Miami, United States, November 5th, 2025, Chainwire

The world’s largest Web3-powered entertainment collective partners with electronic dance music’s most trusted data authority to connect performance, fan identity, and global community engagement.

RaveDAO and 1001Tracklists came together during Amsterdam Dance Event to co-present the Top 101 Producers and The Future of Dance 2025, celebrating the artists, producers, and fans shaping the next chapter of global electronic music. The partnership builds on a growing collaboration between the two platforms and reflects a shared commitment to transparency, participation, and the power of community in modern music culture.

Following their successful collaboration in Miami earlier this year, both teams are continuing to explore new ways to connect verified performance data with audience engagement. The goal is simple but ambitious: to turn recognition into interaction by giving fans a more meaningful role in how music and its creators are celebrated. By linking 1001Tracklists’ verified performance data with RaveDAO’s web3 entertainment framework, the partnership connects what happens in the booth to what happens in the crowd, turning real plays and community energy into the backbone of how modern music culture moves.

Each year, 1001Tracklists’ Top 101 Producers honors the artists whose music shaped dancefloors around the world, measured purely through real DJ support. The 2025 edition featured Max Styler (#1), ARTBAT (#2), Chris Lake (#3), David Guetta (#4), and GENESI (#5) among a global lineup that illustrates how data can tell a more honest story about creative impact.

By co-presenting this year’s edition, RaveDAO and 1001Tracklists continue to bridge data and culture, creating opportunities for deeper connection between artists, audiences, and the communities that bring music to life.

“1001Tracklists has set the gold standard for transparency in electronic music,” said Ron Yung, Operations Lead at RaveDAO. “Our collaboration is about extending that transparency into live culture, turning recognition into connection, and making data something fans can experience, not just observe.”

“Every statistic tells a story, but stories only live through people,” said Jacob Merlin, CMO at 1001Tracklists. “RaveDAO shares our belief that recognition in dance music should come from the ground up: from the DJs, artists, and fans who keep this culture alive every night.”

As the partnership evolves, both RaveDAO and 1001Tracklists are exploring how real-time data and community participation can converge across future events, showcases, and artist collaborations. What began with Miami and Amsterdam is only the start of a broader effort to link recognition, experience, and ownership across the global dance ecosystem. The next phase will see new formats where data comes alive in real spaces where every play, every crowd, and every fan contributes to the living record of electronic music culture.
