Gobble Gobble Gobble. Looks like our Track of the Week fell on Thanksgiving this year!
Featuring Afrojack’s remix of ‘Cool’ as a Track of the Week was an unanimous decision. Rising artist like Afrojack remind me why I live and breathe the air of blissful audio waves. His music nestles right in there with a category of tunes I like to call bubbling and it mixes perfectly with the acid like tones of house, but also has the strength and power to match the electro scene. His remix of Riverside was one of the earlier tunes to catch my attention, but I still find myself playing out his Moombah remix and let us not forget his original hits too!
The ‘Cool’ remix contains many of the elements that make up my love and enjoyment of Afrojacks music. It has those bubbling tones and fun vocals, “So what I really wanna say is…” but most importantly his music never lets you get bored by conservatively switching things up throughout the song. The important thing to notice is Afrojack’s control, he plays with a great deal of elements that can be full blown abused, such as the sirens and bubbling wah wahs, but he keeps it together and at times where most artist would find themselves leaning on a particular sample for 3 minutes he knows exactly when to drop and breakdown each song.
