AFROJACK getting on the remix is a flex, and Turn The Lights Off comes out the other side as a proper big-room dance weapon. Spinnin’ Records is in its element here, this is exactly the kind of glossy festival-ready dance music the label has been pumping out for over a decade. The original by Justė, Jaxstyle and Jon already had a solid hook, and AFROJACK does what AFROJACK does, which is make everything bigger and cleaner and more designed to detonate at a main stage. The vocal is catchy enough to survive the maximalist treatment, riding over a drop built for maximum hands-in-the-air impact. Is it subtle? Absolutely not. Was it ever trying to be? No. Sometimes you want a track that knows precisely what it is and commits without a hint of self-doubt. AFROJACK has been doing this long enough that he could phone it in, and to his credit this doesn’t sound phoned in at all. Turn The Lights Off is summer festival fuel. Save it for when the sun goes down and the inhibitions follow.
