Justification-
Seems to be to electronic music what Pitchfork is to indie. Among the journalists polled in the above lists were Michaelangelo Matos & Philip Sherburne (consequently, a Pitchfork contributor), so I definitely think it's credible enough to be included on AM.

From their website:
"Resident Advisor (RA) is a 100% independent online magazine devoted to dance music and club culture. Each month over 400,000 people across the globe visit the site to read the latest news, reviews and interviews, download podcasts, and contribute to the world's largest and most reliable source of club and event listings.
Established in Sydney in 2000, RA has since expanded beyond its aussie roots and now has staff in various continents across the globe.
RA is proud of its international character; its many writers, photographers and coordinators hail from New York, London, Berlin, Sydney, Paris, Barcelona, Melbourne, Miami, Chicago, Ibiza, Amsterdam, Hong Kong and Tokyo."
