Afrojack Brings His High Energy to Houston at Cle
Afrojack, the world-renowned Dutch DJ, remixer and record producer, takes the Clé stage on Friday, Dec. 9 for HOT 95-7’s Ho Ho Ho Holiday Show.Since breaking out in 2007 with his first single “In Your Face,” Afrojack has become a dance music powerhouse who draws in massive crowds.
In 2010 Afrojack released “Take Over Control” featuring fellow Dutch artist Eva Simmons. The song was an international hit when it charted in 10 countries and spent six weeks at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Airplay chart. “Take Over Control” was Afrojack’s introduction to mainstream audiences, which allowed dance music lovers to get familiar with his electro and progressive house sound.
Afrojack has been nominated and awarded numerous distinctions, including DJ Magazine’s Top 100 DJ Poll, where he was ranked the No. 7 DJ in 2011. That was a busy year for Afrojack, as he was a contributor to the Beyoncé single “Run the World (Girls),” which was released that same year. In addition, Afrojack has collaborated with many artists including Madonna and the chart-topper himself, David Guetta.
Afrojack’s latest single, “Used To Have It All,” is a collaboration with Fais, a signee on his record label, Wall Recordings. “Used To Have It All” is a progressive dance track with Afrojack’s signature synths, uptempo vocals and beats. Will he play the single at Clé? I guess you’ll have to be there to see.
