MUMBAI: Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike have been busy so far in 2018, touring worldwide in locations such as Asia and the USA, showcasing their diversity and cementing their place in the upper echelons of dance music. With roles in films such as the upcoming Belgian film Patser and The Bouncer alongside Jean Claude Van Damme, combined with Like Mike’s recent solo outing with Memories, the pair have been displaying their far-reaching talents, and with the Belgian brothers latest output, the team up with Vini Vici and Cherrymoon Trax for a Psytrance remake of the latter’s iconic Bonzai Recordings release The House Of House, Belgium’s favourite duo once again showcase a wide array of skill and proficiency in the studio.
Previous collaborations have been fruitful for the pair, which recent David Guetta team-up Complicated ft Kiiara amassing over 80 million Spotify streams to date. Having previously worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, including W&W, Diplo and Ne-Yo, the pair are well versed in heavyweight team-ups, and that experience is on show again, as the track, a remake of the 1994 still in-demand wax classic, preserves the best elements of the original whilst adding modern touches that firmly bring the track into 2018. The flowing, electronic atmospherics of the original are present in abundance and are layered with a multitude of synths that provide a textural soundbed for the harder beats to pound through. The track is peak-time festival primed, as the original melody is slowed down in the main breakdown to provide fans with a hands-in-the-air break that builds slowly, ramping up the intensity of the second drop.
The House Of House is guaranteed to get the party started, and is well placed to make an immediate impact on dancefloors the world over for some time to come, ensuring Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike retain their status at the top of the dance music pyramid.
