Just like previous years the madness surrounding the highly overrated yet marketing wise very useful DJmag Top 100 is in full effect. Some DJs apparently care so much that they’ve decided to turn to cheating…

Last week a video surfaced that explained how DJ’s were using an international recruitment site to buy votes from coder companies in India and other countries which would get them thousands of votes illegally. Today DJmag came with an official statement regarding the issue.

“As the magazine went to press, we were in the process of confronting these DJs and their teams with the evidence. The first two DJs confronted flatly denied any improper methods, as did their agency, so as yet no DJ has been disqualified. Instead, the focus has now been turned to the Indian coders and whether their mysterious job offers had not been created by DJmag Top 100 DJs denigrator’s intent on causing mischief, or fellow DJs trying to tarnish the names of some of their bigger competition.

DJmag is determined to ensure that the poll is as fair and representative to the current worldwide DJ scene as possible, and to this end we have now decided to set up an amnesty to highlight illegal voting practices. Please note, investigations are continuing in earnest and will not cease to do so until voting ends on September 23rd, giving you over a month in which to pursue all genuine votes. There is still everything to play for…”

Well, you can leave that whole representative statement out, as it’s nowhere near a trustworthy popularity contest. Furthermore, DJ Mag states “(…) any DJ or their representative who has already been using illegal voting methods can email DJmag in full confidence detailing how they obtained illegal votes. If they do so, these votes will be immediately discounted but they themselves won’t be disqualified. Again, please note, if a DJ doesn’t own up to acting illegally and they are found to have cheated, they will be immediately disqualified and publicly named and shamed.”

So all you sucker DJ’s buying votes from Indian people who probably never even heard of you, please behave and don’t mess up the rest of your career. It’s sad, it’s desperate, and the girl groupies won’t like you when they find out. Okay, back to business please.
