Yes, I get the impression it is slightly in that direction also.

I didn't really specify if the poll was for all time or for 2003, so its kinda half half. A nice combination of both IMO, I cannot see Gabriel & Dresden scoring that high on an 'of all time' poll, and likewise I cannot see Ferry scoring that high on a 2003 only poll.

Thanks for taking the time to do this m8, interesting results to say the least.

Looks to be based more on popularity more than actual production talent, but that's to be expected. I'm just shocked to see L-Vee at 5th, I honestly thought he would be Top 2 with MIKE.

Imo l-vee only has 3-4 good tracks

sasha #11 and pvd #2? lol. and people thought that the DJ Poll of DJMag was bad this is all trance and some prog, not representative of edm at all. whoever says airbase is one of the top50 edm producers of all time must be on crack (or on trance.nu for way too much)
