The DJ Mag Original documentary gives an exclusive insight into the world’s biggest music poll, as told by some of electronic music’s best-known artists. Top 100 DJs: The World’s Biggest Music Poll follows the poll from its humble beginnings in the ’90s as a postal vote, through to becoming the global phenomenon it is today.
“To mark the 30th anniversary of Top 100 DJs, we wanted to capture this trajectory — in an honest and open way — alongside the sounds, scenes and artists the poll has reflected along the way. The team have worked tirelessly to bring this — our first long-form DJ Mag Original documentary — to fruition, and we’re incredibly excited to put this out into the world.”
