Dimitri Vegas Brings His New Sound to “Woops”

With his remix of “Woops,” which he co-created with Junkie Kid, Dimitri Vegas has once again taken the top spot on Beatport’s Hard Dance chart.

For the Belgian producer, this shows how a skillfully done remix can give a raving classic fresh life.

The idea for the remix came from Dimitri Vegas’ wish to add his own touch to one of his favorite songs from the heyday of the rave scene. The relationship between this release and his vinyl-only performance concept at Tomorrowland’s Mainstage—a daring step in an increasingly digital festival landscape—makes it especially noteworthy.

The song has maintained significant momentum on a number of platforms since its release. The data speaks for itself: steady daily Spotify growth, viral TikTok and Instagram moments, and over a year of dominance in Beatport’s top 10.

The song’s appeal goes far beyond Dimitri Vegas’ individual performances. Hard techno heavyweights like Sara Landry, DYEN, Fantasm, Nico Moreno, NOVAH, Maddix, and MANDY have all embraced it and used it in their performances.
