LONDON - Oct. 21, 2019 - The results for the 2019 edition of the Top 100 DJs Poll are in and the winners have been announced. In a shakeup at the top, Belgian brothers and undoubtedly electronic music's most renowned duo, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike have become the new World's No.1 DJ, taking the place of three-time winner Martin Garrix.
After previously winning the award back in 2015 and becoming the first ever duo to be crowned the World's No.1 DJs, the brothers received their award during Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) at the Top 100 DJs Awards ceremony in association with the Amsterdam Music Festival (AMF).
Speaking about winning the award for a second time Dimitri & Mike said: "Winning this award back in 2015 was incredible, truly mesmerizing, but this time around it means so much more because as artists, as a family, as a scene, we've grown so much and the journey since the last time we were here has taken us onto bigger and bolder projects. Having the fans with us every step of the way is amazing, so to once again be voted by them as their World No.1 DJ's means everything to us!"
Over the last few years the award-winning brothers have left an historical mark on the electronic music scene at large. From their position as ambassadors of Tomorrowland, playing a part in the incredible rise of the Belgian event that saw 400,000 revellers celebrate Tomorrowland's 15 anniversary, to their omnipresent position in music charts and streaming platforms. With an all-Star line-up on one of the biggest songs of the summer, the platinum award winning 'Instagram', with David Guetta and Afro Bros, saw the brothers work with two of the biggest reggaeton names in the world, Daddy Yankee and Natti Natasha and crushing charts worldwide. While previously working with artists like Wiz Khalifa, Gucci Mane, Diplo, Snoop Dogg Martin Garrix and even Hans Zimmer – the brothers collected 4 Billboard Dance #1s amongst countless gold and platinum awards.
The top 5 includes Martin Garrix in second place, David Guetta on third, followed by Armin Van Buren & Marshmello
