NEW YORK, July 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dance music legends Dimitri Vegas & David Guetta are teaming up with American singer & actress Nicole Scherzinger and DJ/Producer Azteck to release the official music video for their addictive house single, "The Drop," available today on YouTube, HERE. The new track is the second official solo single from Dimitri Vegas and is an addictive and uplifting song for the Summer.

The animated music video transforms Dimitri Vegas, David Guetta, Nicole Scherzinger, and Azteck into comic book superhero versions of themselves in an adventurous fantasy world as they race to catch "the drop" while careening past volcanoes, dinosaurs, sea creatures, and more. The visual begins with Scherzinger summoning an energy orb, which floats and turns green before racing away. At that moment, two portals open and our heroes - cartoon versions of Dimitri Vegas and David Guetta - drop down, each in their own futuristic vehicles. Dimitri, in his "Vegas"-plated jet-propelled hover vehicle, races alongside Guetta, who jets in his motorcycle-styled speeder. As they chase the green orb off a ramp, over a dinosaur-embedded volcano, the drop explodes perfectly, just in time to see Guetta leaving his vehicle to catch the orb while flying through the air. Just as he seems to be getting away, Scherzinger transforms into a mythical creature as she trails Guetta's vehicle. The orb falls off the cliff and into the ocean, where a giant sea monster is lurking. Guetta emerges from the flames of his burning vehicle, scarred and weapon in hand, ready to take on the transformed dragon in a field of flames when Dimitri swoops in with his flying car and rescues him with the two flying away. To be continued…

Dimitri Vegas, David Guetta, Nicole Scherzinger, and Azteck have all released numerous hit songs in the past; however, it's the first time the four collaborated together to shake up the music industry. The collaboration of legendary dance music artists Dimitri Vegas and David Guetta with Pop superstar Nicole Scherzinger and new age DJ Azteck make for an ideal song to please their fans, both young and old. "The Drop'' starts with a solid electro drum beat that hits the soul with engaging lyrics by Scherzinger's distinctly harmonious vocals as it draws listeners into a break that head towards the climax of the track and more highly percussive beats. The addictive tune will keep fans fully immersed in its house music vibes as it ends; leaving the listener wanting more of this addictive tune.

ABOUT AZTECK
The British/Dutch producer and DJ Azteck has had a rapid ascent to success in a short amount of time.

Nevertheless, his experience in the music scene is enormous, as he has written and produced music for some major names out there. In addition, he collaborated on a large number of hits with some of the greatest names in the music industry, such as Armin van Buuren, Hardwell, Tiesto, Galantis, Benny Benassi, Lost Frequencies, Don Diablo, Sofia Carson, Pitbull, Wiz Khalifa and many more.

After operating at the top of the music industry, he took his first steps in 2020 and released music under his own name for the first time with his debut single 'Endlessly', which was a collaboration with AVIAN GRAYS on Armada Music. Azteck then followed up with a joint release with Hayden James titled 'Waves of Gold', followed by a team-up with EDM titan Afrojack and Chico Rose for 'Speechless'. Azteck closed 2020 with the bilingual anthem 'Do It' alongside former world No.1 DJ's Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Mexican singer and influencer Kimberly Loaiza.

Upon its release, 'Do It' received over 40 million views on TikTok in the first 24 hours and has since received over 252 million TikTok views, 45 million YouTube views and more than 12 million streams on Spotify.

2021 was a challenging year for many, however Azteck drew creativity and strength from it and released 'We'll be Dancing Soon', a follow-up collaboration between Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike and Angemi, which got selected by global beverage markers Coca-Cola to be a part of a European campaign. This campaign also featured Reggaeton superstar Maluma and Swedish pop queen Zara Larsson and was present in a host of countries that included Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Malta, Poland, Romania, Russia, Switzerland, and Ukraine. Later that year he also released 'Dance Tonight' with Timmy Trumpet and Darren Styles and 'Heaven' with Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike in 2022. From working with some of music's biggest names to being featured in campaigns for household brands, Azteck's early steps into making an impact all on his own have been nothing short of breathtaking. He will proudly present that impact this summer on festival grounds such as Neversea, Brisa Beach Party and the Holy Grounds of Tomorrowland. In addition, there are still a lot of upcoming releases on the agenda including artists as KSMR, Armin Van Buuren, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike, David Guetta and many more.
