AFROJACK RELEASES "AS YOUR FRIEND" IN USA In anticipation of Afrojack’s forthcoming debut album, the influential DJ/producer released the album’s first single in the USA, “As Your Friend” featuring Chris Brown. “As Your Friend” gives us a first taste of his long-awaited solo album set for release later in 2013 via Afrojack’s own musical platform Wall Recordings. Already climbing the US iTunes chart rapidly, “As Your Friend” once again proves Afrojack’s capability of combining glossy vocals with his own distinctive and one of a kind sound which previously induced the success of “Take Over Control”, “Can’t Stop Me” and #1 hit “Give Me Everything”. None other than Leroy Styles, who recently signed to Afrojack’s Wall Recordings, worked with Afrojack on both the production and lyrics of “As Your Friend”. “As Your Friend” is out now and available for download at iTunes US. Be sure to also visitBillboard's website for an exclusive feature on “As Your Friend”.
	SIDNEY SAMSON & MARTIN GARRIX "TORRENT" OUT For those who thought a collaboration between an experienced DJ/producer with a career spanning over 15 years and a 16 year old talent could never result in something huge; Sidney Samson and Dutch youngster Martin Garrix prove otherwise. The duo provided Tiësto’s imprint Musical Freedom with its first release of 2013: “Torrent”. Inducting Sidney Samson’s debut on Musical Freedom, the aptly named "Torrent" is a giant electro wave that comes at you with a constant flow and never lets up. “Torrent”, released on Musical Freedom, is out now and exclusively available at Beatport.
	BASSJACKERS & DYRO UNLEASH "GRID" Bassjackers are pumping out some electrifying collaborative material just in time for Miami and the start of the festival season. Just a few weeks after of their high impact collaboration “Hey!” with Showtek, Bassjackers teamed up with Dyro to continue their series of stunning releases. On Monday, Bassjackers and Dyro released “Grid”, a thrilling track enhanced with a modern and innovative Electro sound and a speaker-shattering drop. Things get even better as the track has already made its made way up the #73 spot on Beatport’s Top 100 chart. “Grid” is out now and exclusively available at Beatport, follow the link for your copy.
	BAGGI BEGOVIC & BEN SAUNDERS COLLABORATE Hot off the heels of his highly rated remix of Rita Ora’s “Radioactive”, Baggi Begovic introduces us to his latest project; a fresh and unique collaboration with The Voice of Holland’s first winner Ben Saunders. Together they came up with “Free”, a fluid mixture of Ben Saunders’ smooth vocal work combined and Baggi’s atmospheric tones and danceable melodies. Writing the lyrics together, Baggi and Ben have seem to have made an instant connection in the studio, making this anthem quality material for the upcoming festival season. “Free” will be released February 22nd in Holland and later worldwide on Spinnin’ Records.
	AFROJACK & AMBUSH OFF TO ULTRA SOUTH AMERICA Both Afrojack and Ambush are on route to Chile and Buenos Aires this weekend for Ultra South America. Afrojack will be gracing Ultra Chile’s main stage on Friday before playing Ultra Buenos Aires’ main stage on Saturday. Ambush is heading to South America together with Spanish live-act The Zombie Kids, following their recent collaboration “Tonight”.
