Eric Prydz wins Reddit’s Top 100 DJs Poll
By now everyone knows that the DJ Mag Top 100 is nothing more than a circus sideshow of gross marketing strategies and deceptive tactics. The list has always been skewed and criticized for being a popularity contest, but the whole thing came to a head this year when Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike took the #1 spot.
In response, the good folks over at Reddit took matters into their own hands and surveyed a whole host of dance music based subreddits to settle on a more accurate representation of who should be dubbed a Top 100 DJ.
While the list below is far from perfect, the amended version highlights a much wider scope of talent than the EDM-focused DJ Mag list. Surprisingly enough Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike still make an appearance — but at a more appropriate position in the number 47 spot. Eric Prydz and Porter Robinson land at #1 and #2 respectively with the uber-popular wunderkind, Martin Garrix planted firmly at #3.
