While both brothers were always close growing up, and began Djing at clubs before they were old enough to even enter them as punters, they didn't think to truly make music together until well into their late teens. Dimitri was more into club and dance music while Michael was a devoted hip-hop head, but after taking a trip around Europe together, they found themselves down in Ibiza for an extended period of time. While they were there they both fell for club culture and found themselves inspired by the sheer amount of great DJ's they heard while down there. It wasn't long before the siblings decided to start making their own music together, moving back to their native Belgium as Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike.
While jetting all over Europe to play residencies in some of the most prestigious clubs on the continent, the duo released their first white label single “Cocaine/Eivissa” in 2007. The duo went from strength to strength from the moment that they debuted as producers, with Axwell of Swedish House Mafia personally reaching out to them to remix one of his label's singles a single year after their first single. Ever since then, the duo have impressed everyone they've come into contact with, getting a stamp of approval from the likes of Faithless and Snoop Dogg himself. By 2012, the band had become a commercial force to be reckoned with, scoring their first top ten single in the form of that “Momentum”.
To this day, the duo remain one of the most respected names in electro house, thanks massively to Dimitri's thunderous beats complimenting his brothers vocals. The world is at their feet, and their best days are far ahead of them, and for that, they come highly recommended.
With heavy rock and dance influences, the girls first burst onto the scene with their Play Hard EP in 2011. Quickly amassing almost half a billion plays, they were pioneers in a male-dominated music industry, securing major club residencies and festival appearances. Their rebellious fashion and attitude inspired their millions of fans to embrace themselves, and they formed an obsessed collective affectionately self-dubbed as the #KREW.
With coverage from publications like the New York Times and Rolling Stone, Krewella caught the world's attention as the new age rock stars of this millennial generation. After Super Bowl spots and sold out headlining shows, Jahan and Yasmine were trail blazers for artists in the electronic genre - with their unapologetic female swagger in tow.
With the platinum hit 'Alive' under their belt, Krewella has charted hundreds of millions of streams while they have evolved into a live rock / dance hybrid act. With their versatility in their songwriting and vocal performance, the sisters' work with producers of all genres gives them the freedom to redefine their sound. With the rare ability to play both acoustic live sets and raucous Las Vegas club residencies, Krewella is one of today's most unique music performers.
He is well known for his collaboration with Avicii on the track “I Could Be the One”. The single debuted at Number 1 on the UK Dance Chart, ahead of Baauer’s “Harlem Shake”. The single was both Avicii and Nicky Romero's brush with the Number 1 slot in the UK. It also came in at Number 1 on the Billboard US Hot Dance Club Songs.
Romero began recording tracks after finishing his final semester, while he was working as a bartender. He broke out with his early track “Funktion One”, which gained him the attention of Dutch DJ and producer Madskillz, who signed him to his label Azucar.
Before long, he was contacted by Ministry of Sound to do some remixes on their label and spun a bootleg remix of the David Guetta track “When Love Takes Over”, which went viral and drew the attention of Guetta himself. Since then the two have collaborated on the tracks “Metropolis” and “Wild One Two” and a residency on the A-list at Guetta’s famed FMIF club night at Pacha/Ushuaia Ibiza.
Romero is the wunderkind of EDM, and has made an international name for himself with his high-profile remixes, as well as putting out the viral single ‘Toulouse’ and the track “Feet On The Ground” featuring vocals from the Dutch singer Anouk. He’s been a highlight at major international festivals including Ultra Music Festival, Coachella, Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas, Sensation White and Tomorrowland.
As well as David Guetta and Avicii, he’s rubbed shoulders with EDM powerhouses Armand Van Helden, Hardwell, Calvin Harris, Tiësto and Fedde Le Grand and is the rising star of contemporary house music.
From his breakthrough remixes for Rihanna, Drake, Taylor Swift, Calvin Harris, Sia, Jason Derulo, Ed Sheeran, Tyga, Ellie Goulding, The Chainsmokers, P!nk, to name only a few, to anthems such as multi-Platinum-certified "All Around The World (La La La)," "Lullaby" with Mike Williams, "Flames" with ZAYN and Jungleboi, or "Creep" with Gattüso, to his collaborations with the likes of Ava Max, Luis Fonsi, Sean Paul, Afrojack, Armin van Buuren, Lukas Graham, Icona Pop, and more, R3HAB has proven to be one of the most forward-thinking artists in the game.
His work has collected over 9 billion streams to date, including 1.1 billion in 2022 alone. He founded his label CYB3RPVNK in 2016, which has passed 4B streams across platforms since its inception. He is Spotify's Most Discovered Artist, one of Spotify's top 300 most streamed artists, ranked #13 on the prestigious DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs chart, and has earned over 70 Gold and Platinum certificates. On top of that, he performed at the world's top festivals, such as EDC, Ultra Music Festival, Tomorrowland, Balaton Sound, Coachella, Summer Sonic Festival, DWP Jakarta, and more.
With his combination of innate artistry and innovative attitude, R3HAB has earned his place as a household name in dance music.
Ben Nicky has to be one of the best DJ's that i've seen in recent years. He is an absolute demon on the decks recommend him to anyone. The O2 Glasgow is also an excellent venue.
A NIGHT TO REMEMBER HAD BY ALL
Although Belgian DJ and producer Dimitri Thivaios is often affiliated with his bandmate Like Mike, he does occasionally tour and perform solo. Without the music maker, Dimitri still holds the crowd like a complete professional as he now has over fifteen years of experience on the circuit. He greets the roaring masses with a huge grin as it clear to see that he is totally prepared for the challenge of not only engaging but injected a suitable dose of euphoria into the venue tonight.
With a discography of his own releases and remixes along with the paired efforts with Like Mike he has no issues in filling a setlist with killer dance material. The electro house aficionado is enjoying further chart success recently so the crowds seem to be a lot more familiar with tracks including 'Find Tomorrow' and the Martin Garrix collaboration 'Tremor' as they roar in excitement at the introduction. Vegas knows just how to capitalise on an influx of energy and follows it up with remix of 'Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat' by Fatboy Slim to really bring it home as the screens explode in light and visual behind him.
2010 is the year I first heard of this DJ group called Krewella. First thoughts were, "wow."
Google search, here I come.
I was immediately on board; I was full throttle, pedal to the floor hooked on the beautiful girls, Jahan and Yasmine, the mind blowing creativity of Rainman, and the amazing live music they produced together as a team.
I was off like a rocket, downloading, YouTubing, searching, searching, learning, listening, searching; I was so intrigued. The level of talent, attraction, and need to see them live was incredible.
After my crash course in Krewella 101 I found myself attending shows, one after another, and boy, was it worth it. Their following was small at the time but I was up close and personal at every show which great in and of itself. Getting the opportunity to see an incredible group develop before your eyes is what I call, “prime time.” They are unaltered by the public or people’s opinions, it I attended multiple shows in Cincinnati, Chicago, Athens, Columbus, and New York. Not only is their performances emotional and powerful, members of Krewella are simply good people. I had the pleasure of meeting Yasmine and Rainman just outside the performance tent in Cincinnati at Fountain Square for the Free Summer Concert Series. They both are very real and appreciative of the fans they have. I even managed to get a kiss on the cheek from Yasmine, “talk about amazing.”
The Free show in Cincinnati was special because it was close proximity to the crowd, it was very engaging and "in your face performance." In other words, it was outstanding and they left it all out there for us. They played for approximately an hour mixing and mashing up tracks together I've never heard. The style that was incorporated was so fresh and new it sucked us all in from the beginning. I said to myself, "I'm witnessing a brand new DJ group that is going to take the EDM scene by storm." A couple short years later, they did just that, bigger and better than ever.
Needless to say I’m a huge fan in all aspects of the group. They do a tremendous job in entertaining people to the fullest. I highly recommend making it to a show and supporting their work. I'd pay any ticket price to catch their show. They deserve it and it's worth every penny. They are always an amazing live show. Always.
Seriously though, how gorgeous are those girls? Whew.
Upmost respect, CJ
He could be the one for you... and if you've ever seen the 25-year old play a live set, you will know that he most certainly is.
Since the start of 2013, the popularity of Dutch-born DJ Nicky Romero has sky-rocketed as the music industry started to take notice of his productions. Following the release of the single Toulouse, he entered the top 20 of DJ Mag's top 100 DJ's and has never looked back since, releasing 'I Could Be The One' in the same year which went double platinum. He is currently working an a new album, a sign that you'll be hearing a lot of new material at upcoming sets. Nicky certainly doesn't hold back with elaborate decoration when it comes to live set. At TomorrowLand 2014 in July, there were smoke machines and confetti bursting from the stage in time with the drops whilst backing dancers on trampolines bounced around the stage. The crowd was a vibrant, bobbing sea of colour, responding immediately to Nicky's catchphrase of the day 'put your hands up'!
It was certainly an exhibition of unbelievable mixing with strong dance anthems played throughout, but there were some spine-tingling moments, including when Nicky dropped 'Ghost', 'Latch' and 'Like Home' especially after high-tempo beats, having a calming and almost emotional effect - a feeling you can only understand by seeing the man live.
Fadil El Ghoul, yes that is his surname, and I know, it is awesome! Unfortunately he doesn’t go by that as a stage name though. He goes by R3hab. Creative.
However, questionable stage names aside, this Moroccan/Algerian DJ who has won the IDM Best Breakthrough Artist Award, is set to perform a fantastically gripping and atmospheric set this evening. Everyone is excited, if a little intoxicated, but hey, it should be a pretty fun evening to say the least! I’m here with an open mind ready to just take in whatever is before me. As an artist in his own right he has released a great number of singles that have turned into hits, not necessarily in the charts, but they have maintained his loyal following. “Get Get Down” is the wild opener, aptly titled, seeing everyone around me literally Getting Down. When in Rome hey! “Androids” is an interesting song that goes down fantastically with this audience, I mean, R3hab can’t really put a foot wrong with his EDM equipment in front of him, and the play button.
