Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike Team Up With W&W For Festival Anthem “Crowd Control”
Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike are back and teamed up with W&W for what is sure to be another Festival Banger. Lie, it already is a Festival Banger. The “Arcade” artists have come back for more with their latest hit “Crowd Control”.
If you’ve made it out for 2017 Festival Season, you have heard this song. Like, “Arcade” this track is nothing short of Big Room brilliance. Opening with that hard bass that we know and love from these artists it transitions into the shut down of bass and electric build into the “OKAY, HERE WE GO!”. Being instructed to “Move it to the left left left left, Move it to the right right right right!” may be dangerous while operating a motor vehicle so please be safe with your passion here. Could get sticky…
In all this track has mass live stage appeal and will be blessing your favorite mainstages and clubs for years to come. Artist across the World have incorporated this into sets to see literally hundreds of thousands o f people jumping side to side. Truly amazing.
The tag team duo is back, and we are not worthy. Yo, also check out the Lollapalooza drop of this heater. Absolute chaos. I think I just wet his pants.
A Collaboration Built On Years Of History
Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and W&W had already crossed paths repeatedly on festival lineups and back-to-back sets long before “Crowd Control” dropped, so the chemistry behind this record wasn’t a surprise to anyone who’d followed either act closely. Both acts had built their reputations on big room house engineered specifically for maximum crowd participation, chants, call-and-response moments, synchronized arm movements, so pairing up for a track that leaned all the way into that formula made total sense. “Crowd Control” became a natural fit for the kind of festival-headliner sets both acts were already known for.
Big Room’s Festival Dominance Explained
Tracks like this one are a good reminder of why big room house held such a tight grip on mainstage festival culture for years, the genre is built almost entirely around live crowd interaction rather than just headphone listening. A chant-heavy drop translates instantly to tens of thousands of people jumping in unison, which is exactly the kind of moment festival promoters want headlining on their biggest stages. “Crowd Control” earning that kind of longevity in DJ sets years after release says a lot about how well Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and W&W understood the assignment when they built this one.
