Dimitri Vegas, one half of the world-famous DJ duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, is embarking on a thrilling new chapter in his career. With the release of Vinyl Only – Live at Tomorrowland, Dimitri showcases his passion for the roots of DJ culture and the artistry of analogue sound. This bold solo endeavor marks a departure from his usual dynamic alongside his brother, Like Mike, and highlights a deeper, more personal connection to the music that shaped him.
At Tomorrowland last summer, Dimitri Vegas electrified the crowd with an unforgettable “vinyl only” set during The Gathering. This unique performance was a celebration of the tactile, human element of DJing—a contrast to today’s digitally dominated music scene. For Dimitri, vinyl is more than a format; it’s an experience.
This passion for vinyl is rooted in his early days, long before global stardom, when Dimitri spent his time—and every penny—building a record collection that immersed him in the underground sounds of techno, trance, and rave. With Vinyl Only – Live at Tomorrowland, he revisits those formative years, drawing inspiration from the trailblazing Bonzai Records label and the birthplace of rave culture.
The album is a treasure trove of 21 meticulously curated tracks that blend the timeless energy of electronic music’s golden era with modern flair. Dimitri revisits iconic tracks like Yves Deruyter’s Back To Earth, The Darkman’s Illegale, and Cherrymoon Trax’s Acid Dream, infusing them with fresh vitality while preserving their original spirit. Standout reimaginings like The Age of Love by Age of Love serve as a testament to Dimitri’s ability to bridge past and present.
But Vinyl Only – Live at Tomorrowland isn’t just a look back. Dimitri introduces listeners to rising stars like Creeds and Per Pleks, pairing their innovative sounds with established legends like Armin van Buuren to create a thrilling mix of nostalgia and forward-thinking energy.
