Originally posted by Woony I'm not sure if the poll has ever been that in line with their editorial policy but the split has definitely increased over the past few years with the explosion of ibiza-innervisions-bro-tech-house and them pushing all this PC music and queer experimental shit (that few people on the site actually care about..) super hard. Speaking of that, DJ mag has been pushing the Black Madonna (mediocre DJ that perpetually cans overplayed crowd pleasing hits) so hard in some kind of attempt to appear underground and progressive it's hilarious.

I saw the Black Madonna at EZoo this year due to the hype, and it had to be one of the worst sets I've ever seen. She poorly mixed acid techno classics i.e. Acid Eiffel, and then played that Molly/Percocet rap song. Constant trainwrecks, I walked out after a half hour since I couldn't take it anymore... I think I went to see "Brohug" instead, who at least were mixing OK even if their music wasn't too great.

Yeah...I agree. She’s average at most. Shanti Celeste, Aurora Halal, Helena Haufff...just a few women to cite that are much better then her, imo.

Not gonna lie thought, RA lists used to be something that I liked to check because I knew there would be some unknown “credible” names in there at least. Without the list, I’m not sure how these new names are going to break through. Let’s hope for the best.

LOL WTF

I am very surprised by this and their reason is just a convenient excuse imo. I'm almost certain it was more because of headaches/politics involved in running a poll and it just became annoying. Clickbait/cheating high up there too.

I miss not doing the TA poll but I do not miss auditing/policing the thing.

damn it, just when i thought lee foss was about to catch his big break, this happens.

thank god. The list was a giant snooze fest. I used to like dixon as much as the next guy but he is practically so boring at this point that any list with him as the top dj isnt worth reading.
