Last night it was that night again. During the annual event at Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) the most popular DJ of this moment gets announced and it surely is something to talk about. But which artists from the harder styles are featured on the list?

Since the festival season started, we almost got blown away by the ‘Vote Now’ campaigns by DJ’s who were aiming for a high score in the Top 100. Although a lot of EDM artists are parading on this list, we are happily seeing hardstyle and hardcore DJ’s popping up on the ranking as well. And this was also the case for this year.

These are the hard dance DJ’s in the DJ Mag Top 100 2018

Headhunterz has received the most votes of all hard dance artists: with his 28th position, he has been elected as ‘Highest Hard DJ’. Followed by Angerfist, who ended one place behind him. After that there’s a big gap, but the 65th position by Miss K8 is quite impressive.

Compared to last year, Radical Redemption has dropped 25 places and ended up 69th in the ranking. Brennan Heart follows with his 70th position and the gentlemen from Da Tweekaz came in 76th. Wildstylez didn’t make the cut for the last 4 years, but is now back in the Top 100 on position 85.
