Erol added †I am extremely humbled that people voted for me, but I cannot stress enough that – for me – it is impossible, and yet to a degree quite pointless, to put Dj’s into a list and grade one above another. In this instance I do feel that Datatransmission and Pioneer have done something positive and rather interesting in limiting the voting to just the UK for the duration of a week, as it makes more sense then some of the more mainstream polls.
I have always felt quite uncomfortable with awards and lists in general, whether I have come at the top or bottom of any poll, but I do not wish to underestimate or insult anybody’s vote, for which I am grateful.’
Erol talking about his win:
<3 Erol.
