Background

[edit]

The creator of the track "Tsunami" was initially unknown. The single, which had been widely played at festivals for months, had been released and promoted by DJ Sander van Doorn, although he denied being the producer.[1]

Radio DJ Pete Tong confirmed the song to be the work of DVBBS and Borgeous when he played it on his show on BBC Radio 1 on August 16, 2013.[2] Billboard magazine called it "the most played tune at [2013's] Tomorrowland", a Belgian electronic music festival.[1] It was officially released on Doorn Records on August 19, 2013.[1][3]


A week later, it reached number one on the Beatport 100.[4]

In 2014 Army Football used Tsunami for its kick off song for home games per recommendation of Army Football S&C staff (Tim Caron, Will Greenberg, Darren Mustin, Brian Philips). Starting in the 2015–16 NHL season, the Vancouver Canucks play "Tsunami" whenever forward Jared McCann scores a goal at Rogers Arena, as part of their system of using personalized goal songs for each player.[5]

Starting in the 2019 MLB season, the Philadelphia Phillies play "Tsunami" whenever a Phillie hits a home run.[6]

The Jay Cosmic remix of "Tsunami" is the entrance song for Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Jordan Romano.[7]

Played during football games, especially during kickoffs, by cadets of United States Military Academy at West Point, New York.[8]
