India, Oct. 19 -- F or Dutch DJ-producer Nick Leonardus van de Wall, aka Afrojack, India is a place that keeps calling him back. "The fans, the energy of the fans - everyone is very passionate about the music," he says. "I remember the first time I played Sunburn Festival, and I literally saw people walking up the mountain [for a show]. The passion for music is so big and pure, and that's why I'm very happy to come back," adds the 38-year-old, who will perform in Mumbai on November 28 and Delhi-NCR on November 30 in association with Sunburn. However, this time, there's a bittersweet note to his return. "It's going to be the last time for the next few years," reveals the musician, adding, "I've been coming regularly to India over the last 15 years, but now I really want to redirect my energy into the studio and creating new music. After Covid, everything felt like it was floating. A lot of artistes were able to redefine themselves but I hadn't until the last few months," he adds. The producer also spoke about India's unique influence on global music trends. "In India, people are very hyped on the IDs (tracks that are either unreleased, unnamed, or unknown). I remember when Martin Garrix played Birds of Feather's Amel remix at his big festival in the country; it completely exploded on the internet because of India. When something happens in Europe, it doesn't always go viral, but in India, it goes worldwide instantly. That's pretty cool," he says. Looking ahead, Afrojack hopes to return for collaborations with Indian artistes. "I'd love to find some Indian artistes to work with. We did try to work with two artistes, but we couldn't because they couldn't get their visas in time. [But] I've never been in a studio session with anyone from India, but I hope that happens soon. Hopefully next time, I can come back not for shows, but to create music together," he concludes....
