Itm 50

Ok I am really not a fan of popularity contests at the best of times. I have and always will play underground music, and i am OK with the fact that most people don't get it. So if people don't know me as a DJ its no real surprise.

But every year I log on to the ITM 50 and vote for myself and were possible the events I promote. But this year was a bit different.
I noticed that the ABC jam which we stopped promoting well over 2 years ago was still on the list to be selected. My current night Molecular @ Cushdy was not on the list at all. So I voted for an event I did years ago. Abviously the has been zero effort to keep this up to date with the exception of the major festivals who pay bucket loads of cash to have banners down the side of this web site.

Also in the DJ listings I noticed that Jude Alexander is still in the SA section. He has lived in VIC for at least three years now and as far as i know does not DJ anymore. There could be more of these types of errors in there this is just one I noticed.

So has the bullshit popularity contest really gone to sh!t now?

it's always been shit. now its just even more irrelevant

the database of locals is probably way out of date.. those that retire still make the database along with the ever growing list of people calling themselves dj's... again cash will push those with it or money backing them the top... I guarantee that the top 5 in SA will all be rostered at HQ, Electric Circus and now maybe Red Square, and that the awards for the club will go in that order also!!

I think the real battle in SA is raced between 20 and 10 where the guys/girls with the followings for what they do but with little backing sit most years, however these results don't go public!!

though i maintain it took a decent effort for loot and plunder to poll top 10 nationally and cashed up or not deserves a bit of cred given the eastern state guys have millions and labels behind them!!

How exactly is the list compiled? Somehow i'm on there :meh:

I think they just take it from events on ITM.

The best spammer always wins....flawless top 50.

i voted Smokin Joe Mekhael
