Top 100 DJs 2025 voting is now open

Voting is now open for DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs, in aid of Bridges for Music. You can cast your vote before the poll closes on 10th September 2025 at top100djsvote.djmag.com.

Now in its 32nd year, Top 100 DJs started life in 1993 as an editorially-curated list of 100 DJs to celebrate the 100th edition of DJ Magazine. Since then, Top 100 DJs has grown into the world’s largest publicly voted music poll and a key global snapshot of the world’s most popular electronic dance music artists.

With no nominations or entry criteria, Top 100 DJs is a fully open poll. Voters are simply asked to choose their top five DJs, regardless of whether they have five followers or five million.

In 2024, Martin Garrix topped the Top 100 DJs poll for a fifth time, jumping ahead of 2023 winner David Guetta and drawing level with trance icon Armin van Buuren for the highest number of Top 100 DJs wins.

The results were unveiled live from AMF 2024 — at Amsterdam’s Johan Cruyff ArenA – followed by exclusive performances from Armin van Buuren, Green Velvet, Indira Paganotto and winner Martin Garrix.

New for Top 100 DJs 2025, DJ Mag has partnered with Bridges for Music to launch a dedicated fundraising campaign aimed at empowering young people through music. The initiative seeks to leverage the global platform and visibility of the world’s biggest music poll to create lasting social impact.

Funds raised will provide scholarships for young people from underrepresented communities to enrol in Bridges for Music’s programs in either music production or DJing. All of Bridges for Music’s programs include mental health support through mindfulness and counselling activities, as well as covering the basic needs of the students.

More information on fundraising campaigns will be released during the voting and results periods, but donations can be made here.

Results of the Top 100 DJs 2025 poll will be announced later this year, with information on the awards show to be revealed shortly.

Vote now at top100djsvote.djmag.com. Voting is open now until 23:59 BST on 10th September 2025.

Spotify’s outlet For the Record profiled Rezz, calling her “one of the most highly regarded producers of downtempo soundscapes”, and saying she “strikes a firm balance between minimal original tech compositions and the all-heavy bass.
