Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike’s Sultry Latin-Influenced Single “Mexico”
Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike bring some sultry Latin influence again to their music on their new single, for which they teamed up with the iconic hitmaker NE-YO, Mexican juvenile phenomena Danna Paola, and enlisted a real Mexican mariachi band to infuse into “Mexico” an authentic Latin atmosphere. The track’s combination of stellar vocals by both NE-YO and Danna Paola and Dimitri & Mike’s organic, groovy melodies that bridge the gap between dance and pop truly steal the show, just like the woman in the track’s lyrics. “Mexico” is far from the big-room house tracks that the duo is well known for, but it shows their production prowess by exploring other genres and follows the sonic style of their recent dance-pop hit “Fuego” with Kim Loaiza. Whether you’re hitting the beach for a vacation in Tulum or merely imagining it, “Mexico” will pull you into a tequila-fueled, steamy, and tropical getaway. This is not the first time NE-YO joins Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike. In 2015 they teamed up to release “Higher Place,” which went Platinum and topped the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart.

Since their debut in 2007, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike have been making waves with hits like “The Hum,” “Higher Place” in collaboration with NE-YO, and “Hey Baby” with Diplo, all of which went Platinum and spent record amounts of time on the Billboard Dance charts. Further flexing their prowess, the brothers teamed up with Hans Zimmer for a rework of “Dead Men Tell No Tales” from the 5th installment of “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Then teamed up with David Guetta and Kiiara on “Complicated,” which has over 160M streams on Spotify and almost 90M Youtube views, and released one of the biggest songs of the summer 2019 – “Instagram,” which also featured David Guetta, Afro Bros, Daddy Yankee, and Natti Natasha. Pairing these chart-topping accomplishments with a packed tour schedule that has included Tomorrowland, EXIT festival, Creamfields, EDC Las Vegas, and more, the world has fallen in love with the duo’s high-energy performances and dynamic style. They have consistently been ranked on DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs and became the first duo to take the #1 spot, further flexing their prowess by teaming up with hitters like Wiz Khalifa, Snoop Dogg, Martin Garrix, Steve Aoki, Afrojack, Fatboy Slim to Lil Jon, and remixing superstars like Coldplay, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Chainsmokers, Major Lazer and many more. Last year, they finished at #5, clearly showing they are among the most recognizable artists in the history of dance music. Always evolving with the times, clocking up 30 million fans on social media, combined with billions of music streams and video views of their live performances and music, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike are certainly ones to watch for many more years to come.
