About this artist
Alongside his brother Like Mike, Dimitri Vegas became synonymous with the explosion of EDM, embracing electro-house, hardstyle, trap, and pop into an infectious mix of anthemic dancefloor-friendly club smashes. They broke through with their 2010 Tomorrowland anthem “Tomorrow (Give Into the Night),” and have continued to garner chart and club hits, collaborating with Ne-Yo for 2015′s “Higher Place,” David Guetta for 2017′s “Complicated,” and Daddy Yankee, Natti Natasha, and others on 2019′s “Instagram.” The duo founded their own label and have worked on projects with artists like Afrojack, Era Istrefi, Paris Hilton, Steve Angello, Sebastian Yatra, and more.
Born in Willebroek, Belgium, Vegas (aka Dimitri Thivaios) started making a name for himself DJ’ing alongside his brother at local club nights, earning themselves a residency on radio before playing clubs around Europe. Debuting in 2009 with the single “Liquid Skies” under the pseudonym DNM, Vegas and Like Mike quickly became much sought after. Their first entry into the charts came the following year, with their anthem for 2010′s Tomorrowland, “Tomorrow (Give Into the Night),” peaking at number 16 on the Belgium charts. That same year, they founded their own Smash the House label. The duo continued their success with release after release, collaborating with the likes of Moguai (2013′s “Mammoth”), Ummet Ozcan (2015′s “The Hum”), and Diplo (2016′s “Hey Baby”).
In 2014, Vegas and Like Mike teamed up with American DJ Steve Aoki under the moniker 3 Are Legend, performing at some of the world’s biggest EDM festivals. The following year, they scored a number one dance hit with “Higher Place” featuring Ne-Yo. More singles followed, including 2017′s massive hit “Complicated” and 2019′s even bigger “Instagram,” which saw Vegas and his brother join forces with Daddy Yankee, David Guetta, Afro Bros, and Natti Natasha.
By the end of 2020, Vegas and Like Mike had released nearly 17 singles in one year, including their first foray into Christmas-themed music, with covers of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas” and the holiday standard “Santa Claus Is Coming to Town.” In 2021, they released the track “We’ll Be Dancing Soon” with Azteck and Angemi. ~ Rich Wilson
