VIDEO Wherever you go and perform, the people are trying to leave who they are for a second and enjoy your music.
Do you think your environment plays a key in creating and performing music? I don't believe in that bullshit. I make all kinds of music in different kinds of places on my laptop. Mostly on a plane or in a car and usually finish it in my studios in Amsterdam or in L. Some people need to travel to certain locations around the world to get their creative mind activated to make a song or an album, but I'm a firm believer of learning to control that part of your brain and just work wherever by envisioning being somewhere and capturing a moment without actually being there.
You just have to allow yourself to be free. That's a pretty mature response coming from someone who's been doing this since a teen. What your thoughts on EDM's current influence on all genres? While touring a lot you come across so many people.
Especially at festivals. You'll have like over 50, people come there because they like your music or David Guetta's music or Skrillex music. It all falls under one big moniker. It's dance music. I don't even call it EDM anymore because it doesn't particularly have to sound electronic. Technically, most music now is made electronically, whether it's rap or rock, they record everything on a computer, so names don't matter what act is playing because everyone will move the same if it's good.
With that said, there really isn't a moniker or genre to describe good music. Either you like it or you don't. Do you think "dance music" will continue to evolve and influence all music or eventually fade out? Of course. You often hear about certain things being just "hype," but it's really hype unless you're a person who doesn't appreciate it because they see it get big and then it goes away.
It doesn't necessarily disappear or is dead when the media stops talking about it. Like all these acts from different genres are still touring all over the world, no matter what. Like when people say "Rock is dead. Music always continues to grow. Do you feel that artists should take responsibility for their influence on people in general? Yes, but one should stick up for the other. That's the reason I call my music Afrojack music.
If you listen to some of my songs, could you describe it? Is it trap? Is it pop? No, it's a mix of some of those things. That has always been my thing. Crossover music. I want people to turn up without saying "turn up". You know, a strong, positive feeling that can only be described through a facial expression like "Oooo! But what really gets me "turnt" is watching new shows from artists and fellow DJ's. Even movies, like Inception or the Conjuring films. I love scary movies. I'll know it because I tend to do this thing where if I really like something I'll get up and I'll run in a little touchdown circle and sit back down.
I do the same thing when I'm the studio with a certain artist. Like a Rammstein show, moments like that make me think "How the fuck did they come up with that? It's genius" and that really excites me. What did you think about the ending of Inception? Did you think Leo was still dreaming?
After I watched the film for the first time,I watched the film 20 times to wrap my brain around it and keep up with it only to find out that I didn't really care about the ending because it's not about that. It's just a great film. All rights reserved. The Netherlands is home to some of the most successful DJs and producers in the world, and Afrojack is one of the country's true headliners.
