Top 3 DJs in Latvia: Psytrance, Techno and Drum & Bass Split the Podium

Latvia's Top 3 looks less like one scene than three. Psytrance holds the top spot, techno is second and drum & bass is third. No two names on this podium share a genre family, which makes it one of the most varied national tables on our board.

Credit score sets the order, and the gaps between places are clear: Corona has 829, Gustavo 732 and usedcvnt 632. That's 97 points from first to second and 100 from second to third. Nobody here holds a place by a hair.

Corona leads with a credit score of 829 and 5,603 votes, the highest of the three on both measures. Leading on both is the whole case for the top spot, and it's a solid one.

The streaming numbers are large for this table. Our collected data shows 471,093 Spotify monthly listeners, 263,656 Spotify followers and 851,625 Last.fm listeners. We'd read those as background, not as the main story. Platform counts can contain collection errors, and the ranking holds on score and votes alone.

The most telling number on this podium belongs to Gustavo. His 5,304 votes leave him just 299 behind Corona, the closest race anywhere in Latvia's Top 3. On credit score, though, the gap is 97 points. Votes alone don't explain the full distance.

Gustavo also has the most platforms tracked in our data. The techno DJ's profile covers Spotify (25,280 monthly listeners, 30,513 followers), Last.fm (14,363 listeners), Instagram (1,637 followers) and RA (226 followers), plus a festival count of 17. We don't have a festival count for the other two, so that figure can't be compared across the podium. It is still part of the record behind the number two spot.

Third place goes to usedcvnt, with a credit score of 632 and 2,360 votes, less than half of Gustavo's total. That vote gap is the simplest explanation for where the podium splits.

The figures we have for usedcvnt describe a different kind of profile: 168,300 TikTok followers, 59,000 YouTube subscribers, 39,588 on Instagram and 17,828 on SoundCloud, plus 204,165 Last.fm listeners. This dataset has no Spotify figures for usedcvnt, so we can't compare streaming numbers directly with the two names above.

What the numbers do show is an audience spread across several platforms, from short-form video to SoundCloud. In a table led by psytrance and techno, that breadth is what stands out for the drum & bass entry.

In short, Latvia's podium shows three different routes to a ranking. Corona has the highest score and the most votes. Gustavo has nearly as many votes and the widest platform coverage in our data. usedcvnt has reach across social and video platforms in the bass lane.

If the order changes, watch the vote column. Gustavo is 299 votes from the top, and usedcvnt has the most ground to make up. For now, the credit scores leave the Top 3 settled, with three very different sounds at the top of Latvia's table.
