Tonight, during the DJ Mag Top 100 Awards show, part of Amsterdam Music Festival, the results of the annual popularity poll have been announced. This year, 11 of Armada Music's DJ's have made it into the Top 100. With 5 DJ's in the Top 30 and new talents making a big rise, Armada Music looks back upon a successful year.
After a historic 5-time win, being the most popular DJ, Armin van Buuren returned home with the #2 award this year, positioned as the 'highest trance DJ'. As a sign of his ever-growing popularity, the Dutch DJ/producer and mastermind behind A State of Trance takes in a Top 3 position for 10 years now. At #10, we find Dash Berlin, who's hot off an extensive tour in South-America and the US. Dutch duo W&W, label owners of Mainstage Music, make a remarkable rise from #25 to #14 in 2013. It took the young duo only 3 years to make it into the Top 15. Aly & Fila, the Egyptian trance duo, have lots of reasons to celebrate. Not only did they pass the 300th episode of their Future Sound of Egypt radio show, they also take in the #20 in this year's DJ Mag Top 100. Markus Schulz, voted America's Best DJ for 2012 by DJ Times, takes in the #21 on the DJ Mag Top 100. The highest climber for 2013 is the up and coming Moldovian talent of Andrew Rayel. He rises a staggering 49(!) places, from #77 to #28.Videos
