Since its inception in the early 1990s, the Top 100 DJs poll has gone from strength to strength. Initially dominated by Brits, it's grown into a genuine worldwide snapshot of the most popular DJs on the planet. It's become a career-defining moment for many DJs to be included in the poll, signalling to the world that they've made it.

Last year, voting increased from 217,000 to 345,000 votes, with the third largest voting contingent coming from nascent clubbing destination China, after the US and the UK, with Germany and Russia close behind. And we had a brand new ruler, too, in the form of adventurous trancer Armin van Buuren, who clinched the coveted No.1 position.

Being voted No.1 was a dream that came true," said Armin. "If so many people in the world take the time to go online and vote for you it's a great honour".
"Some people say the poll is like comparing apples to oranges, but the dance scene as a whole benefits from it. People talk about the poll and it raises discussion about music, music styles and clubs, which is very healthy for our scene.

Voting opens 1st August and closes 24th September. Head over to djmag.com and make your vote count.
