Another year of voting is complete on the incredibly strict Resident Advisor DJs-of-the-year poll, which famously acts as a more underground response to DJ Mag’s overblown “Top 100 DJs” list released every year (whose top three this year included Hardwell, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, and Armin Van Buuren).
The voting on RA’s poll is limited to a window of just three days – which this year landed on some of the busiest days of the year for those of us living in the United States – November 25th – 28th. You have to have been a member of the site prior to the voting period, in an attempt to quell any attempts to cheat by creating fake accounts and votes.
Here’s RA’s Top 10:
- Dixon (second year at #1 slot)
- Tale Of Us (second year at #2 slot)
- Âme
- Seth Troxler
- Maceo Plex
- Ben Klock
- Ben UFO
- Mano Le Tough
- Rødhåd
- Ricardo Villalobos
The poll (and RA’s site) always swings more heavily-oriented towards European artists and genres – and this lineup is no exception. Who do you think deserved to be in the top 10 who missed out? Let us know in the comments.
