AFROJACK Revitalizes "Take Over Control" For 15-Year Anniversary With Remix EP

AFROJACK celebrates his trailblazing 2010 release with Eva Simons, “Take Over Control,” by dropping a six-track remix package that features multiple genres.

Many remember a handful of staple songs that defined an era of dance music. If you were a fan of EDM in 2010, or just tuning into the radio, it’s likely that you heard AFROJACK’s “Take Over Control” featuring Eva Simons making its way up the charts. A decade and a half later, the song remains a classic anthem, one that paved the way for progressive house and big room’s rise into mainstream culture and the “golden era” of EDM.

With its irresistible lyrics and melodies launching it to the forefront of the scene and onto dance floors worldwide, the launch of AFROJACK’s esteemed career was only just beginning. In honor of “Take Over Control”’s 15th anniversary, the WALL Recordings label boss is giving the track a fresh update with the release of a six-track remix package. Spanning from hard-hitting techno and thumping bass house to progressive house and more, there’s a revamped version of the beloved single for everyone to enjoy.

Maddix kicks off the EP with a dose of heavy techno, speeding up the release and ushering it into 2025. HILLS provides an infectious house spin on the title track, one that still resonates with modern-day dance floors and makes listeners want to get up and dance. Antoine Delvig keeps the song’s iconic buildup steady, while offering a melodic and progressive twist before a gargantuan drop.

Switching gears into another house-forward spin with a dark, rolling bassline, Matt Sassari projects his cut of the timeless single to round out the second half of the EP. To close out the collection, Kasango strips back layers of his interpretation, opting for afro-house-leaning rhythms, while BYNX rinses his signature house touch and melodic undertones.

Whichever vibe you’re leaning toward, each rendition of “Take Over Control” breathes new life into the pioneering 2010 release, revitalizing it for a new generation of dancefloors while maintaining the song’s integrity. Make sure to listen to the EP on your favorite streaming platform.
