It seems to happen every year… so to be honest we can’t be entirely sure this is the 100% bonafide list for 2008. If it’s a hoax, someone sure has a lot of time on their hands. Regardless of its accuracy, forums and message boards the world over are abuzz with the leak of this year’s DJ Mag Top 100 list, which comes days ahead of the official results party at Ministry of Sound nightclub in London on Wednesday October 29th.
Uplifting trance has once again stamped its dominance over the world’s largest annual barometer of who’s hot and who’s not in the global club scene, with the top four all known to push the ‘hands in the air’ styles. On the leaked list Armin van Buuren ranks at #1 for his second successive year, with Tiesto, Paul van Dyk and Above & Beyond following closely, while French house luminary David Guetta rounds out the top five. Flying the flag for Australia, Dirty South ranks at #74, moving up from #98 in 2007. Go Aussie, go!
Check out the full list of 1-100 below. We’ll bring you an update after the official announcement later this week to confirm its accuracy! Also be sure to check out our Snap! featured gallery with the DJs who feature 1-20.

TheTom says...
I dont believe it...mainly coz Deadmau5 will be even higher than he appears here.
ohhaidere says...
I don't see any DJ Duke Doom on there. Must be pretty inaccurate.
trancejunkii says...
HANDS IN THE AIR!!!! oh yeh ;)
l1oyd says...
Wow how many of these guys and girls have and will play here in Aus over the next few months!!
GrEnNo says...
still dont understand how paul oakenfold is still up there seeing he does not really DJ anymore, only probably a couple of times a year.
avatar_karma says...
i don't believe it i doubt david guetta would be so highly ranked.
hillyj77 says...
over in the UK guetta is massive. playing at the same time as ferry corsten his tent was overflowing. was pumping out some pretty good house too.
Weqster says...
Guetta has a massive weekly radio show; f*ck me im famous. U will find that most of the top 20 have radio shows. Cause all this really is, is a populatirty content, right? Not a real technical contest is it.
original21 says...
lol... house is dead!
dempsey_2002 says...
this list is a joke. #38 daft punk and maybe i'd accept the top ten if it was 1999
majj says...
every david guetta set i've heard has been insane
lfitz says...
dempsey_2002 ....Daft Punk has actually climbed about 30 positions from last year and this is probably due to their recent tours helping people remember that they are still alive. Maybe that’s why they called it the alive tour. Hands go up to Deadmau5 who has stormed in this year to number 11, he wasn’t even listed last year. Here is the top 100-150 101. Hybrid 102. Robbie Rivera 103. Sebastian Ingrosso 104. Yoji Biomehanika 105. John Dahlbäck 106. Lisa Pin-Up 107. Valentino Kanzyani 108. John 00 Fleming 109. Luciano 110. Christopher Lawrence 111. John Graham 112. BT 113. Laurent Garnier 114. Westbam 115. Super8
The3rdPlumpDj says...
yep... its pop... just like the top 40 charts... whatever is popular is going to rank the highest... but that doesnt always make it good... myself, i like the underground shit... there would be like a hand full there that i would actually rate. it is a pretty useless chart really...
nickgalea says...
i got a msg from matt darey's website thanking his supporters for their votes as darey had hit #34. soo i think it is the right list
lapapillon says...
why is david guetta so highly ranked?better than oakenfold
Callmefish says...
I saw David guetta in Mauritius a couple of years ago and it was massive and insane, after he played everyone thought the DJ after was average just cause we had been on after Guetta. Daft punk at 38 is a bit dodge i think
lapapillon says...
AVB is still going very strong and probably getting stronger..wont be surprised if this is the list!
brenly says...
agree with you grenno. and gabriel
lfitz says...
They cut the rest of my post off......... 115. Super8
orangesmoothie says...
armin armin armin!
qantasq says...
FERRY CORSTEN..can't wait for summadayze n after party the night will be rocking!!!
Molecular00 says...
3rd Plump Dj, don't go pretending 'hands in the air breaks' is any more underground than 'hands in the air trance'
fazzolari says...
what a joke how is james zabiela not in the top 5
jeskey says...
i wouldnt let bob sinclair dj at my local let alone anywhere else... what a joke... chemical brothers should be about 80-90 spots higher... also where are steve angello and sebastian ingrosso?
tribe_of_dan says...
A farce as usual
bobshled says...
Looks like they were right...
jdymen says...
Holland top 3....sounds like a scam to me... Im surprised Bob Sinclair made it!! hahaha...the love generation!! what a great Dj!!!...should be close to Aqua with Barbie Girl and Kernkraft (Zombie Nation) WAY BETTER THAN CHEMICAL BROTHRS O FAT BOY SLIM!!! This is Bull@#it
