Armin van Buuren has been voted The World’s No. 1 Trance DJ in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs 2025. Perhaps the biggest surprise for Armin fans this year was the DJ/producer’s experiment with techno, including his reimagining of D-Shake’s 1990 classic ‘Techno Trance’, made alongside Adam Beyer. “I loved working with Adam Beyer,” Armin said, speaking to DJ Mag. “More than anything, this track shows the synergy between our two genres, and how crossing over between them can be more than the sum of its parts.” Armin also released his ninth album, ‘Breathe’, in the summer, and ‘A State Of Trance Ibiza 2025’. “For my mix albums, I pick tracks from a very long list of recent fan favourites, unreleased label signings, personal favourites from the radio show, and tunes that got an amazing response at my shows,” he said. van Buuren was also the recipient of the Outstanding Contribution award in this year's Top 100 DJs poll. The results of the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs 2025 were revealed on Tuesday 30th September at our awards show at [UNVRS] Ibiza. Alongside a headline performance from the newly crowned World’s No.1 DJ, David Guetta, the event featured performances from a line-up of top-tier talent and rising stars, including Armin van Buuren, Boris Brejcha, Indira Paganotto, Jazzy and Miss Monique. New for Top 100 DJs 2025, DJ Mag partnered with Bridges for Music to launch a dedicated fundraising campaign aimed at empowering young people through music. 2024 Top 100 DJs winner Martin Garrix kicked off our fundraising campaign with a donation of £34,000 to Bridges for Music — enough to sponsor the music education of 34 students for 12 months. Attendees were also given the option to make a donation to Bridges for Music when purchasing tickets to the Top 100 DJs Awards party.
