We caught up with Dimitri this week and requested him to speak us by way of ten of the most well liked tracks from the soundtrack of the high-octane film.

The playlist options a great deal of nice dance music from the likes of Vitality 52 by Café Del Mar and Push by Common Nation.

Pay attention under and skim what Dimitri needed to say in regards to the choice.

Vitality 52 – Café Del Mar

In all probability certainly one of my all-time favourite tracks of all time and one of many very first vinyls I ever purchased once I first began out within the early 90’s. It’s been a part of my units for the previous 25 years, and we just lately even did a 2022 rework on this one for our Ushuaïa Ibiza Residency.

Tïësto – Adagio For Strings

One other timeless document – we picked this one for essentially the most emotional scene of the film – a scene I put a variety of my grief and feelings in after dropping my father e few days earlier than the film was initially supposed to start out capturing.

Darude – Sandstorm

Sandstorm grew to become a meme when it grew to become the usual reply for when somebody requested the track title beneath a video or publish – but it surely’s additionally probably the most legendary tracks of its time… it matched the vitality of the film so nicely we even used it for the trailer.

ATB – 9PM (Until I Come)

We got here up for this track alternative whereas capturing the precise scene… the director requested me if I had a track in thoughts that might work – and by some means, the ‘Until I Come’ hook instantly got here to thoughts. Why that’s precisely… you’ll simply have to see the film, because it’s probably the most bonkers intercourse scenes of all time, I feel lol.

The Age Of Love – The Age Of Love (Jam & Spoon Remix)

We simply collaborated with The Age Of Love for a brand new model of the document, one thing that went down rather well at Tomorrowland this 12 months – it was additionally the right alternative for the moody scene that brings our principal character Noah to the state of affairs that messes up all the things for him and kicks the film within the subsequent gear.

Push – Common Nation

One other all-time favourite of mine and one of many largest Trance tracks to ever come out of Belgium – we had a variety of backwards and forwards over what the right track was to conclude the film with… and Push’ moody vibe received by a landslide.

Scoop – Drop It

We picked a variety of Belgian classics for the film, and that is one other a kind of evergreen tracks that kicks off the film.

Krid Snero – White Line

Bonzai Data at its most interesting – the drive and bassline of this loopy anthem labored wonderful for the largest automotive chase sequence of the film, by way of Antwerp’s pedestrian tunnel.

Digital Zone – Digital Zone

I made a playlist with about 50 rave classics, and director Jonas Govaerts instantly picked this one for the film’s intro. Though I initially needed one other monitor to open the film – I needed to agree with him this was simply the right match.

Dave Davis – Transfiguration

Extra Bonzai information warmth from Belgium, we selected a lesser-known onerous trance banger for this sequence. Its enormously quick melody pulls you in instantly and works rather well for that second within the film
