"I remixed him two weeks ago and it's getting released next week," said Afrojack backstage at KISS FM's Jingle Ball concert in Los Angeles on Monday where he and PSY came face to face for the first time. The "Take Over Control" producer/DJ told Billboard that he was honored that PSY reached out to him with the request, adding that "Gangnam Style" was his personal favorite song of the year. "It's genius!"
According to Afrojack (real name Nick van de Wall) PSY contacted him and said, "You're going to be the only one to remix "Gangnam Style" to which he responded, "OK. Dope!"
Even after having remixed legends like Snoop Dogg and Madonna, Afrojack says he was still a bit nervous to take on such an iconic tune. "It's a really really really big song!" he exclaimed, adding "but three months ago I remixed Michael Jackson's "Bad" and that worked out so I felt like 'OK. Might as well have "Gangnam Style."
The remix version, according to Afrojack, is "way clubbier." "Mine is like an EDM version," he said, explaining that the remix will have people jumping up and down and imitating their best PSY-worthy moves for a solid "eight minutes."
