1001Tracklists has published The Future of Dance 2026, a list of 101 artists it says made an impact this year. The site calls the list hand-curated. It does not rank the artists, and the X graphic lists them A to Z.
The page went live on the Top 101 Producers site on Oct 18, according to its metadata. Later that day, 1001Tracklists’ media account @1001TLtv posted a graphic on X with all 101 names. Also, the post says it shows the full 2026 selection.
What the Future of Dance 2026 list includes
The site describes the artists as “moving electronic music forward.” It also says their “next chapter deserves your attention.” However, those are 1001Tracklists’ words, not a BEZ judgement.
The list includes Amour Propre, EdiP, Julia Linkogel, Mila Journée, Ninajirachi and WELKER, among others. We are not reprinting the full 101 here. Instead, readers can find every name on the 1001Tracklists page.
How the list compares with other artists-to-watch picks
Other outlets also spotlight new names. For example, Dancing Astronaut published its Artists to Watch in 2026 on Dec 22, 2025. Seven artists appear on both lists: 19:26, Brunello, mölly, Nova Blue, Omar+, Pegassi and WELKER. Like the 1001Tracklists list, the Dancing Astronaut list runs in alphabetical order.
The Top 101 Producers is a separate list
The Future of Dance 2026 list sits beside the Top 101 Producers, a separate project. By contrast, the site says the Top 101 Producers “follows the data,” while the Future of Dance “opens another lens.”
1001Tracklists revealed the Top 101 Producers 2026 ranking on Monday, Oct 19. David Guetta took No. 1, according to the Top 101 Producers site. Read our full report on the ranking.
The Oct 22 party at Club Panama
In addition, 1001Tracklists and partners list a party for both lists on Thursday, Oct 22, at Club Panama in Amsterdam. See our ADE 2026 events guide for more ADE week listings. The ADE programme lists it as “1001Tracklists x FinalFinal x DJ Lovers Club,” from 4 PM to 10 PM.
The ADE lineup includes Amour Propre, EdiP, G-POL, Julia Linkogel and Mila Journée, who are all on the Future of Dance list. It also names GENESI, Morten and R3hab. ADE lists Mila Journée under Brazil (BR).
The plvr.io page is for guests aged 18 and over. It names 1001Tracklists and RaveDAO as organizers and asks guests to RSVP. However, we found no price or capacity. Lineups and times can change, so check the official pages.
