The world's No. 1 DJ gets named on 6 October, in the room that just became the world's No. 1 club

What happens on 6 October

DJ Mag reveals its Top 100 DJs 2026 on Tuesday 6 October 2026, live from [UNVRS] in Ibiza — the second year running the awards have been held there. The No. 1 is revealed on stage and then plays. Lost Frequencies, Charlotte de Witte, GORDO, Vintage Culture, ANASTAZJA and Korolova are on the bill. Alongside the main list, the night names the world's No. 1 Trance, Hard, Techno and House DJs and the No. 1 DJ Group, plus Highest New Entry, Highest Climber, Future Star and Outstanding Contribution.

For context on what a win is worth: David Guetta took his fifth Top 100 DJs title in 2025. The full list is DJ Mag's own poll and their product — we'll link it rather than reprint it.

The venue is already the story

[UNVRS] is not just the host. On the same organisation's Top 100 Clubs 2026 list, published in April, it entered straight at No. 1 — the first club to go straight to the top since the poll began in 2006. It is The Night League's conversion of the old Ku Club and Privilege site into a 10,000-capacity room. So on 6 October the world's No. 1 DJ gets named inside the world's No. 1 club, which has happened before but not with a venue this new.

Hong Kong is on that club list, and both entries went up

This is the part worth holding on to while everyone watches Ibiza. Two Hong Kong clubs made Top 100 Clubs 2026, and neither stood still: Boomerang at 32, up eight places, capacity 650, in the middle of Lan Kwai Fong — its fifth consecutive year on the list — and Space Club at 69, up twenty-three, also in Lan Kwai Fong, on a Funktion-One system. Two clubs a few minutes' walk apart, both climbing in the same year.

A club poll measures who turned out to vote as much as who turned out to dance. But a twenty-three-place climb is not noise, and it happened on a street you can walk down tonight.

The results, once they land

This section is written and fact-checked within hours of the announcement on 6 October. It will cover who won and by how much, who moved most, and where Asian DJs placed. Until then the slots below are deliberately empty rather than guessed — we don't publish a number we can't source.

Who won

To be filled on 6 October 2026, with the source and the time it was read.

Who moved

To be filled on 6 October 2026 — Highest Climber, Highest New Entry, and anyone who fell out of the hundred.

Where Asian DJs placed

To be filled on 6 October 2026, with each placing attributed to the published list.

Which of them you can actually see here this season

A ranking is only interesting locally if the names on it come through. Confirmed and dated so far: Above & Beyond return to Hong Kong in November 2026; Verknipt runs at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal on 2 October; and Mall Grab, Skin On Skin, Effy and Osmosis Jones play on Sunday 29 November. Where any of these land on the 2026 list is a question only answerable after 6 October — which is exactly why this page gets updated rather than replaced.

Why we report the poll instead of running our own

Mandos Mag covers the global lists and does not publish a ranking of Hong Kong venues or Hong Kong DJs. Partly because DJ Mag's poll is their work and copying it would make this a knock-off. Mostly because ranking the people we book, and who book each other, would manufacture a conflict that helps nobody. Local DJs get listed, never placed.
