Argentina on DJ Radar: Cattáneo Leads, Brigado Crew 9 Points Behind, and Five Genres in the Top Eight

Argentina currently has 83 DJs on the DJ Radar board. Its top eight doesn't share one sound. They cover five genres: Melodic House & Techno, House, Trance, Techno and Deep House. In Argentina, the local flavour is range.

Hernán Cattáneo holds No. 1 with a credit score of 815 from 6,833 votes, the highest vote count in the country's top tier. Cattáneo's platform numbers are broad: 691,149 Instagram followers, 297,071 Spotify followers, 249,755 SoundCloud followers and 253,309 Spotify monthly listeners.

Brigado Crew sits just 9 points behind on 806, with 6,212 votes. Both of the top two are filed under Melodic House & Techno, so the melodic lane is Argentina's clearest headline on the board. Brigado Crew shows up across a wide range of platforms: 88,243 Spotify monthly listeners, 78,227 on Instagram, 16,900 on TikTok, plus Mixcloud (696) and Resident Advisor (2,096) followings.

At No. 3, TAICHU is the top-tier House name, scoring 774 from 5,711 votes. The profile is strongest on streaming and video: 1,057,695 Spotify monthly listeners and 214,000 YouTube subscribers, alongside 431,598 Instagram followers.

Further down, Ariel holds No. 8 with a score of 685 from 4,430 votes. That makes Ariel the only Deep House artist in the top eight.

Two of Argentina's top five are Trance artists. Tomas Heredia is No. 4 on 750 from 5,617 votes, with 28,976 Spotify monthly listeners, 9,892 SoundCloud followers and 1,188 on Mixcloud.

Heatbeat follows at No. 5 on 729, and the vote count is worth a look: 6,006 votes, more than either TAICHU or Heredia. DJ Radar's credit score isn't a straight vote tally, and this part of the table shows it. Heatbeat also has 51,268 Spotify followers and 32,933 SoundCloud followers.

Jonas Kopp is No. 6 on 727 from 4,596 votes, with 111,220 Spotify monthly listeners. Kopp's 6,312 Resident Advisor followers are the largest RA count among the top-eight artists who have one on file.

Julian Sanza follows at No. 7 on 706. Sanza has slightly more votes than Kopp, at 4,643, and is the only artist here with a festival count on record: 8.

From Cattáneo's 815 down to Ariel's 685, the top eight spans 130 points. That gap is wide enough to set a clear order but not so wide that one name stands alone. The very top is close; the 9-point gap between No. 1 and No. 2 is the story to watch.

Across genres, melodic sounds take the top two spots, while trance and techno each place two artists in the top seven. With 83 Argentine DJs on the board, these eight are only the front row.
