Gold Winner DJ IV

Silver Winner Pineo & Loeb

Bronze Winner Jules Bangsworth

After a couple years out of the gold slot, DJ IV (AKA Brian Pelrine) has returned to claim the top spot he’s familiar with. And no wonder: “Two thousand sixteen has been an amazing and inspiring year for me,” writes Pelrine, whose highlights include a cross-country tour with Classified, hanging out with Tom Green, playing Sidney Crosby’s Stanley Cup house party and “releasing the Back Around project with my Universal Soul brothers that’s been 10-plus years in the making.” Next year brings his continued Reflections residency and a collab with J-Bru. “There has been so much greatness that has happened to myself and the musical family that I am surrounded by,” he says, “to see all of us doing what we love to do and moving forward towards our goals, it’s an amazing feeling!”
