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 such as 2019's "Instagram" and 2017's "Complicated."
Born in Willebroek, Belgium,
Vegas (aka
Dimitri Thivaios) started making a name for himself DJing 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 sought after. Their first entry into the charts came the following year, with their anthem for the 2010 edition of Tomorrowland, "Tomorrow (Give into the Night)," peaking at number 16 on the Belgium charts. The duo continued their success with release after release, collaborating with the likes of
Moguai,
Ummet Ozcan,
Ne-Yo, and
Diplo.
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. 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." ~ Rich Wilson
