Kaskade on DJ Mag Top 100 Poll: 'Who Cares? I Do Not Care'

Kaskade on DJ Mag Top 100 Poll: "Who Cares? I Do Not Care"

By Kat Bein Fri., Oct. 19 2012 at 2:30 PM

The DJ Mag Top 100 comes out today. But pretty much no one cares.

Like, it's just an excuse for the machine to rip off more commercial consumers and demand bigger dollars for their predictable set performances, bro. These are producers. They're not even DJs.

You know who lives above that Top 100 nonsense? Kaskade. He knows what's real, what matters, and he totally took to his Tumblr page This Is a Dynasty to tell those corporate hacks to go kick rocks.

The Chicago house producer and rainbow-butterfly enthusiast has had enough of the hype machine. And though he's thankful for fan support assuring his fair placement on the list, he honestly gives no shits.

"I really need everyone to understand this: I do not care," he wrote.

But he's quick to mention how that doesn't mean he scoffs at fan approval. He just thinks it means more that his fans can sell out an arena for him. He doesn't mind if they can't take the time to click a stupid button.

Plus, he thinks the whole thing is a sham.

"While the integrity of the voting process has never actually been solid, the bigger and somewhat embarrassing question is, does EDM actually need a Prom King or Homecoming Queen?" he wrote. "I didn't jockey for the title in High School, and I'm not doing it now."

Damn, y'all just got told by a kandi kid. PLUR, modafuckaaas.

a kandi kid?ryan is no kandi kid you ignorant child. kaskade sold kandi at the freaks of nature tour. that is pretty sacrilegious. kandi is never to be sold. he is pretty oblivious to the scene. he also caused a riot in la after trying to do a free show. ryan needs to step his game up...

Imagine if Pearl Jam had been put on the cover of Tiger Beat in 1991, without their permission. Now imagine if Pearl Jam was terrible back then too. That's Kaskade.

He doesn't care because he is never at the top. Sorry, but this is a fan-voted list, and it DOES matter. I am glad to see Armin back at the top. Being at the top, or even in the top 100, does open up doors. It is THE list. If Kaskade doesn't care, maybe he should... might help his chances of appearing in the top 10.
