Keeping up with the increasingly flourishing trend of DJ’s no longer wanting their productions to be confined to commercial EDM specifically, Dutch DJ/producer Afrojack has said his new forthcoming album has almost no drops. In a recent interview, the ‘Grammy Award‘ winning artist said that the upcoming album seems set to shock his fans and peers in the industry as well.

The Dutchman said that, “It’s like upside down world, it’s completely crazy. My whole album has almost no drops”. Further adding that, “The album is not meant to be put on at a festival to jump to for 70 minutes. My album is meant, as most musical albums are meant, to listen to and enjoy. I want it to be an experience”.

He continued expressing his thoughts and said that, “To me a good album is like a good movie. I hope my album will be at least as good as the trailer for [the movie] Inception. It has the build-ups and it has a lot of musical stuff, it’s like a journey, you go a little bit through different kinds of genres”. Catering to ravers concerns, however, Afrojack added that he would also be remixing the album for the purpose of festivals and the like.

Having turned 26 close to the end of last year, he then went on to speak about what he envisioned for himself and the dance music industry by the time he turned 30, in the next four years saying that, “I just hope I get my shit together before I’m 30…big shit. I already do a lot of balling things but before I’m 30 I want to take EDM to a Jay Z level… like ‘EDM’s so hard motherf*ckers wanna find me!”.
