| DJ Bone criticises DJ Mag Top 100 in China Posted: 05 Dec 2008 02:53 PM CST Criticizing DJ Magazine's annual Top 100 DJs poll has almost become a sport, but Detroit's DJ Bone might cause a few problems for DJ agents targeting China with his recent criticism of the annual list. Ahead of a gig in Shanghai tomorrow night, DJ Bone told shanghaiist.com that the Top 100 was just “popularity contest and less about which DJs are good.” Chinese club promoters, like in most countries in Asia, quite often use the Top 100 poll as a reference guide when choosing who to book and how much to pay international DJs. |

| Posted: 04 Dec 2008 06:13 PM CST As the name might well suggest, Anoraak’s music reserves a geeky sort of penchant for the kitschier sounds of yesteryear. But we live in times where the geek is chic and as such the nonchalant vocals, slap-happy bass-line and squelchy chords on ‘Nightdrive…’ sound more ‘now’ than they ever would have in that love-fest of trash we call the eighties. |
