Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike are a Belgian DJ and record producer duo composed of brothers Dimitri Thivaios and Michael Thivaios. They are ranked second on DJ Mag's 2016 Top 100 DJs list.

Dimitri and Michael Thivaios are Greece-born brothers who grew up in the Flemish town of Willebroek. They began to make their first steps as DJ's reportedly at a young age. Very quickly, they made several appearances in small clubs and were resident BeatFM radio DJs. Dimitri then left Flanders in 1999 and began touring Europe. He lived in Mallorca and then in Halkidiki, Greece before moving to Ibiza in 2003, where he was a resident in major clubs such as Privilege and Space.

After living in Mallorca and on the Canary Islands, he settled in Zante, Greece where he was a resident of Amnesia and The End in 2006. In autumn 2006, Dimitri returned to Belgium to work with his brother Mike, and produced their first release "La Cocaina (Eivissa 2007)". His remix of "Work That Body", 2008 caught the attention of Axwell, who entrusted them with a remix of "Rotterdam City of Love" by Abel Ramos for his label Axtone.

They appeared as Tomorrowland Hosts for the first time and were allowed to make the anthem of the festival, this was "Tomorrow (Give in to the Night)" with Dada Life and Tara McDonald, which was released by the label of the duo, Smash The House. Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike returned to make the anthem, this time with Afrojack and NERVO. The single was called "The Way We See the World". "Tomorrow Changed Today" was the anthem for the 2012 edition of the festival. For the 2013 edition of Tomorrowland, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike made the anthem "Chattahoochee". This single, released by Smash The House / Spinnin' Records, arrived at number one in Beatport in less than 3 days. In 2014, their single 'Tremor' - a collaboration with Martin Garrix saw busting Charts and became a huge sensation at Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival.
