DJ MAG Top 100 List 2013
The DJ Mag Top 100 DJs Poll has a new winner, Hardwell. The Dutch DJ/producer has replaced five-times winner Armin Van Buuren and been crowned the world’s No.1 DJ for the first time, making him the youngest ever winner at only 25 years of age. Hardwell received the award at the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs Poll Awards party presented by legendary producer, Giorgio Moroder, held for the third consecutive year during the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE). The show took place at Amsterdam’s RAI venue as part of the Amsterdam Music Festival, an initiative of ALDA events and ID&T.
In the Poll’s 20th year, the Dutch superstar, Tiësto, has been awarded the inaugural Top 100 DJs Legend Award brought to you by KLM, carrier of the world’s best DJs. KLM recognises that Dutch music pioneers including Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Hardwell, Nicky Romero, Sunnery James and Ryan Marciano, plus promoters like ID&T and labels like Armada, have flown around the world multiple times, setting international standards within the electronic music scene. As a big supporter of the pioneering Dutch spirit and a carrier of ‘Dutch pride’, presenting a historical award like this was a natural fit to KLM, particularly as the awards are in the company’s hometown and that 2013 is the 25th anniversary of the Dutch dance music industry.
