Top 10 DJs in Morocco: Mhammed El Alami Runs Away With the Fan Vote

Some rankings are decided by inches. Morocco's isn't, at least not at the top.

Mhammed El Alami leads the fan-voted Top 10 with 5,689 votes. That's more than the DJs at #2 through #5 received combined (5,685). Of the 14,529 votes cast across this list, nearly two in five went to the Melodic House & Techno artist, and the gap to second place is 4,047 votes.

The lead is convincing because it doesn't rest on votes alone. El Alami also holds the list's highest credit score at 775, and the platform numbers line up with each other: 83,464 Spotify monthly listeners, 8,465 Spotify followers, 4,900 YouTube subscribers, 3,790 SoundCloud followers, 2,613 Instagram followers and 14,756 Last.fm listeners. No single figure is carrying the profile. The base is broad and balanced, and the fans turned out for it.

Below the top spot, things get crowded. Tif takes #2 with 1,642 votes, followed by Youssef Fahmi Idrissi (1,451), DJ Hamida (1,342), SHR (1,250) and Daksha (1,166). Only 476 votes separate #2 from #6. DJ Hamida and SHR are 92 votes apart, and SHR and Daksha are 84 apart.

The credit scores complicate the picture. Tif and DJ Hamida share the same score of 496, tied for the second-highest mark in the Top 10, yet they sit two places apart because this countdown is ordered by fan votes. Youssef Fahmi Idrissi, at 479, edges ahead of Hamida on the ballot despite the slightly lower score. Support from voters and the overall profile score don't always move together.

A note on the platform numbers in this tier: several profiles vary sharply from one service to the next. Rather than read too much into any single figure, we're treating fan votes as the clearest signal here.

The list covers more genres than its leader might suggest. Techno has two entries in the upper half, Tif and SHR. Electronica claims two spots through DJ Hamida and NASSIF B, and Youssef Fahmi Idrissi represents House.

Psy-Trance has the strongest showing, though. Three of the ten come from that genre: Daksha (#6), Illustrator (#8) and Drakphaser (#9). That makes it the best-represented genre on the list. Daksha leads the trio with 1,166 votes and a credit score of 415. Illustrator (524 votes, 256 credit) and Drakphaser (349 votes, 211 credit) fill out the lower places.

NASSIF B lands at #7 with 979 votes and a credit score of 353, the last entry above the 900-vote mark. After that the totals drop off: Illustrator, at #8, sits 455 votes behind.

NSAITYI closes out the ten with 137 votes and a credit score of 122. It's the list's only Dance / Pop entry and the only commercial-leaning name in a field otherwise built on house, techno, psytrance and electronica.

Morocco's Top 10 tells two stories at once: one artist with a clear, well-rounded lead, and a deep, competitive group behind. Psytrance holds three spots, and techno, house and electronica are all represented, so this ballot covers a wide range of the scene. With 476 votes separating #2 from #6, the next round of voting could reshuffle the middle quickly.
