For interesting and compelling performing DJs, the DJ Mag top 100 list is best avoided. The Resident Advisor top 100 list always seems to ring a bit more true, with a passionate global community voting on a top list of “the best” of 2013. It’s a hard poll to rig, with only registered users on RA allowed to participate, and only three days to vote in the poll. That being said, RA tends to stay towards a more house / techno / garage set of performers who are underground – simply as a result of the community that the site caters to – but don’t expect to see too many drum and bass or hardstyle DJs on this list.
To make things interesting, we’re publishing the top ten here, with a recent live set recorded on video, so you can watch the top 10 perform below:
1. Dixon
2. Tale Of Us
3. Richie Hawtin
4. Ben Klock
5. Seth Troxler
6. Maceo Plex
7. Ricardo Villalobos
8. Loco Dice
9. Jamie Jones
10. Ben UFO
