Sara Landry has been voted the World’s No. 1 Hard DJ in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs 2026 poll, adding a major new accolade to a year of international performances, label growth and new music.

The award was announced on Tuesday, October 6, at DJ Mag LIVE at [UNVRS] Ibiza, where the results of the 2026 Top 100 DJs poll were revealed.

Landry ranks No. 64 overall in this year’s poll, two places lower than her 2025 position. Her World’s No. 1 Hard DJ award is a separate genre title within the Top 100 DJs results.

A major year for Sara Landry

2026 has taken Sara Landry to some of the biggest stages of her career.

She made her Ultra Miami debut, where her HEKATE label hosted a stage takeover. The performance also saw her go B2B with Belgian techno artist Amelie Lens, a pairing that returned later in the year in London.

Landry also performed at Coachella, where she presented her all-female BLOOD OATH concept.

Her touring schedule continued with performances in New York, London, Ultra Japan and EDC Korea, further expanding her international presence.

HEKATE continues to grow

Alongside her own DJ career, Landry has continued developing HEKATE, her label and creative platform.

The imprint has become an important part of her work, providing a platform for emerging producers and artists within the harder end of electronic music.

Landry has described helping new producers find an audience as one of the most rewarding aspects of building the label.

New album on the way

Landry is also entering a new chapter as an artist with her second album, Divine Intervention.

The album is scheduled for release on October 16, 2026.

She has described the project as a return to herself creatively, focusing on her identity as an artist and producer.

The album follows a year in which Landry has continued to develop both her harder club sound and the wider creative world around HEKATE.

A new genre title in the Top 100 DJs

The World’s No. 1 Hard DJ award forms part of a broader expansion of genre-specific recognition within this year’s Top 100 DJs results.

Charlotte de Witte retained the World’s No. 1 Techno DJ title, FISHER was named World’s No. 1 House DJ for the second consecutive year, and Indira Paganotto became the first World’s No. 1 Psy DJ.

The 2026 poll also showed significant movement from house, techno and harder electronic artists, with DJ Mag describing the results as a potential new era for the Top 100 DJs.

Revealed in Ibiza

The 2026 results were unveiled at DJ Mag LIVE at [UNVRS] Ibiza, with performances from David Guetta, Lost Frequencies, Charlotte de Witte, GORDO B2B Vintage Culture, Anyma, Anastazja and Korolova.

David Guetta was crowned the World’s No. 1 DJ for a record sixth time, while Charlotte de Witte and FISHER retained their respective genre titles.

For Sara Landry, the Ibiza ceremony marked another significant milestone in a rapidly expanding career.

With HEKATE continuing to develop and Divine Intervention arriving later this month, her recognition as the World’s No. 1 Hard DJ in 2026 places her firmly among the leading names in the harder electronic music scene.
