With the DJ Mag voting going on, DJs and producers are paying loads of money into online promotions and marketing tactics to garner more votes for the poll.
World’s No1, Hardwell & fellow Revealed artist Dannic recently took to twitter to hit out at a certain group’s tactics to get an improved position in the listing.
DJ's with iPad promo teams begging for dj mag votes in the streets, really? Let the music do the talking!

If you're voting for your fav dj, don't vote because someone in the streets with an iPad askes you to…

We’re pretty sure the Revealed duo were hitting out at fellow DJs Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike who have been using this technique by sending out street teams to gather more votes.
Here’s an extract from a fan’s email to YourEDM
“On Saturday afternoon, my friends and I were sitting in the food tables when we were approached by a woman who said she works for Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. She was carrying multiple iPads with her and asked us to vote for them for the DJ Mag 100 list. When I politely told her that I purposely planned on voting once I returned home (I know I’m actually voting), she seemed agitated and began to lecture me on how the Belgian group need to be ranked number 1. I replied by saying that although I am very familiar with the duo, I do not want to vote for an artist that I personally have never seen perform live before. She began to understand where I was coming from now and moved on to pester the next group.”
This fight’s getting ugly…
