A Two-Man Show Dimitri Thivaios of Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike talks about their rise to fame in the world of EDM Words by Claudia Paredes Photo credit: Boy Kortekaas & Rutger Geerling From a young age, Dimitri Thivaios, known on stage as Dimitri Vegas, knew that he was going to be a DJ—what he didn't know was that he would do it with his brother by his side. Mike Thivaios, Dimitri's younger brother, known as Like Mike, is the other half of DVLM. "It all came really organically. I started DJing when I was 13-14 years old, and Mike started in hip-hop when he was younger. At a certain point, I got a residency at Ibiza and Mike was actually selling tickets for the club. One night, he started MCing overmy beat and it went down so great that we said, 'We've got something here.' From that moment on we decided to work together," says Dimitri. And so, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike was born –also known as DVLM.
