Speaking about Top 100 DJs: The World’s Biggest Music Poll, DJ Mag’s head of video, and the film’s director Liam Smith, said, “Although the project started as a way of celebrating the Top 100 DJs’ 30th anniversary, it quickly became an insight into dance music history, looking into how electronic music has evolved over the last three decades alongside the poll.”
DJ Mag’s Operations Director, Simon Kelly, added, “Since evolving from an editorially curated list to celebrate the 100th edition DJ Mag, Top 100 DJs has grown exponentially over three decades and now acts as a definitive global snapshot of the popularity of DJs worldwide.
“To mark the 30th anniversary of Top 100 DJs, we wanted to capture this trajectory — in an honest and open way — alongside the sounds, scenes and artists the poll has reflected along the way. The team have worked tirelessly to bring this — our first long-form DJ Mag Original documentary — to fruition and we’re incredibly excited to put this out into the world.”
