Dutch DJ and Producer, Afrojack, was born Nick van de Wall in September of 1987, which makes him only a few months older than me... He was always listening to music as a child, and began using the music program Fruity Loops at age 11. Through lots of hard work and experience he has climbed the ranks of the DJ and Producing worlds. He set up his own record label as well, Wall Recordings, and such rising talents as R3hab and Sidney Samson are signed to it. He is very dedicated to production, and just when he started getting recognition back in 2006, he began producing as much as possible. After his collaboration with Partysquad on "Drop Down (Do My Dance)" which made the Dutch top 20 in 2008, he got recognition for big time electronic artists. David Guetta collaborated with him on "Toyfriend" and Afrojack remixed Guetta's "Sexy Bitch". Afrojack start touring extensively, getting invited to many large festivals, and most recently was ranked number 7 by DJ Mag's Top 100 DJs of 2011. His track "Take Over Control" ft. Eva Simons is still a huge hit and he will be sure to mix it into his set.
The best slice of Afrojack I've heard so far is his 34 minute set from Amsterdam Dance Event in October of 2011:
