Release Date: 25th September 2026
Listen/Stream: ‘Woops’ on Spotify
After months of dominating club sets, festival stages and social feeds worldwide, Dimitri Vegas, Bountyhunter and BRANDONhave officially released one of 2026’s most in-demand dance records, ‘Woops’, via Smash The House.
Previously circulating as a heavily sought-after ID, ‘Woops’ has become a defining track of the year before even reaching full release. The record reportedly ranked as the most-played track at both Ultra and Tomorrowland in 2026, a remarkable achievement that reflects its crossover appeal across the electronic music landscape.
Blending hard dance intensity, rave nostalgia, house groove and techno pressure, ‘Woops’ has found fans from underground dancefloors to the world’s biggest mainstages. Its instantly recognisable vocal moment — “Bring That Bass Back” — pairs with a high-impact drop designed to hit equally hard in an intimate warehouse setting or in front of a packed festival crowd.
Support From Across the Dance Music Spectrum
The track’s support list is a rare meeting point between electronic music’s underground leaders and global festival heavyweights. Artists including Anyma, Solomun, Dom Dolla, Charlotte de Witte, Amelie Lens, Vintage Culture, Eli Brown, Odd Mob, Chris Lake, Cloonee, Cassian, Miss Monique, Nico Moreno, Novah, Lilly Palmer, Kevin de Vries and CamelPhat have all helped push the record through sets around the world.
Meanwhile, the track has also been championed by major mainstage names such as Swedish House Mafia, Tiësto, The Chainsmokers, Armin van Buuren, Oliver Heldens, Diplo and Afrojack.
That wide-reaching support has turned ‘Woops’ into a genuine crossover moment — a record with the raw energy to work in harder underground environments while retaining the scale and immediacy needed for peak-time festival sets.
From Rave Roots to Viral Moment
The story behind ‘Woops’ is rooted in the legacy of Bountyhunter, whose influence on the Belgian hardcore and rave movement of the 1990s remains central to the record’s identity. The new version revisits that heritage through a contemporary lens, with Dimitri Vegas bringing his increasingly hard-edged festival sound and BRANDON injecting a bass-heavy house sensibility into the collaboration.
The result is a track that feels both nostalgic and forward-facing: a nod to the raw rave spirit of the past, rebuilt for the modern global dancefloor.
Outside of DJ sets, ‘Woops’ has developed into a major online phenomenon. The track has inspired billions of views and hundreds of thousands of TikTok creations, alongside tens of millions of YouTube views, more than 500,000 Shazams, and over 100 million total streams. It has also continued to make its presence felt on Beatport’s Hard Dance charts, repeatedly climbing into the Top 10.
Another Major Year for Dimitri Vegas
‘Woops’ arrives during an especially strong period for Dimitri Vegas, following the success of 2026 releases including ‘Turn The Tide’ and ‘Makina Time’. His recent output has seen him explore faster, tougher and more rave-focused sounds, opening up an exciting new chapter that bridges his stadium-sized instincts with harder club culture.
For Bountyhunter and BRANDON, the release brings together two complementary worlds: foundational Belgian rave influence and modern bass-driven club production. With all three artists contributing distinct elements, ‘Woops’ lands as more than a long-awaited ID — it is a fully realised crossover anthem built for the current dance music moment.
After a summer spent lighting up clubs, festivals and viral clips worldwide, ‘Woops’ is finally out of ID territory.
