KI/KI (No.1)
Bringing the absolute heat with her unique blend of trance, acid and techno, KI/KI has taken over the dance scene in the most remarkable of manners, with this year alone cementing her status amongst the elite of her preferred genre and not only. From her scintillating rework of Fatima Yamaha’s 2004 hit, ‘What’s a Girl to Do,’ to collaborating with the legend that is Marlon Hoffstadt on ‘Lost Control,’ and everything in between; her rise to the top has been nothing short of inspirational. Adding to this, she also performed a groundbreaking B2B live set with Armin van Buuren at Amsterdam Music Festival during this year’s ADE, and of course, the duo’s collaboration ‘Put Your Bassline’ was the event’s official anthem.
Charlotte de Witte (No.2)
Arguably one of the most influential figures within our community, Charlotte de Witte enjoyed yet another successful 2025, and she recently topped it with the release of her debut album ‘Charlotte de Witte.’ A body of work that had been a long time coming, the Belgian sensation delivered pure greatness, and each featured track illustrates the endless musical capabilities that she possesses. Moreover, her ‘The Age Of Love’ remix alongside Enrico Sangiuliano continues to hold top spots on the Trance peak-time chart, whilst the full lineup for her Flanders Expo Hall event in Ghent now features Richie Hawtin, Armin van Buuren, 999999999, Enrico Sangiuliano, Supergloss, Theo Nasa, Inox Traxx, SAMOH, SHDW, and SOMEWHEN, as they come together to celebrate her 15-year career within the dance industry.
Armin van Buuren (No.5)
A name that could not be missing from any Trance Top 10 list, Armin van Buuren continues to enhance his legacy year in and year out, with 2025, of course, being no different. From his very own residency at Ushuaïa Ibiza this past summer, to performing at major events and festivals worldwide, and as always, releasing his A State Of Trance year-end album; this is one act that has become synonymous with greatness from the offset of his career, and as time progresses, his influence expands on the constant. Making 2025 even more special, his ‘Piano’ album presented a raw and unfiltered side of his genius musical mind, and as he embarked on a more classical route, the end results were once again nothing short of spectacular.
