Afrojack is closing out 2012 with a bang to say the least. He has two massive shows coming up in New York, the Jacked NYE event as well as a show a night before with Diplo (newly announced). As the New Year rapidly approaches we have some new Afrojack music to throw your way. First there is ‘Air Guitar’ which many fans may have heard before, Nick confirmed the name during his guest mix for Danny Howard on BBC Radio 1. The record offers a a few nice melodies with an array of vocal twists, although there isn’t a release date set, we can expect it to drop on Wall Recordings soon.
Then we have his remix of Keane’s ‘Soverign Light Cafe’, in my opinion this production steps away from Afrojack’s traditional style. The chord progression and upbeat synth work fit the vocal seamlessly, making it hands down one of my favorite remixes going into the New Year. It will be released on December 24th. The last record we have to offer you is an original titled ‘As Your Friend’ featuring Chris Brown, it will be the first single off of Afrojack’s debut album. I’ll admit when I saw Chris Brown’s name I was skeptical, but after a few play throughs I believe this tune is something everyone can enjoy. The vocals aren’t over done and the sound is one hundred precent Afrojack, rule number one, never judge a book by it’s cover. Stream all three record below.
