Listen to Tiësto and Afrojack’s Ecstatic New Collaboration, “Light It Up”

by Michael Ryan · Published August 19, 2024

Two of EDM's biggest names, Tiësto and Afrojack, have teamed up for a new collaboration, "Light It Up."

The track features MC Ambush, a New York-based MC who has worked with David Guetta, Hardwell, R3hab and many more dance music powerhouses. It comes with high energy from the very outset, its titular phrase pairing with unyielding lead synths before the producers unleash a vintage electro drop reminiscent of Afrojack's signature Dirty Dutch sound.

The vigor continues until the break, its crashing waves turning into a gentle rocking for a brief intermission. The calm doesn't stay for long, though, as the arrangement builds into another drop sequence to bring the festival banger home.

For Tiesto, "Light It Up" follows his genre-bending hit "Hot Honey" with Alana Springsteen. Afrojack finds himself equally as busy, recently teaming up with Pitbull and Ne-Yo to release "2 The Moon," a follow-up to their 2011 global hit "Give Me Everything."
