Discovery of talented duo Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike are another duo formed by Steve and Ruben under the stage name of Wolfpack. Early in on their career they have achieved notable success with their debut release on ‘Smash The House’, ‘Rising Moon’, but also a remix for none other than Billboard heavyweight and US chart royalty Timbaland, Missy Elliott and Ginuwine’s as they relicked their global smash hit ‘Get Involved!’
This talented act, who hail from Dimitri and Mike’s hometown of Willebroek, rapidly becoming the epicentre of rising musical talent in Belgium, have been described by the brothers as ‘diamonds in the rough’ and ‘one of the most promising talents around’. “When we caught them live they just blew us away,” said Dimitri Vegas, “but then when we listened to their productions we were like, wow! We knew if we didn’t sign them up to Smash The House there and then, someone else would and we’d be left kicking ourselves for not being quick enough.”
Where does the name come from?
Steve: Actually came from the film ‘Hangover’. Those guys were kind of like us. Always doing shit together and taking care of each other.
Together you from Wolfpack how did you two meet and what lead to the forming of Wolfpack?
We met at a very young age, when we were still going to school. Our passion has always been music and that’s how we ended up working together as Wolfpack.

We know Dimitri and Mike since we were 14 years old as we lived in the same town. Three years ago we became second on a dj-contest which gave us a spot on Tomorrowland. Dimitri and Mike noticed our set and gave us the awesome opportunity to sign us to “Smash the House”.
