Ears open: the best DJs in the world who will reach Russia this year

The Internet gives us unlimited possibilities - on the Internet you can find and download tracks from almost any musical artist. However, if you are a true connoisseur of music and quality sound, you know for sure that a live set will never surpass even the highest quality recording.

The exchange rates have been behaving simply disgustingly for the last two years, and now there is a wagon and a small cart with problems with going abroad. Do not be upset: politics and economics are not at all a reason to deny yourself the enchanting pleasure of being in a huge crowd of like-minded people while your favorite DJ plays some unrealistic set list.

We have prepared for you a list of artists included in the top 100 DJs in the world according to DJ Magazine, who will come to Russia this summer.

This DJ and part-time music producer from Holland performs all over the world and gathers huge stadiums over and over again. Five times in a row, he took first place in the same top 100 ranking.

He is the 4th trance artist ever to be nominated for a Grammy in the Best Dance Recording category for This Is What It Feels Like.

5.W&W

At the end of 2015, W&W ranked 14th in the Top 100 DJ Magazine ranking, but this does not prevent Dutch musicians Willem van Hanegem and Ward van der Harst from bringing visitors to many festivals to ecstasy. Ward and Willem met at Trance Energy in 2007 and a few months later wrote their first Mustang track. The duo was brought to the attention of Armin van Buuren, who helped with the promotion by staging their work on the A State of Trance show and at his own performances. As a result, W&W were signed to the Armada Music label. By 2011, W&W released their first album, Impact.
