<h2>DON DIABLO WINS „BEST PERFORMANCE” AT THE 2026 ELECTRONIC DANCE MUSIC AWARDS FOR HIS WORLD PREMIERE SET AT UNTOLD X &nbsp;</h2>Don Diablo has won the "Best Performance" category at the&nbsp;2026 Electronic Dance Music Awards (EDMA) for his live set at the anniversary edition of&nbsp;UNTOLD X, the festival that currently ranks third globally. &nbsp;The category featured heavyweight nominees such as&nbsp;Anyma, deadmau5, and&nbsp;Alan Walker,&nbsp;with the winner determined entirely by public vote, offering a direct reflection of the show's massive impact among global fans. &nbsp;In 2025, the Dutch DJ chose&nbsp;UNTOLD X to exclusively premiere his brand-new show concept, created for his 2026 global tour. Don Diablo's set was far from a standard festival routine; he built a show dedicated exclusively to the main stage, tailored specifically to the massive scale of the&nbsp;Cluj-Arena. The production featured a custom-developed visual system, with elements synchronized in real-time with his tracklist. &nbsp;The performance was designed as an immersive, cohesive experience rather than just a sequence of tracks. The stage setup was modified to foster a more direct connection with the audience during the anniversary edition of&nbsp;UNTOLD X that gathered over&nbsp;470,000 attendees from more than 150 countries. &nbsp;This approach reflects a clear shift in the electronic music industry. The distinction between a DJ set and a live performance is no longer just about the format, but about how the show itself is constructed. Artists are heavily investing in concepts, visual identity, and custom productions capable of standing alone as independent experiences, rather than just routine lineup appearances. &nbsp;For&nbsp;Don Diablo,&nbsp;UNTOLD served as the ideal platform to debut this show on the international stage. The industry validation followed in Miami at an annual event that brings together artists, labels, and professionals from across the music world. &nbsp;The Dutch artist remains one of the most prominent names in the future house scene and a pioneer in consistently developing the visual components of his projects.&nbsp;HEXAGON, the label founded by&nbsp;Don Diablo, continues to be a benchmark for new directions within the genre, while&nbsp;HEXAGON Radio maintains its position at the top of global industry radio charts. &nbsp;For&nbsp;UNTOLD, the&nbsp;EDMA trophy solidifies the festival's role in the global circuit of major events. The 2025 edition featured several productions designed exclusively for the main stage, and this recognition in Miami demonstrates that these bespoke shows are setting international benchmarks for the music industry. &nbsp;For the&nbsp;2026 UNTOLD ONE edition, the creators of the world's 3rd ranked festival have announced the first wave of artists—names that have defined pop and electronic culture over the last decade:&nbsp;Lewis Capaldi, Sting, Zara Larson, Flo Rida, Swae Lee, Martin Garrix, Kygo, The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, Lost Frequencies, Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve Aoki, Mestiza, Tash Sultana, Afrojack și R3hab.UNTOLD ONE will take place from&nbsp;August 6–9, 2026, in&nbsp;Cluj-Napoca.

Don Diablo has won the "Best Performance" category at the 2026 Electronic Dance Music Awards (EDMA) for his live set at the anniversary edition of UNTOLD X, the festival that currently ranks third globally.

It’s that time of year again when, after a packed festival season, the electronic music industry turns its spotlight on production talent. Yesterday, the official&nbsp;1001Tracklists Top 101 Producers of 2025&nbsp;ranking was released.&nbsp;For the past ten years,&nbsp;1001Tracklists has published this data-driven chart, listing the world’s most supported producers. Unlike the annual DJ Mag poll, this ranking is based entirely on verified data. It tracks every instance in which a producer’s track is played, whether in a radio show, live performance, or streamed DJ set,&nbsp;between October 1, 2024, and September 30, 2025. Each unique play counts as support, making this chart one of the most objective reflections of real influence in electronic music.&nbsp;Over the last decade, many of the artists featured in this year’s ranking have performed on the stages of&nbsp;UNTOLD. From global pioneers like&nbsp;David Guetta, Armin van Buuren, and&nbsp;Tiësto to the new generation represented by&nbsp;Anyma, Alok, and&nbsp;HUGEL, the festival has become a landmark for producers shaping the global sound of electronic music. Year after year,&nbsp;UNTOLD brings together artists at the top of international charts, reaffirming its role as a global hub for electronic music culture.&nbsp;The&nbsp;Top 101 Producers highlights the artists whose tracks received the most DJ support worldwide. Max Styler takes the number-one spot for the first time, followed by&nbsp;ARTBAT and&nbsp;Chris Lake, confirming that house and melodic techno continue to define the sound of 2025.&nbsp;Unlike fan-voted polls, 1001Tracklists builds its rankings from verified DJ data. Each track appearing in a certified set, mix, or live show contributes to the producer’s total number of unique supports. When multiple DJs play the same track, each instance is logged, creating a transparent and trustworthy reflection of which producers received the strongest backing throughout the year.&nbsp;Max Styler climbs from #16 in 2024 to the top position, powered by the success of his tech house releases, while ARTBAT&nbsp;secures second place.&nbsp;David Guetta remains a constant presence in mainstage sets, maintaining a wide-reaching influence across formats, and&nbsp;UNTOLD X headliners&nbsp;HUGEL&nbsp;and Anyma rank 6th and 7th, respectively.&nbsp;The 2025 list clearly reveals a shift toward house and melodic techno dominating the global scene.&nbsp;Tech house&nbsp;producers lead the upper half of the ranking, while&nbsp;melodic and progressive sounds&nbsp;gain momentum across&nbsp;Europe and&nbsp;North America. Trance maintains strong representation through veterans like&nbsp;Armin van Buuren and&nbsp;Ferry Corsten, while big-room powerhouses such as&nbsp;Hardwell and&nbsp;W&amp;W remain solid in the lower half.&nbsp;Several artists made significant jumps in 2025.&nbsp;GENESI, Massano, and&nbsp;CASSIMM climbed rapidly due to international exposure and cross-genre collaborations. Established producers like&nbsp;John Summit, Oliver Heldens, and Like Mike&nbsp;experienced slight drops but continue to enjoy consistent support from DJs worldwide.&nbsp;This dynamic points to an increasingly balanced landscape where underground tracks can compete directly with mainstream hits, as long as they earn the trust of global DJs. The&nbsp;1001Tracklists Top 101 Producers 2025 ranking underscores how DJ-driven data continues to reshape influence in electronic music. For fans and promoters alike, it offers a clear look at the sounds that dominate international stages and hint at the directions festivals and tours will take in the near future.&nbsp;The list also features several&nbsp;Kapital&nbsp;Festival headliners, including&nbsp;Mau P, John Summit, Vintage Culture, MORTEN, Tujamo, and&nbsp;Don Diablo. The 2025 edition confirms a major shift toward genre diversity in electronic music, a world now defined by&nbsp;melodic techno, house, tech house, techno, and&nbsp;progressive house.

Yesterday, the official 1001Tracklists Top 101 Producers of 2025 ranking was released.

The Romanian Police, the Gendarmerie, the Emergency Response Units (ISU), and the Local Police all operate on site throughout the entire festival. In addition, specialised teams from the Anti-Drug Agency and the Organised Crime Task Force ensure that any risk is addressed early and efficiently. These agencies work in real time with our internal teams to monitor, prevent, and intervene where needed – from the mainstage to the most remote corners of the festival.&nbsp;<h2>REAL-TIME CROWD MONITORING &nbsp;</h2>Crowd control is one of the most important aspects of festival safety.

From the access lanes to the last beat, we are keeping you safe and comfortable.&nbsp;<h2>STRICT WRISTBAND POLICY FOR MINORS &nbsp;</h2>Minors attending the festival are easily identified through different wristbands.
