Next month sees the return of Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE). The 5 day series of club nights, panels, exhibits and networking events runs in the Dutch city from 19th-23rd October. The list of events is nothing short of immense, so we’ve selected five key events – one for each day – that you should build your calendar around.

We are proud and excited to announce that trance legend, Armin Van Buuren, will play at this year’s Top 100 DJs party in London.

The eagerly-anticipated event, which takes place at 02 Academy Brixton on Saturday 22nd October, is the UK’s exclusive Top 100 DJs show.

Armin Van Buuren is the most successful DJ ever to grace the Top 100 DJs poll, with a record five No.1 positions. He is the current No.1 Trance DJ worldwide, and his label Armada is one of electronic music’s most prolific, and respected imprints.

WIth DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs voting now well underway our attention turns to our Top 100 DJs party in London on Saturday 22nd October.

While we're not unveiling the mammoth line-up just yet for what will be the UK’s largest indoor showcase of electronic music at London’s Brixton Academy.

Ahead of the voting launch, we summarise this year’s big talking points...

Can Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike win again?

With the votes rolling-in for DJ Mag’s annual Top 100 DJs in their thousands — we’re really excited to announce the first phase line-up for our huge Top 100 DJs party at London’s Brixton Academy on Saturday 22nd October.

Confirmed to play — in what is the biggest indoor celebration of dance music in the UK — will be Ferry Corsten: Presenting Gouryella, Markus Schulz and Marlo.

Whether industry hack, diehard dance fan or something in between, there's little doubt that Amsterdam Dance Event is a must-do. Kicking off every October in the pristine Dutch capital, ADE celebrated its 20^th year in 2015, touting their biggest and best programme yet. 

Enigmatic producer KSHMR has taken the electronic music space by storm over the last twelve months.

Following a string of Beatport No.1 singles, the LA-based producer shot to No.23 in 2015’s Top 100 DJs Poll, powered by 7UP!

As the highest new entry in the poll KSHMR was awarded with the Next UP Award - a fitting end to a phenomenal year.

As you can see, it's peppered with a fair few who have dropped out from 2014, a number of newcomers, and stalwarts who never campaign such as Sasha and Fatboy Slim whose enduring popularity is never in any doubt...
