotmail votes etc etc. he managed to get 12000 extra votes. But then promoters of nights aorund the globe dont really understand this and book on the strengths of these lists, particularly for wank fests like trance or house gigs.

I gues the other side of the coin is that if it were a big name on the front cover then the argument could be that DJ SHAG/MAG were not giving the little guy a chance. Or perhaps the editors of the magazine dont really have their finger on the pulse anymore, or are followig where the money is in the industry right now, just so their schmoozing is of better quality, more drugs, more free flights to ibeeeeFFAA, more VIP in the Club etc etc.. snort snort.

Wax Magazine was the best one when I got into buying DJ Magazines way way back... the demise of this part of the industry became clearly apparent when this publication ceased... :cry:

I've met Leslie in 2002 at the after party to DJ 100 poll winners party, who is the editor of DJ Magazine and spoke with her on a few things... she poo poo'd acid techno, which showed me straight away how blinkered her approach to dance music was, in reality... :grr:

...and I remember forcing her to admit that once you turn your back on the underground, no matter what it is, and just focus on the above ground mainstream arena then eventually the musical river will run dry as it is not being fed by tributaries - - then stagnation will occur bringing about the demise of the dance music industry... well :icon3:

Went back to her house for a while n eventually, by about 2pm, she wound up screeching that, "all those who weren't close unit friends had to GET OUT!!!" - -nobody had been unruly or owt so her reaction was completely unwarranted and very un music bizz parse in my book... oh aye :coffee:
