Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike have signed with Independent Artist Group for representation, which is probably less about a change in direction and more about updating the machinery behind one of dance music’s most persistent export operations.
The Belgian-Greek brothers have built their careers on scale: crowd sizes, BPMs, and enough pyrotechnics to register on climate maps. Ranked No. 1 on DJ Mag’s Top 100 list in both 2015 and 2019 (and reliably hovering around No. 2 in between), they’ve been EDM royalty for over a decade—and like most royalty, their empire runs on infrastructure. Smash The House, their label founded in 2010, still churns out festival bait with algorithmic precision.
Their catalog includes massive crossover moments like “Tremor” with Martin Garrix and “Higher Place” with Ne-Yo, but the real asset is their presence. Think Tomorrowland, Creamfields, EDC, UNTOLD, and Parookaville, plus a residency at Ushuaïa Ibiza that may as well come with equity. Their stage persona—part hype-man, part war general—has become synonymous with EDM’s stadium era. They’re also one-third of DJ supergroup “3 Are Legend” with Steve Aoki, which basically translates to a flash mob with a rider.
This move to Independent Artist Group doesn’t signal a reinvention so much as a recalibration. They’re still managed by One World Artists and repped by Urban Rebel for PR. The strategy here isn’t about entering new markets—it’s about making sure no existing market gets left behind.
So yes, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike have new agents. But they’re not pivoting—they’re optimizing. Because in 2025, EDM isn’t about going louder. It’s about staying everywhere.
