DJ Mag named their Top 100 DJs of 2017, and as per usual the results have people divided.
Dutch wunderkind Martin Garrix took out the top spot for the second year running, with mainstage stars like Armin van Buuren and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike rounding out the top three.
As usual, the poll offered a few questionable moments: Porter Robinson only just scraped in at #96, Flume landed at #87 despite the fact he prefers to play live over DJing, and revered selectors like Nina Kraviz and Tiga failed to make the cut at all.
Since the results were revealed, a stack of DJs and producers have voiced their disdain for the poll over social media, even artists that were included in the ranking. Mad Decent head Diplo came in a #25, but he didn’t seem to care that much, tweeting: “only 75 spots til I’m finally off this list let’s go further next year.”
