3. Lana Del Rey – Young and Beautiful (Afrojack Queens Gatsby Remix)

It is needless to say that Lana Del Rey is one of the most remixed pop stars in the industry. But there’s one remix which stands out of the whole lot. The amazing rework by Afrojack of her track “Young and Beautiful” does absolute justice to her emotional yet powerful track. He adds his signature touch on this slow number to convert it into a dance beast while retaining the vocals beautifully. Layering a progressive mood over the entire song, the original has taken a full turn from its quiet, dark number to a charging and raging dance piece.

4. Miley Cyrus – Wrecking Ball (Afrojack Remix)

Afrojack keeps the harmony of the original version intact and kicks it off in orchestral style but adds a heavily-melodic and thumping bassline and drop turning it into a dance floor essential. There’s something special about the Dutch maestro as only he could take Miley’s emotional vocals and turn it into another club hit which adds to his extensive catalogue.

5. Rihanna, Kanye West, Paul McCartney – FourFiveSeconds (Afrojack Remix)

FourFiveSeconds which is one of the heaviest collaborations featuring industry’s top artists and was applauded for its ingenious production. Afrojack took a monumental risk while remixing Sir Paul McCartney but he carefully gives this track a fitting remake with his upbeat yet chill version. Keeping the organs and Sir Paul McCartney‘s guitar from the original, he adds a soft and subtle bass line that flows underneath the track keeping it to a minimal and brings out an amplified vibe during the outro of the track. The remix is sober as compared to his other popular remixes yet is uplifting and danceable to.
