Ska Jazz Messengers es una propuesta musical formada en julio del año 2009. Estos 7 músicos se anexan  a la admirable escena del ska y el jazz hecho en la capital venezolana. De igual manera la banda forma parte de ese refrescamiento dentro del panorama de la movida musical venezolana. El sonido de los “SJM” se enmarca bajo la oleada de bandas que hay actualmente en todo el mundo haciendo música jamaiquina con la versatilidad del jazz; esa oleada que algunos han denominado como: “cuarta ola del ska”, siendo este término, un retorno a las raíces de gran parte de la música popular jamaiquina, (aquella de  principios de los 60’s) ska, reggae y rocksteady  con un tratamiento del jazz moderno. 


El repertorio que manejan los Messengers pasa por variopintas influencias musicales que van orientadas hacia el Ska, el Rocksteady, el Reggae con tratamientos de Jazz, pinceladas de Bossa Nova y Soul de antaño. La banda maneja un set de temas propios entrelazados con versiones conformadas desde standards de jazz, temas jamaiquinos,  arreglos a composiciones musicales de culto popular a nivel latinoamericano y global, hasta temas de compositores venezolanos como Aldemaro Romero.

Sus temas tienen una orientación tanto en la parte instrumental como en la parte vocal. De las múltiples influencias que alimentan la banda podríamos nombrar a: The Skatalites, Don Drumond, Jackie Mitoo, Prince Buster, Alton Ellis, Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, The Ska Flames, Determinations, New York Ska Jazz Ensemble, Jump with Joey, Hepcat, Henry Mancini, Tom Jobim, Thelonious Monk, Duke Ellington, The Jazz Messengers, Aldemaro Romero, Walter Wanderley, John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Yellow Magic Orquestra, Stevie Wonder , Amy Winehouse, Ella Fitzgerald, George Benson, entre otros.


Electronic music lovers know Dimitri and Mike Thivaios as the monolithic brotherly duo "Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike". The brothers are superstars in the electronic music scene that earned the adoration of crowds around the globe. From becoming the first-ever duo to win the World #1 DJ's crown at the prestigious DJ Mag Top 100 DJs Poll in 2015 and 2019, the twosome has continued to stand firm and stay in the top 5 positions in the Poll since 2014.

Collecting more Gold and Platinum records than they can count, Dimitri and Mike have won the hearts of icons across genres collaborating with heavyweight hitters like David Guetta, Daddy Yankee, Natti Natasha, Gucci Mane, Snoop Dogg, Martin Garrix, Diplo, Swedish House Mafia, Steve Aoki, Armin Van Buuren, Afrojack, Ne-Yo, Wiz Khalifa and many more. An invite from Disney Records led the brothers to work with Hans Zimmer on a big room flavour of the film's lead score 'He's a Pirate' for the fifth instalment of the Pirates of the Caribbean movie franchise Dead Men Tell No Tales. They also created the theme for Mortal Kombat 11, the latest instalment of the iconic video game series.

After a stellar rise in the scene for many years, their monumental single 'The Hum' starring Jean Claude Van Damme and Charlie Sheen in the music video scaled new heights. Netting the #1 spot in their native Belgium, the single went platinum, with the music video receiving over 200 million views online. The brothers repeated their magic touch on the Ne-Yo collaboration 'Higher Place', which spent ten weeks atop the Belgian singles chart and secured the #1 Billboard Dance Chart spot. They claimed the #1 spot again with the release of their Diplo collaboration 'Hey Baby' and then again when 'Selfish' featuring Era Istrefi secured the #1 position on the Billboard Dance Chart. Their summer 2017 single 'Complicated', with David Guetta and Kiiara, became one of the year's biggest hits with over 165 million streams on Spotify and 88 million YouTube views. The duo joined forces with W&W on 'Crowd Control', the sonic representation of their iconic dance move. Their involvement on the All-Star collaboration 'Instagram', which included David Guetta, Afro Bros, Daddy Yankee and Natti Natasha, gifted the scene with one of the biggest songs of the summer in 2019 and which currently sits at more than 280 million streams on Spotify. In 2020 they released this monster hit Do It! together with Kimberly Loaiza and Azteck. The single has received more than 235 million TikTok views and over 80 million total streams.

The launch of their yearly homecoming arena concert in 2013 was another example of their enduring appeal. Nearly a decade later and after 25 sold-out concerts, welcoming more than 500,000 fans, Dimitri and Mike had firmly brought the madness of the biggest annual arena show to Antwerp's Sportpaleis. However, it's their position as the ambassadors of the worldwide phenomenon Tomorrowland which has seen them grow to an unprecedented level of stature, playing their part in the incredible rise of the world-famous Belgian festival.

Dimitri and Mike are locking up more than 30 million fans on social media, combined with billions of music streams and video views. In the meantime, they tour the world, selling out stadiums and arenas with immersive live performances. From iconic clubs like Amnesia, Green Valley, Ministry of Sound and Ushuaïa Ibiza, where the duo holds a summer residency in partnership with Tomorrowland, to festival mainstages such as Airbeat One, Balaton Sound, Creamfields, EDC Las Vegas, Lollapalooza, Parookaville, Soundstorm, World Club Dome, Tomorrowland, Untold and many more.

With a globe-trotting tour schedule while running one of the most iconic record labels in the scene and producing some of the biggest electronic records of the past decade, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike have proved that together, they have what it takes to dominate the scene as they persistently strive to give their global fan base the best experience and memories feasible.
