1 Armin Van Buuren  - Finally. Five years after entering the Top 10 of our DJmag Top 100 DJs poll, Armin van Buuren has been crowned the World’s No.1 DJ. 2 Tiësto  - After winning three years in a row before losing his crown to Paul van Dyk last year, Tiësto once again came close to lifting the No.1 title. 3 John Digweed  - John Digweed is well accustomed to long journeys. That’s largely a function of his globetrotting lifestyle of course, something he’s more than happy to talk about when DJmag tracks him down at Dallas airport. 4 Paul Van Dyk   - From the intense production involved in ‘In Between’ — the artist album he’s been perfecting for the last three years — to the high-energy live sets at the world’s biggest dance festivals, it’s been an exceedingly busy year for Paul van Dyk. 5 Sasha  - It’s been a period of change for Sasha. One of the world’s most widely travelled DJs, he cut back on his club activities during the first half of the year to spend more time in his studio in New York. 6 Above & Beyond  - Above & Beyond’s vault from innovative trance trio to globe-trotting DJ superstars is now complete. 7 Carl Cox  - “Over the years, people have got used to labeling me a techno DJ,” reckons Carl Cox. “But I’ve been a drum & bass DJ, a house DJ, a hardcore DJ, a soul DJ — some called me a trance DJ in my F.A.C.T. days. I just try not to be pigeon-holed.” 8 Ferry Corsten  - Architect, pioneer, instigator — refer to him anyway you want. Ferry was unquestionably the man behind 1999’s Great Dutch Trance Breakout, splitting the door wide open with ‘Out Of The Blue’, ‘Carte Blanche’ and ‘Gouryella’. 9 Infected Mushroom  - Just two years after breaking into the Top 100 as one of the highest new entries in history, the boundary busting psy-trance overlords have finally smashed their way into the elusive number. Infected Mushroom — Amit ‘Duvdev’ Duvdevani and Erez Eizen — are Top 10 gunners at last. 10 David Guetta  - Despite spinning from the age of 17 in various Parisian venues and now onto his third artist album, this was nevertheless the year that David Guetta really became a household name in house music.
