[House] Afrojack – Doing it Right (Original Mix)

XS Afrojack 588 [House] Afrojack   Doing it Right (Original Mix)

Nick van de Wall, also known as his Electro House DJ/ Producer name “Afrojack“, has soared to the top charts in the year 2010; for 2011, Afrojack presents us with a definite club-banger. While Afrojack is indeed “Doing it Right”, he isn’t doing anything new.  The signature “bleep” style drop is present in every one of Afrojack’s tracks and comes as no surprise in “Doing it Right”. What is surprising, however, was the truly mesmerizing instrumental build-up, with an extremely cathy melody. The “bleep style” is starting to be overdone by Afrojack, but you can’t help but smile when Afrojack combines the two dominant melodies into one head-smashing final drop. An enjoyable addition to Afrojack’s list of productions, but anyone waiting for something new from Afrojack will have to wait just a little longer.

  • I take it you’ve never heard some of his songs such as radioman, daft sound, real high, louder than words, tequila sunrise, BEP remix, who’s that chick remix, wayo remix or his hey sexy lady remix. All brilliant tracks not containing the “bleep” sound. In fact this is probably his first release of 2011 with that “bleep” style. Such a cliche that all his tracks are the same style and it is far from true. Some research next time please? thanks.

    When I refer to Afrojack and his overuse of “bleep style” I refer to the Afrojack that the EDM world has come to know and love during his rise to fame over the last year and a half or so. I’ talking about replica, Bridge ft. Bobby Burns, Bangduck, Take Over Control and now Doing it Right. A lot more of his tracks, though they may not have the in your face high pitched bleeps, still fit the bleep architecture, like his Who’s that Chick remix. When I say every one of his tracks, its a figure of speech, rather then literally meaning that every single one of his tracks use it, I’m just saying a majority of his original productions do. You list songs made by him either in his early early days as a producer, or a few years ago when he was still relatively unknown. Like with any other producer, if you look in their back catalog, you will see variances in their production style. I’m talking about Afrojack, the dance music sensation that has a solidly established style, one that he even calls himself the creator of.

    • I’m not sure how you think the tracks i listed are from a few years back. Apart from radioman, every track i listed has been released within the past year, or within the past 6 months, or even less for some of them. I know alot of his tracks have the same style with the bleeps and when he combines all the different elements of the track at the final drop but in the past 10 months or so he has showed quite a bit of variation as to what he can do as a producer (even producing hip hop/rnb for pitbull).

    Isn’t DJ Chuckie the creator of the ‘Dirty Dutch’ sound you’re talking about? I’m pretty sure they’re friends and he just started using it after him…

      I’m not talking about the dirty dutch sound, though he is a part of that movement. He believes to have invented bleep style, heres a quote taken straight from an article with mtv:

      “Afrojack dropped his single “Take Over Control” on Monday, and with its release, the Dutch DJ/producer seems intent on expanding his self-invented “bleepy” sound to a mass audience.”

      This is the bleep sound I’m talking about, check out the article for yourself at:
