DJ L
| NEW ENTRY

With dance music’s ever-increasing popularity across East Asia, votes for artists from across the region continue to pour in thick and fast. And as a result, we’re happy to welcome China’s ChengLong (Leon) Zhou, aka DJ L, who makes his first appearance in the Top 100 DJs poll this year. 2017 has seen DJ L release a slew of new music, including ‘Kraken’ with AvAlance & Flash Finger, ‘Pow Pow’, and his collab with AVYANNA ‘Follow Me (MYST Version)’ — with the latter two dropping via major label, Sony Music.

“This year is super-busy, but meaningful,” explains DJ L. As musical director at Shanghai’s 2000-capacity MYST club — which landed 44th in this year’s Top 100 Clubs poll — DJ L is naturally well-loved by his home crowd, and this year he’s been spreading his name far and wide with a world tour, taking his combination of trap, bass and big room to new ears, and as such, new possible fans. Will DJ L look back on 2017 as the year he began a long, successful run in the Top 100 DJs poll? Will he become China’s finest EDM export? Only time will tell…
