Indira Paganotto voted The World's No. 1 Psy DJ in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs poll 2026

The results of this year’s Top 100 DJs poll were announced at [UNVRS] Ibiza on 6th October.

Kicking off 2026 on a high with her debut album, ‘Arte Como Amante’, Indira Paganotto has only continued to ascend from there, as reflected in her rise up the Top 100 DJs ranking.

Her signature psy-techno music has become so prominent that Beatport even launched a new category for the sound. Indira herself has been all over the world, holding down residencies at Hï Ibiza and Space Miami, and playing festivals like Awakenings, EDC Las Vegas, and Tomorrowland.

At the latter, she debuted a new “psy-metal” track on the Mainstage with Harald Barrett, the guitarist for the Swedish metalcore band Imminence. Paganotto also hosted a stage with her ARTCORE brand — something she also did, amongst other events, at Starlight Festival in front of the Great Pyramids of Giza.

The results of the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs 2026 were revealed on Tuesday 6th October as part of the DJ Mag LIVE event at [UNVRS] Ibiza.

Alongside a headline performance from David Guetta, who claimed The World’s No. 1 DJ title for a record-breaking sixth time, the night also featured sets from Lost Frequencies, Charlotte de Witte, GORDO b2b Vintage Culture, ANYMA, ANASTAZJA and Korolova.

Returning for Top 100 DJs 2026, DJ Mag partnered with Bridges for Music to launch a dedicated fundraising campaign aimed at empowering young people through music.

Every artist in the 2026 poll was invited to celebrate their inclusion by sponsoring the education of at least one young person from an under-served community at the Bridges for Music Academy in Langa, South Africa.

The initiative followed last year’s fundraiser, which saw 42 artists from the Top 100 DJs donate a combined £170,832, making it the largest single fundraising campaign in Bridges for Music’s history.
