Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike‘s recently concluded India tour (Hyderabad and Mumbai) with Sunburn Festival saw hordes of fans turn out to see the Belgian brothers wreak havoc with their sets. With state of the art visual production and a high intensity set, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike made sure that everyone in the crowd would go back with a wide smile on their faces.
In an interview with The Hindu before their performance in Hyderabad, the Thivaios brothers discussed their love for India, plans to feature in Bollywood and much more. Check out a few excerpts from the interview below.
When asked about what attracts them to India, they said:
India is one of our favourite countries to perform in. It’s always good to come back, the warmth of the fans is very addictive! We owe a part of our success to Indian fans because they supported us when we weren’t big and we will always be loyal to them.
We have some great memories attached to the country. India is culturally diverse and welcomes every artiste with such hospitality. We are back here every year for this very same reason.
Discussing the chances of a possible collaboration with Indian artists, they revealed:
We love Bollywood and are open to exploring synergies. Given a chance, we may even love to do a cameo in a film. We are relying on Salman Khan for that, who’s a good friend.
We have heard of A.R Rahman, Arijit Singh. Indian sounds are so layered, especially the classical tunes. It would be quite interesting to add those beats in, at some point, to our album
Talking about their sibling bond, the duo say:
We’ve grown up together, gone clubbing together and explored the island of Ibiza together. We bring something different to our stage show because we have different ideas and a different approach to it. You can see that in the way we are on stage. I suppose this is what makes us stand out from other artists.
We’re brothers so naturally have a good connection which helps a lot. There’s no time to be doing anything else. You see, music is a passion more than profession for both us.
