Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike Become World's Best DJs in the Top 100 DJs
Speaking about winning the award for a second time Dimitri & Mike said: "
Over the last few years the award-winning brothers have left an historical mark on the electronic music scene at large. From their position as ambassadors of Tomorrowland, playing a part in the incredible rise of the Belgian event that saw 400,000 revellers celebrate Tomorrowland's 15th anniversary, to their omnipresent position in music charts and streaming platforms. With an all-Star line-up on one of the biggest songs of the summer, the platinum award winning 'Instagram', with David Guetta and Afro Bros, saw the brothers work with two of the biggest reggaeton names in the world, Daddy Yankee and Natti Natasha and crushing charts worldwide. While previously working with artists like Wiz Khalifa , Gucci Mane, Diplo, Snoop Dogg, Martin Garrix and even Hans Zimmer – the brothers collected 4 Billboard Dance #1s amongst countless gold and platinum awards.
Throw in setting up their own eSports organisation, doing the soundtrack and getting an own playable character in the latest instalment of the Mortal Kombat game franchise, a mammoth season at Ushuaïa Ibiza with their Garden of Madness night, as well as their run of end of year homecoming arena shows with "Garden of Madness" in Belgium (that sees 80,000 people join every year), New York and the UK, plus one-off shows at the Italian Formula 1, UEFA Champions League Final and a gargantuan run of continent hopping tour dates, it's not hard to see what may have encouraged their worldwide army of fans to back their favourite DJs this year.
The top 5 includes Martin Garrix in second place, David Guetta in third, followed by Armin Van Buren & Marshmello – full list: www.djmag.com
