Just over a week into 2018 and we still have some year-end lists for 2017 trickling in… While many music streaming platforms and media outlets have named their top DJs and artists of the year, 1001Tracklists has a very different way of calculating its Top 101 Producers Of 2017!
1001Tracklists is the world’s leading tracklist database of DJ mixes, radio shows, and live sets from clubs and festivals around the world. Its very nature, to keep a record of tracklist specifics, gives 1001Tracklists the edge on calculating which songs and producers were supported the most.
While spotting Skrillex behind the decks was a rarity in 2017, he was at all the industry’s leading events and festivals in spirit. He tops the 1001Tracklists list as the #1 producer with a total of 1,463 unique DJ supports. His Howsla release “Chicken Soup” with Habstrakt and his massive “Humble” remix probably have a lot to do with this. 
Don Diablo, Axwell, Diplo and Hardwell follow behind Skrillex to round out the top 5. Legendary acts like Tiësto, Sebastian Ingrosso, Oliver Heldens, Armin van Buuren, and more also make appearances within the top 20. Martin Garrix, named the #1 DJ in the world by DJ Mag, hits the #18 mark on 1001Tracklists’ top producers list. It was also a big year for BROHUG (who made their debut on the list at #6), CamelPhat, W&W, Chocolate Puma and more.
