As expected, a whole nation was ecstatic with the win of their fellow country man, with a number of producers from the electronic dance scene quick to showcase their enthusiasm and congratulate the World Champion through posts on their social media accounts.

First to unveil his excitement to the world, was no other than Dutch superstar Martin Garrix, with the DJ/producer also present at the Yas Marina Circuit in Abu Dhabi.
