Afrojack's New Album - He's committed to dance Not Pop

Remember when all the stories were swirling about Afrojack and Paris Hilton a month or two ago?  Well it makes sense now, how he was able to spend so much time in Hollywood.  The artist rented a house in the hills to work on his new album!

Read the interesting story from Rolling Stone and Afrojack's commitment to his roots "That Bleepy Shit"

"I want to keep it really true to myself and to my roots," Nick van de Wall, better known as Afrojack, tells Rolling Stone of his vision for the debut album he hopes to release this September. The 24-year-old Dutch DJ and producer first introduced Americans to his dense, aggressive electro sound with the 2010 club smash "Take Over Control,"  before becoming a mainstream chart-topping presence when he teamed up with Pitbull, Ne-Yo and Nayer for last year's mega-single "Give Me Everything." Afrojack is now back at home in Holland, after spending the better part of this year holed up at Hollywood's Paramount Studio writing and producing tracks, many of which will find a home on his first full-length release.

Afrojack, whose name comes courtesy of his once-outsized hair and jacked-up beats, says the music for his still-untitled album is finished; he just hasn't yet decided which tracks will make the final cut. Afrojack spent a healthy portion of his time in L.A. recording tracks with other artists and friends like LMFAO, Flo Rida, and Natasha Bedingfield, so he’s still mulling over which of these he will use for his album and which will end up in their respective artists' own repertoire. "I have the advantage of choice," he says of the enviable point he’s reached in his career. "I can do what I want. It’s nice."

Whether he truly doesn’t know or is simply playing dumb, Afrojack is guarded about revealing which guests will appear on his album – at press time, he could only confirm an appearance by singer Omarion. But regarding what type of sound his fans can expect on his debut, he is quite direct. "Basically it's gonna be dance," he says emphatically. "I want to give it as much of a dance feel as possible." Aside from a few choice singles, Afrojack doesn't see pop songs having a place on an album bearing his name. He’s aware that this may be a bit off-putting to a large contingency of his newer fans, but he says he cannot betray the genre he's loved since he was 13. "It's my first passion," Afrojack says of dance music. "I like the storytelling of instrumental club tracks way more than doing pop songs."  It’s a balancing act for Afrojack, really – keep his hardcore dance fans happy and risk alienating his newfound pop fans, or vice versa. So the DJ makes sure to add that he also loves the pop tracks he’s helped create – specifically "Give Me Everything."

Boston just can’t keep music festival Together

By Dave Wedge

(Bostonherald.com) A music festival that Mayor Thomas M. Menino personally welcomed to Boston last year has a new dance partner. The weeklong Together fest that celebrates the surging dance music genre is moving across the river to Cambridge after officials there cut in an impressive perks package.

Together organizer David Day said the growing festival’s move is strictly business: “These young people have money and travel to see their favorite producers and DJs. If Cambridge is more open to them spending their money in Cambridge, well, so be it.”

Menino issued a proclamation hailing the Together festival last year, with events based at Mass. College of Art and Northeastern University. This year, the epicenter of the April 2-8 event will be Central Square, where Cambridge City Councilor Ken Reeves and the Central Square Business Association helped arrange free space for Together’s headquarters. Morris Naggar, whose family’s 3MJ Realty is donating the space, said, “It’s a really cool thing they’re doing. And the music industry, really the pulse of it, is in Central Square.”

Parties and concerts will be held in both cities, but exhibits, panels and other events will be staged at Le Meridien Hotel in red-hot Central Square, where Day said they got a good deal. Boston City Councilor Tito Jackson, a Together panelist last year, pledged: “I will be fighting to have the Together festival come back to the other side of the bridge next year.”

fRew - Wicked Woman(Tommy Trash Remix)

Idk whats more creative sir Tommy Trashes remix here of "wicked woman" or the way fellow bloggers around the net are describing, the Aussie turned londoner's newest work.  The remix of fRew's "wicked woman" is an acid base track that varies significantly from Trashes last project "Ladi Dadi".  "Ladi Dadi" was about an agressive beat, filled with dirty synths.  Trashes remix of "wicked woman" on the other hand, goes back to the days of acid house.  Thomas Olsen aka Tommy Trash experimentation with acid house shows off his diverse skills and supports his rise to success over the last 2 years.

PS Acid house is had an interesting movement his year.  Between remixes like "wicked woman" and LMFAO's "Sexy and I know it", it hasn't received such limelight in a while.  As Sebastian Ingrosso says, "Never forget acid house"
