1. Remix DJ Pool republished the Beatport Minimal & Deep Tech Top 100 for January 2026

Remix DJ Pool republished the January Top 100 (page header shows 11–12 Jan 2026), giving DJs and selectors a ready snapshot of what’s moving in minimal and deep‑tech right now. That republish acts as a monthly pulse, an easy reference when you're prepping crates, checking for edits, or refreshing promos for the next gig. Practically, it saves time by collecting the chart in a single place and flags the tunes other DJs are leaning on.

2. Jamback, Positive (Extended Mix) (No. 1)

Sitting at number one, Jamback’s "Positive (Extended Mix)" is the chart’s current bellwether; expect it to be a common play across playlists and promos this month. As the top entry, it’s a reliable marker for what crowds are responding to, grab a promo, cue an edit, or slot it for a peak‑time lift. Use it to anchor set transitions or as a mainstay for listeners who follow Beatport charts.

3. Boss Priester, Keep The Crowd Moving (Orig. Mix) (No. 2)

At number two, Boss Priester’s "Keep The Crowd Moving (Orig. Mix)" signals strong floor appeal among selectors who watch the Minimal & Deep‑Tech chart. Its chart placement makes it a smart choice when you want a track that already has momentum behind it; include it in your peak or build sets to align with current trends. DJs can also test it in different parts of a set to discover where it lands best with their crowd.

4. Julian Fijma, Get Stupid (Orig. Mix) (No. 3)

Julian Fijma’s "Get Stupid (Orig. Mix)" holds a top‑three position, which means it’s on many playlists and shared crates this month. Use that ranking as a signal to preview the track and decide if an edit or loop will make it slot into your signature sound. Having a charting track in your setlist can also make mixing with other trending records smoother because other DJs will likely use similar drops and phrasing.

5. Collier, Ready! (Orig. Mix) (No. 4)

Collier’s "Ready! (Orig. Mix)" at number four is another standout to consider during set programming and promo drops. Its placement suggests steady traction among tastemakers; if you’re curating a minimal/deep‑tech block, preview this one for energy and transition points. Keep it handy in a crate labeled “Top 100 January” so you can quickly pull it during live streams or radio shows.

6. Justin Rabin, Love To Love (Extended Mix) (No. 5)

Justin Rabin’s "Love To Love (Extended Mix)" rounds out the top five and is a practical pick for DJs who want material that’s chart‑recognized but still fresh for audiences. An extended mix often gives you more room for blending and layering, use that space to create signature intros or to drop in acapellas and effects. Chart position makes it a safe add to promos and pre‑set warmups.

7. Ayybo & Discip, 4 Ya Mind (No. 6)

Ayybo & Discip’s "4 Ya Mind" at number six is a useful cue for selectors tracking collaborations and label momentum within the scene. If you’re digging for cuts that might pair well with both deeper and more minimal pockets in a set, give this one a run through your mixer. Put it in a short trial in a warm‑up or second‑hour slot to see where it lands with your crowd.

8. Alisha & Julian Fijma, Shake Your Body (No. 7)

"Shake Your Body" by Alisha & Julian Fijma sits at seven, and its chart placement suggests DJs are already testing it across lineups. Add it to your candidate list for peak or late‑peak transitions where a familiar chart name helps maintain momentum. It’s also a useful track to remix into a quick promo for playlists and social drops.

9. Louis Millne, Second Guessing (No. 8)

At eight, Louis Millne’s "Second Guessing" is firmly on the radar for this month’s minimal/deep‑tech selectors. Its Top 10 status makes it convenient to reference when constructing hour‑by‑hour pacing or when layering for tension and release. Keep a cue point or a short edit ready so you can deploy it cleanly between other trending tracks.

10. Foynez, Pump It (No. 9)

Foynez’s "Pump It" holding ninth place is another practical inclusion for any DJ’s January crates. The title alone flags it as a possible high‑energy tool for transitions; treat its chart position as permission to test it in different spots during a live set. Use brief loops or filter rides to integrate it without disrupting overall flow.

11. Aitor Astiz & Joey London Style, Cupcake (No. 10)

Rounding out the reported top ten, Aitor Astiz & Joey London Style’s "Cupcake" at number ten is a tidy pick for DJs who want to stay aligned with the month’s most‑played material. It’s a convenient late‑add when you want to echo wider trends in your local scene or on streams. Keep a copy in your Top 100 crate for quick access during radio shows and livestreams.

    12. The full Top 100 and how to use it

    The full page lists the entire Top 100 and is commonly used by DJs to plan sets and pick trending minimal/deep‑tech tracks for the month, so treat the list as your monthly roadmap. Practical ways to use it:

  • build a “Top 100 January” crate and audition the top 20 for immediate set options
  • mark tracks for edits, cue points, and promo plays
  • compare this month’s picks to past charts to spot emerging names you want to back
  • This makes your prep faster and keeps your crates aligned with what other selectors and the crowd are hearing.

13. Closing takeaway

Charts are not rules, they’re tools: use the republished Beatport Top 100 as a launchpad, not a script. Keep the list handy, test the tracks in slots that match your vibe, and use the chart’s momentum to present crowd‑friendly choices while keeping your own signature edits and mixes front and center.
