Meanwhile, topping the list is none other than Belgian duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike who dethroned Hardwell as the No. 1 DJs in the world.
Hardwell was placed second followed by Martin Garrix, Armin van Buuren and Tiesto completing the Top 5.
“It really hasn’t properly sunk in yet. We just can’t believe it” the duo (Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike) told DJ Mag in the official first interview.
DVLM’s success comes following their highly aggressive marketing strategy, which saw them employ a team at Tomorrowland, who went from person to person asking them to vote for the duo.
Several new DJs made the list this year, including KSHMR, Major Lazer, Disclosure and Will Sparks. Drum and Bass also saw its inception onto the list, with newcomers Andy C and Netsky joining the ranks.
The results of the annual ranking were revealed at Amsterdam Dance Event, followed by a performance from the winners.
