On 30 September 2013, Garrix released a remix of "Project T" by Sander Van Doorn, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike which quickly hit No. 1 on the Beatport charts.[9] Garrix appeared on DJ mag's top 100 DJs list 2013 as a new entry at number 40.[10] In November 2013, Garrix signed a deal with Scooter Braun's Scooter Braun Projects (later School Boy Records).[11]
