Whats That Sound

Whats that sound? was exactly what I thinking when I saw this interview with Afrojack.... Size records is taking on his new Ibiza bomb track inspired by Mr Steve Angello.....

1. For those people who might not know you, please introduce yourself…
Waddup, this is Afrojack, this time with a new sound.

2. How’s the year treating you so far?
I’ve been making music for the past 3 years professionally, going well so far!

3. Tell us about the new single. Pacha’s not somewhere you’d normally associate with acid…
Nope its not, Mr David Guetta asked me to play in Ibiza with him on the FMIF closing party, and figured I needed to make something that would fit in to Pacha, but a little bit too hard (I like that), then I thought hmmm there hasn’t been something like Steve Angello’s Teasing Mr Charlie for sooo long, and thought lets do something like that! And it’s not about the drug acid, but about the sound! The track worked its magic in Pacha Ibiza and it was even cooler Steve eventually asked me if he could release it on his label, seeing the inspiration came from there!

4. Will you be out in Ibiza this year? Where’s your favourite place on the island?
Yes!! My favourite places are Mambo, Pacha and the big Amnesia club, had some amazing times there especially in the last two, also DC10 used to be a killer party!! Too bad it’s closed, will be playing in Pacha and Eden this year for sure, all the rest I can’t say anything yet.

5. Everyone’s gearing up for Miami at the moment…what’s your take on the WMC?
This is actually the first year I’m doing some of the gigs there! I have made like a small track for WMC, but I’m not “trying” to make that anthem, I’m more interested in meeting my favourite producers and maybe hooking up with them in the studio, and of course some major fun parties, it’s like a big DJ field trip!

6. What have you got planned for the rest of the year?
I just got in my USA working permit so will do a lot of tours there, gonna fly a lot in Europe, and going back to Australia at the end of the year too, outside of that a lot of big studio sessions with big guys, and I’ve also started producing for pop artists which is really fun to do! That also gives me a fresh look on dance music which can inspire me if the four to the floor doesn’t do it for me one day..

7. Anything else you’d like to tell us about…?
Yes, soon there will be a reaaaally special studio session, going in with Mr Steve Angello himself!!



AFROJACK - PACHA ON ACID by sizerecords


Definitely a different sound, but as he said Teasing Mr Charlie needed a reworking of some kind. Also speaking of the WMC, all the artists usually get their tunes of the year ready for this. As this is the most influential festival of the year, in the dance world.

March 23rd marks the 25th anniversary, and with lineups like this.... tickets for delegates start at like $250 and that was 4 months ago, then flights, drinks.... pricey. But all these artists will probably play their newest and best work for the year at one or all of the events.

Dirty South has this ready for the WMC 2010.
