How Afrojack’s New Song With David Guetta Could Revitalize the Lost Art of Progressive Rave Music

There’s no limit to the impact of a collaborative song created by artists like Afrojack and David Guetta, two godfathers of modern dance music. Their relationship is actually like a day in the life of a parent. It’s unpredictable, but it gets better and better with age. Guetta and Afrojack have linked up more times in the last decade than breakups and ice cream. And each time seems to give rise to a different kind of sound, triggered by an innate propensity to take risks. They’ve now joined forces once again to test the waters of a risky sonic direction—albeit a familiar one. Afrojack and Guetta today released “Hero,” a soaring progressive house track that turns back the clock to the early 2010s, when the genre dominated the festival circuit à l...

You Can Win a Private DJ Set From Afrojack by Pre-Saving His New Collab With David Guetta

Though the announcement was initially teased somewhat abstractly, the track seems to be further along than initially anticipated. In fact, a new pre-sa...

Afrojack to Perform at The Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final

Afrojack has been slated to perform in the Grand Final of the upcoming Eurovision Song Contest, which is scheduled to take place in Rotterdam next month. Dance music is one of the Netherlands’ most notable exports, so it’s no surprise the show will feature one of the most prolific names from the genre to play a pivotal role in the famed European song competition.

The act will start off with an orchestral arrangement as a film from Director Tim Oliehoek will showcase Rotterdam’s landmark sites on screen. The handoff to Afrojack will bring the performance to a climax, a profound reminder o...
