Afrojack Teases New Music Over Instagram, Listen Here
Afrojack was a busy man today. He woke up in Chicago after playing Spring Awakening Music Festival and then had to jet over to New York City for a headlining show at Marquee NYC. He detailed the trip on his Instagram story. In between leaving for Chicago and arriving in NYC Afrojack was also able to tease a bit of new music that he is working on. No rest for the weary when you are a superstar DJ. Even on the plane traveling from gig to gig Afrojack found the time to continue to produce.
The clips are super brief. We get a bit of a build up and then a few seconds of the drop as well. The productions sounds more big room than the dutch house sound that we have come to associate with Afrojack. That being said it sounds all around euphoric and we are sure that when more work goes into this track that it will be an absolute giant. Check out the two teasers below.
Editor’s note: These teaser clips were originally hosted on vid.me, a video platform that shut down permanently in December 2017. No confirmed reupload of these specific Instagram-story teasers could be located, so the clips have been removed rather than replaced with a guess.
Afrojack Kept The Music Coming All Summer
This kind of on-the-go teasing was pretty on-brand for Afrojack during this stretch of his career, he’d built a reputation as one of the most relentlessly active producers in the scene, bouncing between festival mainstages and club headline sets while still finding time to tinker with new material between flights. Between Spring Awakening and a Marquee NYC headline slot in the same 24 hours, this snapshot is a good example of just how packed his touring schedule was during peak festival season.
Vid.me’s Shutdown Wiped Out A Lot Of Old EDM Content
Vid.me’s collapse in late 2017 ended up being a bigger loss for music blog archives than people probably realized at the time, the platform had been a popular alternative to YouTube for embedding teaser clips, Instagram story rips, and behind-the-scenes footage across a ton of EDM coverage from 2016 and 2017. Its shutdown left gaps like this one across plenty of older posts, a reminder of how much content tied to now-defunct platforms simply disappears once a company decides to close its doors.
