AFROJACK X G-STAR RAW: NEW COLLECTION ANNOUNCED FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2016

G-Star is happy to announce its third collection with collaborator and Grammy Award-winning DJ/Producer, Afrojack.

The Afrojack X G-Star RAW collection consists of 10 items including hoodies, tees, caps, sweatpants and a satin bomber jacket. It will be available as of April 8, 2016 in G-Star stores worldwide and on g-star.com 

Afrojack says: “G-Star and I come from the same belief in the power of music in connecting people. This shared philosophy is why I was excited to work with them again in a new, different way because clothing has that same magic.”

The collection is based on the approach the DJ takes when deciding what to wear on stage – garments he feels most confident and comfortable in. Taking inspiration from American sportswear with a twist, the range also includes Afrojack’s interpretation of the iconic G-Star RAW Elwood jean. His version of the Elwood features a unique 7/8 length with a sports elasticated waist.

The collection will be officially launched at G-Star’s Miami store on 17th March 2016, during the Miami Music Conference.

Afrojack partners with up-and-coming singer/songwriter Fais on “Hey”

The childhood friends unveil a lovestruck, big-room ballad along with music video starring Instagram couple Alexis & Jay

Superstar producer Afrojack is known for culling upcoming talent from the masses to develop on his label Wall Recordings, and singer/songwriter Fais is no different. The 25-year-old crooner happens to be from the same childhood neighborhood as Afrojack, and since reconnecting as adults the two music-makers have been inseparable in the studio, leading to their collaborative effort “Hey.”

The lovestruck, big-room ballad is a feel-good singalong dripping in ethereal piano chords and melodic flute solos, anchored by Fais’ thick, rapturous vocals. It’s the type of song that will touch your soul while simultaneously making you want to hit the dance floor to revel in its blissed out buoyancy.

Fais has accompanied Afrojack on his recent world tours, performing “Hey” live to throngs of adoring fans. The born musician has been growing his skills since an early age, blossoming a driving voice and shrewd piano skills which he uses to support himself and write his songs on. Inspired by the sounds of pop and soul legends like Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson, it’s no wonder that Afrojack’s ear was caught by Fais’ powerful pipes.

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.
