The music is more interested in sound FX & 3 minute breakdowns than a real stick to your brain groove. Techno is so dead that netlabels can't even give the track away. Most labels are so broke that artists are beginning to get smart and instead of superstar DJ getting paid $5K a gig to play your record you released for free on a broke ass label, artists are finding it's not so bad working a dayjob and making music on weekends for a blog. I mean if you have a computer you have a recording studio it would have cost you thousands of dollars put together. This being said I've seen the videos and feeds from some of those top 20 dj's in the list. I agree it is a waste of time to bitch n moan about lists like this, even though I just bitched and moaned. All that matters is what the people come out and support. More power to them, they seem to love the guys on the list. Cant stop progress.

Second of all - I think it's a complete waste to debate here about the list being wrong / right. One can't base House VS Trance or Hip Hop VS Psy Trance etc., they are all different genres and can't be argued on. Now, one can't even debate on the inferiority / superiority of the generes or people listening to a specific genre because it's just an individual choice and thus liking. I always feel, any music and every music is good.However, differentiating amongst genres is just plain and simple insanity. People need to understand that this list is just a fancy thing. However, music as a whole will always emerge as a winner. First of all – I second Marc.

Must be, here in Europe we laugh at Americans... Americans dont know NOTHING about trance, techno, house etc music Why do you think American dj's are almost never in Europe? Because 19 out of 20 are a joke.... Americans can build cars, planes, buildings etc But what they cant is mixing music. Markus Schulz, John Digweed are 10% the dj Tiesto or Armin is... Americans go to youtube and see Tiesto, they base their comment on some videos. The best dj's come from Germany, Holland, England, France and Italy, period. if you dont know squad you call their music ''commercial''. But being commercial means that you are one of the best. Because becoming famous and a succesfull dj is EXTREEMLY hard. So only the best can make a living as DJ. So stop your whining, the list is absolutely perfect! You guys from America or something?
