How Has Rave Culture Changed?
Every year, EDM fans all over the world vote for their favorite artists in a poll for DJ Mag, which is then released in an annual “Top 100” list. In previous years, the honor has been awarded to big-name artists like Martin Garrix, Hardwell, Tiesto, and Armin Van Buuren, among others. This year, after over a million voters contributed, many of the same artists made the cut, as well as some lesser-known artists who are starting to shake things up in the industry. Check out some of the results below.
No surprise here. Dutch DJ Martin Garrix took the Number 1 spot two years in a row!
Coming in at Number 3 is Trance God Armin Van Buuren!
Afrojack moved up into the Number 8 spot this year.
Marshmello has been a big name recently in the EDM world, so we are not surprised he made Number 10 on the list.
Some other artists in the Top 10 spots include Tiesto, Steve Aoki, David Guetta, and the Chainsmokers. Some of the lesser-known or up-and-coming DJs that made the Top 100 list include KSHMR, Alison Wonderland, Clapton, and Lost Frequencies. Congratulations to all who made the list!
Catch out some of these artists and more at upcoming festivals in the valley, like Goldrush, Kiss FM SSIK Show ft. the Chainsmokers, and Decadence AZ.
