DJ Mag’s annual competition to crown the best DJ has just taken place as usual at AMF (Amsterdam Music Festival). This unusual year means for a virtual event and likely a different top 100 lineup.
Many artists and industry individuals speak out against the DJ Mag Top 100 as it can be viewed as a simple popularity contest, driven by fan votes. which ultimately does not accurately represent the top 100 DJs. Many have boycotted it, however, it is something that can be used as a marketing tool, especially throughout Asia.
Over the past several years, there has been a main collective of artists throughout the top results. Martin Garrix, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Armin van Buuren and David Guetta are consistently at the top end of the 100.
