Bonzai Channel One

Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike continue their hot run of form on the release front as they team up with Bassjackers and Crossnaders to rework the classic ‘Bonzai Channel One’ anthem. Belgium’s favourite brothers have been busy at work during recent months of no touring, ensuring they stay ahead of the game and announcing huge new projects such as the recently formed Smash Universe agency, covering their passions for music, gaming and lifestyle. Dimitri Vegas was also revealed to have secured a role in the upcoming Jurassic World movie, as he continues to make his mark in the acting world. The boys have also been busy on the release front, with previous single ‘Do It!’ with Mexican influencer Kimberley Loaiza and new talent Azteck going viral, clocking over 40million views on TikTok in the first 24 hours, and has since amassed over 5 million streams on Spotify alone. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Bassjackers are regular collaborators, and that cohesion in the studio is evident on ‘Bonzai Channel One’, as they bring in Crossnaders to add something fresh to this classic. The collective spin the original, introducing the infamous synth line early on to crank up the intensity from the start alongside the well-known vocal. Expert use of time-stretching serves to whip fans into a frenzy in the breakdown, utilising the ‘zai’ vocal to speed up proceedings before the beat drops. A heavy kick provides the dancefloor energy, working with the synth to drive the track, before slowing down into the main break, taking fans on a rollercoaster of emotions before slowly teasing back into the high-octane action. Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike continue to harness their innate creativity by expanding and developing unique projects that innovate and continue to keep fans on their toes. Through recent collaborations with the likes of Regard, and having worked with standout names such as David Guetta, Daddy Yankee, Diplo, Snoop Dogg, Paris Hilton, Gucci Mane and Wiz Khalifa previously, that continuing desire to work with artists that inspire them allows for a constant evolution in sound that has consistently solidified their position at the top of dance music’s elite.
