Martin Garrix has been named the world's No.1 DJ in DJ Mag's annual Top 100 DJs poll and, at the age of 20, he's the youngest ever recipient of the award!

The Dutch megastar who's currently riding high in the charts with 'In The Name Of Love', his collab with Bebe Rexha, cimbed two places in the publicly-voted poll, knocking last year's poll winners Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike down to No.2.

Garrix was presented with his No.1 trophy by mentor Tiësto at the Top 100 DJs Poll Awards Party in Asterdam's famous Heineken Music Hall, the opening party in this year's AMF, the largest festival of the Amsterdam Fance Event (ADE). 

"It feels unreal to have won," Garrix said of his win, "I 100% did not expect it at all. I've had an amazing year, with awesome shows and amazing fans - I'm so thankful for their support. I didn't even do a campaign, and it just shows how dope the fan base is."

Congrats Martin!

You can make Martin's year even better by voting for him at this year's MTV EMAs. He's nominated for Best Electronic and Best World Stage and you can cast your votes over at MTVEMA.com.

DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs Poll Top 10:

1. Martin Garrix (Up 2)
2. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike (Down 1)
3. Hardwell (Down 1)
4. Armin van Buuren (Non-Mover)
5. Tiësto (Non-Mover)
6. David Guetta (Non-Mover)
7. Steve Aoki (Up 3)
8. Oliver Heldens (Up 4)
9. Skrillex (Non-Mover)
10. Afrojack (Down 2)

Elsewhere in the list, The Chainsmokers' shift in sound sent them catapulting back into the Top 100, re-entering at No.18, while this year's highest new entry goes to the anonymous Marshmello, in at No.28. 

One spot above him at No.27 are this year's highest climbers Swanky Tunes, up 70 places and there's only two female acts in the list this year - Aussie duo NERVO, down 21 places to No.45 and Ukraine's Miss K8 up six to No.88.

The UK’s Top 100 DJs party returns to the O2 Academy Brixton on Saturday 22nd October, presenting the biggest indoor showcase of electronic music in the British capital. Some of the biggest artists in the world will hit the stage at one of London’s premiere venues for a night of explosive dance music.

On the line-up this year includes international Top 100 DJ superstars Armin van Buuren, Gouryella, Markus Schulz, W&W, Marlo, Tenishia, Tom Swoon, and Gavyn Mytchel. They'll be joined by 4500 clubbers in the Academy’s glorious main room from 9pm until late.
