Afrojack celebrates Beatport #1 with free 2016 WALL Mixtape

The mighty Afrojack is celebrating landing another Beatport #1 by releasing a new mixtape packed full of exclusive tracks.

His Hollywood collaboration with Hardwell has hit the top spot in the download store’s overall sales chart, and he’s decided to thank his fans with the free Afrojack 2016 WALL Mixtape today.

The mix contains brand new tracks from Afrojack himself that have never been heard online previously, plus plenty of other hot-off-the-press bangers with his producer friends and colleagues across the world – including Laidback Luke, Ravitez, D.O.D., Twista, Travis Barker, Apster and MC Ambush. It’s also makes for an energy-packed way to celebrate getting through the first month of the year!

The mixtape is the latest gesture from Afrojack to show his appreciation for his loyal legion of fans. Last weekend he invited 10 lucky winners to join him in Las Vegas for his set at his Omnia residency, and you can bet there will be plenty more special ‘thank-yous’ as 2016 rolls on.

The monstrous Hollywood combines spine-tingling trance melodies, big riffs with raucous, raw synth blasts, a distinctive vocal hook and plenty of clever production to create one of the year’s first big dancefloor bombs. It’s been an anthem in the duo’s respective sets since summer 2015, and it’s no surprise that this meeting of two of the sharpest minds in EDM has brought about such epic results.
