Afrojack’s ‘Take Over Control’ Turns 14 Years Old

‘Take Over Control’‘ was released 14 years ago today, propelling Amsterdam native Afrojack into the EDM spotlight. This track launched the Electro and Progressive House producer’s name globally with its hypnotizing beats, especially its catchy chorus and hook. It quickly became a must-dance-to anthem worldwide.

‘Take Over Control’ dominated the charts in 2010, holding the #1 spot for six weeks on the US Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay, Hungary’s Dance Top 40, and Poland’s Dance Top 50. It achieved 2X Platinum status in Australia and Platinum in the United States.

Since this breakthrough, Afrojack has continued to make waves in the industry. He founded his own record label in 2014, Wall Recordings, where he released his debut album, Forget the World. He is currently on tour, continuing to cast his spell on new and old audiences alike.

To date, ‘Take Over Control’ remains a summertime anthem and brings back the nostalgia of summer 2010 when it first dropped.
