David Guetta has made Top 100 DJs history, returning to the No.1 position for a record sixth time. DJ Mag announced the results on Wednesday 7 October 2026 during Top 100 DJs LIVE at [UNVRS] in Ibiza, with the 2026 edition attracting a record number of verified votes from 234 territories around the world.

South Africa is represented by three artists in the 2026 Top 100 DJs. Black Coffee climbs three places to No.14, confirming his position among the world’s leading electronic artists. Nora En Pure is ranked No.73, while Shimza enters the ranking at No.75. His debut is part of a wider influx of new names from house and techno, with the South African artist joining a new generation of DJs gaining international recognition through their distinctive approaches to electronic music.

Guetta remains ahead of Martin Garrix, while Anyma climbs seven places to No.3. Brazilian Alok is fourth and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike fifth, with Charlotte de Witte moving up to No.6. The overall results point to a growing presence for house and techno, with 13 new entries and three re-entries across the list. John Summit, Mau P and Chris Stussy share the title of Highest Climber after each gaining 22 positions.

The awards ceremony at [UNVRS] also underlined Ibiza’s role as a meeting point for the international electronic music community. The venue, which opened in 2025, was voted The World’s No.1 Club in its first year of operation in DJ Mag’s Top 100 Clubs. Performances during the evening came from David Guetta, Anyma, Charlotte de Witte, Vintage Culture, GORDO, Korolova and Anastazja.

The category winners include David Guetta as The World’s No.1 DJ, Charlotte de Witte as The World’s No.1 Techno DJ, Indira Paganotto as The World’s No.1 Psy DJ, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike as The World’s No.1 DJ Group, Luciano with the Outstanding Contribution Award and Anastazja as Future Star.

For the second consecutive year, the Top 100 DJs campaign is also linked to a fundraiser supporting Bridges for Music, the South African non-profit and music academy based in Langa. At the time of publication, the initiative had raised £120,000, enough to support the education of 120 students at the Bridges for Music Academy.
