Laptop and software maker Razer have confirmed a new partnership with Afrojack on a new piece of technology that combines Afrojack’s expertise with the Razer Blade Pro laptop in a bid to help DJs and producers make better music.
The fruits of the partnership is a new music application, dubbed the Afrojack Production Studio, and is the first initiative born of the relationship between the artist and the gaming brand. The app works in conjunction with FL Studio and puts the most essential tools and shortcuts right at one’s fingertips—literally—making it easier than ever to write and produce world-class, studio-quality dance music.
Exclusively designed for users of the multi-award winning Razer Switchblade User Interface (SBUI) included on the Razer Blade Pro, the Afrojack Production Studio was conceived to help budding music makers and pros alike. Tips and tricks from Afrojack walk a Razer Blade Pro user through the process of creating tracks from the ground up. There’s even a project template containing samples and effects compliments of Afrojack.
In prior months, Afrojack used his Razer Blade Pro laptop in a national televised and live-streamed Homecoming performance at his sold-out show at the Heineken Music Hall during the Amsterdam Dance Event. He was also seen gaming behind the scenes before the MTV European Music Awards, learning the finer points of the Razer SBUI with first-person shooters, as well as FL Studio.
“I’ve been getting so much out of my Razer Blade Pro over the past several months—at gigs, at home and everywhere in-between,” says Afrojack. “The new Afrojack Studio Production app is going to be super useful, and I’m excited to offer it to aspiring DJs and producers who love FL studio as much as I do.”
In addition to its partnership with Afrojack, Razer recently inked deals with DJ producer heavyweights Borgore and Flux Pavilion. Both artists will continue to use Razer systems and peripherals for gaming while consulting with the brand on music technologies.
