After a months-long run as one of dance music’s most requested unreleased records, Dimitri Vegas, Bountyhunter and BRANDON have officially delivered their huge collaborative single, ‘Woops’.
Released through Smash The House, the track arrives following a summer of relentless DJ support, viral momentum and festival exposure. What began as a standout ID in sets has evolved into one of 2026’s defining crossover dance records, connecting the high-energy world of hard dance with house, techno and classic Belgian rave influences.
According to the release campaign, ‘Woops’ was the most-played record at both Ultra Music Festival and Tomorrowland in 2026 — an indication of just how quickly it has travelled through the global electronic music circuit.
The record’s reach is reflected in the range of artists supporting it. Underground and club-focused selectors including Anyma, Solomun, Charlotte de Witte, Amelie Lens, Dom Dolla, Chris Lake, Eli Brown, Cloonee, Cassian, CamelPhat, Kevin de Vries, Lilly Palmer, Miss Monique, Vintage Culture, Odd Mob, Nico Moreno and Novah have incorporated it into their sets. At the same time, mainstage stars such as Swedish House Mafia, Tiësto, Armin van Buuren, The Chainsmokers, Diplo, Oliver Heldens and Afrojack have also been championing the track.
That level of support has helped make ‘Woops’ more than just another festival ID. It has become a genuine dancefloor moment, equally at home in dark club rooms, high-speed rave sets and peak-time festival slots.
At its core, ‘Woops’ brings together three distinct creative identities. Bountyhunter supplies the rave DNA, with the record drawing upon his influential history in Belgium’s 1990s hardcore and rave scene. Dimitri Vegas adds a contemporary, high-impact energy shaped by his increasingly fast and hard-edged recent productions. BRANDON, meanwhile, brings bass-led house dynamics to the collaboration, including the track’s memorable “Bring That Bass Back” vocal hook.
The finished result is a powerful fusion of old-school rave attitude and modern festival production — a record built around a simple, infectious concept but delivered with enough weight to work across multiple corners of dance music.
The anticipation surrounding ‘Woops’ has extended far beyond the DJ booth. The record has generated billions of views across social platforms, hundreds of thousands of TikTok creations, tens of millions of YouTube views and more than 500,000 Shazams. Having already amassed over 100 million total streams, the track has also maintained a recurring presence in Beatport’s Hard Dance Top 100, regularly returning to the Top 10.
For Dimitri Vegas, the release marks another major moment in a standout 2026. Following the impact of ‘Turn The Tide’ and ‘Makina Time’, ‘Woops’ continues his move toward tougher, faster and more rave-inspired sounds without sacrificing the larger-than-life energy that has made him a fixture on the world’s biggest stages.
After months of online speculation, festival plays and dancefloor reactions, the wait is finally over.
Dimitri Vegas, Bountyhunter & BRANDON – ‘Woops’ is out now on Smash The House.
