CHECK OUT THE TOP 25 DJS IN ITM’S SNAP! GALLERY
Much like ITM’s own local DJ roundup Sony inthemix50, the illustrious DJ Mag Top 100 is a fabled event on the dance music calendar, with DJs young and old jostling with each other for chart contention. Keeping with tradition, it would seem as though the results for the annual poll have once again been leaked on the of their scheduled release, sending forums and message boards into a veritable tizzy as trainspotters pour over the (supposedly legit) list of winners.
Comparing this and last year’s Top 10 reveals no massive change in dominance, with heavy-hitters like Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, Paul Van Dyk, Above & Beyond and Ferry Corsten flexing their euphoric trance muscles in some of the top spots. Yet looking closely at the vanguard of the list reveals a few interesting bits, with club maestro Deadmau5 barging up the list to No.6 and David Guetta tracking higher than ever at No.3, clearly losing no sway with the DJ Mag voters despite crossing over into pop territory this year.
Beyond the top 10 we can see plenty of changes happening, with club mainstays Cosmic Gate and Steve Angello having bumper years, both moving up 43 spots on the list. Elsewhere, the Australian influence on the list has grown even stronger with Dirty South climbing another 15 spots and two-time ITM50 champ Tydi debuting at No.52.
Check out the leaked results below – rounded out to a Top 150, no less.
