Just found out this article, it's quite interesting

Seems like the most famous DJs paid the most, although there are others as well, not so well known

Same for a psy trance publication that shall remain nameless. I was asked if I wanted to pay to have an article in it. I declined.           Turn On, Tune In, Trance Out!!!

Very old story that also includes artists hiring companies that focus on creating countless email accounts that vote for them thats why from time to time we see on the list people like Solar System (Israeli totally unknown full on producer) for example which was a total joke.

The DJ Mag list was interesting years ago when people actually had to buy the magazine and send their votes through the old fashioned snail mail using a special form that the magazine included for this voting purpose. But for the last 5-6 years at least the whole thing is a circus.           Toodaloo Motherfuckers!!!!!

and a lot of social networking too.

If you click on the pages of most big names now and goto the likes page, example:

https://www.facebook.com/infectedmushroom/likes

https://www.facebook.com/skrillex/likes

and even

https://www.facebook.com/madonna/likes

etc etc ...

Notice that the most popular city always pops up as Mexico City, Distrito Federal, Mexico.

A lot of these services are actually out in the open now...

yes it always works this way but still a shame. when I look at these commercial trance producers (ferry corsten, armin van buuren, Tiėsto) I am almost ashamed to be Dutch. These people give electronic music a bad name. that's my opinion.

Both of the main paper Psytrance magazines that I'm aware of operate(d) this way. Buying your way to prominence isn't hard, just expensive.           Mastering - http://mastering.OOOD.net :: www.is.gd/mastering

One easy and free way is to wait for people to put down their smartphones, then pick them up and "like" your page on their phone before they get back.
