Wednesday night, Dutch DJ Afrojack (AKA Nick van de Wall) will do a solo DJ set at Mansion. What’s with the name? Van de Wall does not currently sport an Afro, nor is he particularly jacked. Nonetheless, his talents have been called upon by superstars such as David Guetta (who Afrojack claims is like a “big brother”), the Black Eyed Peas, and fellow Dutchman, Tiësto. Before he crash-lands on South Beach’s Washington Avenue, Afrojack will make stops in Italy, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.
Last time Afrojack descended onto Miami’s shores, he and Steve Aoki duked it out in a DJ battle. Who won? Who really cares? After Afrojack debuted on DJ Mag’s Top 100 list at number 19 this year, we doubt he cares much either. Especially considering Aoki’s theatrics only got him to number 103.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
