The trio of Dimitri Vegas, Like Mike and Quintino come together for their first release of 2021 on Smash the House records. ‘Back To The Oldskool’ is a combination of their many years, and various influences, following their musical passion, dance music! 

From its Thunderdrome-esque intro to the building ravey bass rumble which is ignited by Hot Streak’s iconic 1983 Body Work sample “Music Makes You Lose Control”, that’s been a prominent feature on every dancefloor imaginable. The track launches into a techno-infused dose of industrial arrangement, with faint hardcore sonics, before combining in the break and then unleashing its total might with a gusty psy-trance bassline to round up the songs trip ‘Back To The OldSkool’.

Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike remained ever busy in 2020 with an impressive output of music coming from the Belgian electronic titans. From releasing singles such as ‘The Anthem’ with Timmy Trumpet and ‘Clap Your Hands’ with Fedde Le Grand and W&W, to dropping ‘Get in Trouble’ with Vini Vici. The brother also released a collaboration with Regard titled ‘Say My Name’ which currently sits at 38 million Spotify streams. Dimitri & Mike also teamed up with Mexican singer/influencer Kimberly Loaiza and Belgian producer Azteck for ‘Do It!’. The single received over 50 million TikTok views within 24 hours and has so far received more than 235 million views on the social media platform; leading it to trend in Latin America and the US. From headlining Tomorrowland – Around the World digital festival during the summer and then featuring again for Tomorrowland’s New Year’s Eve digital edition, the brothers did their best to ensure that fans had much to party about during the lockdown period. Even dropping an all-star Christmas album via their label Smash The House.

Fellow collaborator Quintino’s is one of the most prominent faces in the Top100DJs Poll. From dropping his long-awaited debut album, ‘Bright Nights’ at the tail end of 2019, which was met with a wave of fan support earning an impressive 100million+ streams by the summer of 2020. Quintino was also working hard in the studio on new material tracks like ‘Get You Home’ and ‘Out of This World’ feat KiFi on Spinnin’, ‘Ruins’ on Smash The House and his remix of Tiësto and Vintage Culture’s ‘Coffee’ for Musical Freedom.

They also created the theme for Mortal Kombat 11, the latest instalment of the iconic video game series.
