Top DJs in the World in 2022

top_100_djs_world

The prestigious dance music magazine Dj Mag has been publishing the list of the best DJs in the world since 1997, based on the votes of its users. Among the winners of the past years are famous DJs like Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren and David Guetta.

This year, electronic music lovers have once again chosen the 100 best DJs on the planet. And for the second consecutive year, David Guetta has been crowned as the best DJ in the world.

This is the third time that the French DJ has reached the highest position in the Top 100, and it turns out to be exactly ten years after his first time as number 1 DJ.

That way, David Guetta enters the group who have managed to reach number 1 for the third time, along with Tiesto and Martin Garrix. Behind them are other famous DJs such as Carl Cox, Paul Oakenfold, Paul Van Dyk, Hardwell or Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike with two number ones.

Ahead of this select club of those who have been recognised on three occasions only Armin van Buuren was chosen five times as the best DJ on the planet, and is the only one to achieve it for 4 years in a row (from 2007 to 2010).

Best DJs in 2022

Of course, to get to the top there has to be a beginning. Starting a career as a DJ is not easy, but with the right skills you can succeed.

10. Steve Aoki

Although many consider him to be an Asian DJ, Steven Hiroyuki Aoki (better known as Steve Aoki), is an American DJ and producer.

He has been the headliner several times at Tomorrowland, which demonstrates the worldwide reputation he has.

In 2020 he released Neon Future IV, and promises to fill venues around the world with his signature electronic music.

9. Timmy Trumpet

Timothy Jude Smith, better known as Timmy Trumpet is an Australian DJ who gained fame for coming to his shows accompanied by a trumpet that he plays beautifully.

This DJ’s rise to fame was slow but worth it. Timmy Trumpet fell into the world of electronic music by chance, and eventually became known worldwide.

8. Oliver Heldens

Oliver Heldens is one of the main icons of Tech House and Future House. This genre created some controversy amongst many purist DJs, although he is currently producing under the alias “HI-LO”.

In 2014, he started to enter in the Top 100 best DJs list at number 34. From there, the Dutch DJ gained popularity, reaching number 8 this year.

7. Don Diablo

Don Pepijn Schipper, better known as Don Diablo, is a producer with one of the most impressive careers in the electronic music industry.

Before making the Top 10 DJ list, in 2016, Beatport ranked him as the leading Future House artist of the year.

6. Afrojack

The last Dutchman on the list is named Nick van de Wall, but is better known as Afrojack. In 2006, he became famous as an international DJ and is now considered one of the great references of the genre, collaborating with artists such as David Guetta, Steve Aoki and Pitbull, as well as the rapper Kid Cudi.

5. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike

The Belgian duo, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, are one of the most beloved DJs/producers in the electronic music scene. This is the first time they have dropped out of the top 3 of the best DJs in the last eight years, reflecting the high standard they continue to deliver at festivals around the world.

4. Alok

The Brazilian artist stood out in 2020, so it is not a surprise to see him in fourth position in the DJ rankings. Best known for his songs: Hear Me Now and Piece Of Your Heart (Alok Remix).

He is also the second electronic artist with the most followers on Instagram, one of the keys to promote your music online.

3. Armin van Buuren

The third position of the podium is occupied by a 42 year-old Dutchman, with great fame and high renown. This is Armin Van Buuren, considered the best DJ producer by several magazines in the world.

In the years 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012 he managed to rank as the number one DJ worldwide.

2. Martin Garrix

Although his original name is Martijn Gerard Garritsen, everyone knows him as Martin Garrix.

Many might ask, how did Martin Garrix get to where he is? Well, the famous DJ studied at the Herman Brood Academy, a music production school in Utrecht, where he developed the knowledge that took him to the top of the DJ world. It was therefore indisputable that he should feature in this list, and that the young creator of Animals has managed to maintain his leadership within this ranking.

In addition, the young dj creator of Animals has managed to maintain his leadership within this ranking.

1. David Guetta

The 52 year-old French EDM DJ needs almost no introduction.

Besides being a record producer, David Guetta makes house-style musical compositions, which he then demos and transforms into albums.

He started DJing in various clubs during the 1980s and 1990s, before releasing the well-known track Just a Little More Love in 2002.
