At the yound age of 18, Afrojack had his first top 100 hit in his native Netherlands with "Afrojack - In Your Face.” Now, he can rarely be seen outside of the studio. When he's not DJing around the world, he is producing hit tracks like “Math” and “Do My Dance,” gaining massive support from the likes of David Guetta, Josh Wink, Laidback Luke, Chuckie and Fedde Le Grand. Afrojack can bee seen on any given weekend at clubs and festivals around the world, such as Mystery Land, Tomorrowland (Belgium), Electric Daisy Carnival, Extrema Outdoor and Sensation, showing that his popularity is rising far beyond the borders of his homeland. Respected by fellow DJs and loved by clubbers for his dancefloor bombs and energetic performances, Afrojack is setting a new standard in the industry with a unique fusion of energetic house with electro and hip hop elements. He will be on hand on Saturday, September 4th at Electric Zoo, bringing his trademark sound to the Hilltop Arena.
