AMSTERDAM, Oct. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The results
for the 2019 edition of the Top 100 DJs Poll are in and
the winners have been announced. Under the Smash the House
label, electronic music's most renowned duo, Belgian
brothers, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, have become the
new World's No.1 DJ, taking the place of three-time winner
Martin Garrix.
After previously winning the award back in 2015 and becoming the
first ever duo to be crowned the World's No.1 DJs, the
brothers received their award during Amsterdam Dance
Event (ADE) at the Top 100 DJs Awards ceremony in
association with the Amsterdam Music Festival (AMF).
Speaking about winning the award for a second time Dimitri &
Mike said: "Winning this award back in 2015 was
incredible, truly mesmerizing, but this time around it means so
much more because as artists, as a family, as a scene,
we've grown so much and the journey since the last time we
were here has taken us onto bigger and bolder projects. Having
the fans with us every step of the way is amazing, so to once again
be voted by them as their World No.1 DJs means everything to
us!"
Over the last few years the award-winning brothers have left an
historical mark on the electronic music scene at large.
From their position as ambassadors of
Tomorrowland, playing a part in the incredible rise
of the Belgian event that saw
400,000 revellers celebrate Tomorrowland's 15th
anniversary, to their omnipresent position in music charts and
streaming platforms. With an all-Star line-up on one of the biggest
songs of the summer, the platinum award
winning 'Instagram', with David Guetta and Afro
Bros, saw the brothers work with two of the biggest reggaeton names
in the world, Daddy Yankee and Natti
Natasha and crushing charts worldwide. While previously
working with artists like Wiz
Khalifa, Gucci Mane, Diplo, Snoop Dogg, Martin Garrix and
even Hans Zimmer – the brothers
collected 4 Billboard Dance #1s amongst countless gold and platinum
awards.
Throw in setting up their own eSports
organisation, doing the soundtrack and getting an own playable
character in the latest instalment of the Mortal Kombat game
franchise, a mammoth
season at Ushuaïa Ibiza with their Garden
of Madness night, as well as their run of end of
year homecoming arena shows with "Garden of Madness" in
Belgium (that sees 80,000 people join every year),
New York and the UK,
plus one-off shows at the Italian Formula 1, UEFA
Champions League Final and a gargantuan run of continent
hopping tour dates, it's not hard to see what may have encouraged
their worldwide army of fans to back their favourite DJs
this year.
