Hollywood, Wall Street, producing for Paris Hilton, going completely mainstream pop, and now remixing Wake Me Up by Avicii. When will Afrojack’s hunger for media attention stop? We all know Avicii’s hit that took over airwaves across the world and one of the best selling songs of all time, and it was a pretty good track. But here comes a marching Afrojack, seeking to completely destroy the feel good Wake Me Up. The production in this track just sounds like Afrojack got bored and decided to throw as many big room samples as he could into it. Our question is why? We have no idea, we’re going to leave that one up to you.
Oh my dear God that is fucking horrible.
it nothingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg come one u can bettter then fucking paris plus dont u dare start going otherway on different genre
Hey!!! What are you guys talking about? It’s not that bad… wait… WHAT THE FUCK??!?!?!?!? (Initials cannot describe how much “what the fuck” was in that “WTF”)
That was a TERRIBLE remix. Afrojack needs to stop right now and leave. Way to destroy Wake Me Up.
<3 Afrojack
holy crap that was worthless…
This remix isn’t great but I don’t think he needs to leave. I think he needs to get his big head out of the air and get back to being creative and not just a name for the mainstream to jump to. Making his ass all lazy or maybe too comfortable. C’mon AJ take over control!
I will be the first to shit on Afrojack but this just isnt HORRIBLE. Not a great remix by any stretch but its fun.
i went to the actual YouTube video (or link) to rape the dislike button
Your a naive cunt if you think “Chicago is the home of house music” just saying your a joke. Hate to hate, but get your facts straight. Who cares about Afrojack, it’s called the business of EDM
I swear, EDM fans are becoming such whiny little bitches. Almost as bad as some of those Metal fans who argue which sub-genre what specific song falls under, and all this talk of “mainstream” and “selling out”. Face the fact that EDM is popular and move on. Granted, it’s not my kind of remix; I wouldn’t buy it but it is not as bad as the author (and some of you commenters) are making it out to be. Who gives a shit if Afrojack remixes a song and God forbid YOU don’t like it? It’s like some of you don’t want the genre to grow to reach more people.
All his stuff lately has been crap. He’s tried to move away from dutch house, but he’s not really very good at anything else.
England in 1992.
I don’t think its THAT bad. I could listen to it again. But if all of this is just for the sake of fame then you can count me out.
They were throwing 25,000+ raves in 1989, just ask Frankie Bones.
i liked everything until the drop came at 3 mins, then i gave up…….afrojack = new age david guttea….respect the hustle, make your money, get rich, but i dont like your music and i think your a weak performer
Sounds like literally every drop Afrojack has made in the past 3 years. Dude makes the most killer bass synth though..
All I can say is “meh”. If I heard this in a club I’d be annoyed at the DJ for wasting my time.
BAHAHAHAHaha-*fart*…
POURRIS CETTE MERDE …. il devrait avoir honte
not a great mix but at least the song sounds like EDM unlike the original… that country/bluegrass shit suckeddd
oh god this is musical cancer my ears are bleeding
I don’t see what everyone is so worked up about. The drop section is pretty original and the vocals work with what he has going on in the track. Get over it and don’t listen if you think it sucks lmao
This makes the arguments between him and deadmau5 completely irrelevant. In the least Joel is attempting to get out of the cookie cutter bullshit that is EDM right now and Jack keeps doing this uncreative crap over, and over, and over again. Some of these guys have lost any artistic drive they once had and its sad.
LOL plz, this is at least a bit better than the awful original!
commercial junkies, wake me up when its over for sure
Afrowack. When is he just going to disappear off this planet?
4:14 biggest waste of my time, afrojack i see that fame and money got to you. stop wasting your time with Paris Hilton…. and START Making some real music!
who cares? we all know afrojack and anyone who listens to him sucks big fat donkey tits !
This is offensively bad.
Not a terrible remix.. more than anything I just found that the pitch sounded slightly off and the drop wasn’t hard enough to be a good Big Room Remix
At least we got Moombahton out of the guy.
Guaranteed to get the party to at least a 2.5!
I think I can poop out a better remix. Im sure he used some vengance samples and some fm8 presets and called her a day
I love Avicii. That being said, I don’t think Wake Me Up was that fucking great to begin with. Sure this remix is shit. But then again…who cares? If you don’t like it don ‘t listen to it. There are still plenty of talented individuals out there producing some amazing EDM.
not gonna lie the remix sucks!
This song started really good. I can safely say its a pile of crap quick mix to try sponge some fame off a well established artist. And thats why people are upset. Not because Afrojack made a seriously shit song but because he did so by taking a seriously good song and somehow managed to ruin it. A person in the industry who is meant to be a leader and know better than that, a person with talent and a good handful of chart toppers doesn’t do what he just did. Its more principal than the shit song.
Why the hell are people hating just because someone else remixes a track into something of a style they perceive it as? It’s called a remix for a reason. If it’s gonna sound the same, why bother in the first place? Whether it’s good or not, that’s another topic altogether but hating on it just because they’re making it a big room sound? Seesh…
