Fans of Afrojack relished his return to New York on Friday night (or Saturday morning, rather), as the Dutch electronic-music producer played his first show of 2011 at Pacha. The performance was sold out weeks before Afrojack (aka Nick van de Wall) hit the the Big Apple club's stage.
At around 2 a.m., while bare legs in stilettos shivered outside behind the velvet rope, a sweaty mob numbering easily more than two-and-a-half-thousand chanted Afrojack's name as opener Roxy Cottontail handed over deck command to the over-six-foot-tall van de Wall. He launched into his set with a mix of his hit "Bangduck." He then proceeded to play most of the best-loved tunes in his already extensive original catalog, including "Let's Make Nasty" (a track with Larry Tee and Cottontail), "Replica," "Funk With Me" and "Louder Than Words," his hit collaboration with David Guetta. And, of course, how could he...

After making a dramatic splash at this year's Winter Music Conference, Dutch electronic DJ/producer Afrojack headed out on his first U.S. tour. This weekend will see him spinning on the East Coast for a gig Friday night (June 11) at Voyeur in Philadelphia, and on Saturday at Santos Party House in New York.
It's been an impressive year thus far for Afrojack (born Nick van de Wall). The 22-year-old rising star's electro-house single "Bangduck" is a house-set favorite, and his collaboration with crossover star David Guetta, "Louder Than Words," has been among the top downloads on the Beatport.com charts since the song dropped just over two weeks ago.

Who would have guessed that 2009 (or any year, for that matter) would be the year of electroclash’s comeback, with new albums from Fischerspooner, Peaches, Larry Tee, DJ Hell, Miss Kittin And The Hacker, Tiga, and now Felix Da Housecat? Granted, it’s unfair to lump veteran Hell (whose Teufelswerk is agreeably ambitious, Diddy cameo and all) and especially Felix in with the rest: Da Housecat was making jacking Chicago house long before Kittenz And Thee Glitz, his 2001 album, accidentally summed up the fashionista-dance era thanks to the hard-angled thump of “Silver Screen Shower Scene.” But Felix’s ...
