In a recent interview with MixMag, Afrojack talked about his new album which will be released off of Island Def Jam Records. Supposedly Afrojack's forthcoming album has “almost no drops” making it very different from his previous releases. “The album is not meant to be put on at a festival to jump to for 70 minutes. My album is meant, as most musical albums are meant, to listen to and enjoy. I want it to be an experience,” he continues. “To me a good album is like a good movie. I hope my album will be at least as good as the trailer for [the movie] Inception. It has the build-ups and it has a lot of musical stuff, it’s like a journey, you go a little bit through different kinds of genres,” said Afrojack. In fact it seems like many of the artists focused on drops alone in the past will be moving in a new direction.
Afrojack went on to say later on in the interview that “before I'm 30 I want to take EDM to a Jay Z level… like ‘EDM's so hard mother*ckers wanna find me!”
Do you like the direction some of the EDM artists are going with in terms of limited drops?
