DJ Mag's global poll also supports music education in Cape Town

DJ Mag reports that its 2026 Top 100 DJs programme includes a fundraising initiative for the Bridges for Music Academy in Langa, Cape Town.

The publication says the previous year's campaign involved 42 artists and raised a combined £170,832.

It is another dimension of the Top 100 conversation: visibility has value, but access to training, equipment and opportunity is equally important to the long-term health of electronic-music communities.
