The results are in for another year from the most important poll in electronic dance music, and once again they make for fascinating reading. Top 100 DJs provides a snapshot of the popularity of DJs worldwide. Votes come from all around the world, and once they have been verified and counted they create the all-important Top 100 DJs ranking.

DJ Mag received votes from 231 global territories including Samoa, the Falkland Islands, San Marino, Rwanda, Eritrea, Tonga, Svalbard & Jan Mayen, Djibouti, Northern Mariana Islands, and Vatican City. From its humble beginnings as an editorial choice in the magazine in 1993, Top 100 DJs is now truly a global poll that engages millions of electronic dance music fans every year.
Nkosinathi Maphumulo, better known by his stage name Black Coffee, has been a leading pioneer in the Afro-house scene since the sound exploded in the ’00s.
