AFROJACK Unveils Underground Release 'Monopoly Man' on Desolat

GRAMMY Award-winning producer and global dance music icon AFROJACK has officially released his latest track, "Monopoly Man," through Desolat, marking a significant milestone in his career. This release is notable as it is AFROJACK's first venture with the Düsseldorf-based label established by Loco Dice and Martin Buttrich in 2007. The track represents a deeper, more underground exploration of his sound, adding to the Dutch producer's evolving discography.

"Monopoly Man" is characterized by AFROJACK's signature lead synth, widely recognized within the dance music community. The track features a groovy bassline, crisp percussion, and driving drums, all of which converge to create a raw and club-focused sound. Designed for versatility, the track is poised to resonate both in late-night clubs and at large festival stages, encapsulating the essence of AFROJACK's musical identity.

The momentum around "Monopoly Man" has been growing steadily, thanks in part to support from Loco Dice at various venues and festivals, including Space Miami and Day Trip in Los Angeles and Chicago. The track has also been featured in high-profile B2B sets with Chris Lake at UNVRS Ibiza and Mau P during Music On at Pacha Ibiza. Additionally, AFROJACK has been integrating the track into his performances, recently trying it out at Sound Nightclub in Los Angeles, further emphasizing its appeal across both intimate and expansive dancefloors.

This release is part of a prolific series of club-focused tracks from AFROJACK throughout 2026. His recent catalog includes tracks such as "Control" on Black Book Records, the Beatport chart-topping collaboration "Hot Sauce" with Miss Monique and GLZ, and "Secret Moves" on Jamie Jones’ renowned Hot Creations label. AFROJACK has also delved into Afro House with his works through AfroSalto, notably the recent EP, "I’ll Be Good," released via Keinemusik’s underground imprint VOD.

The unveiling of "Monopoly Man" follows his electrifying performances at Tomorrowland and comes just ahead of AFROJACK's anticipated CONTROL North American Tour set to begin this October. These endeavors illustrate his exceptional talent for navigating both underground club scenes and major festival stages, all while continuously reimagining his musical direction. With "Monopoly Man," AFROJACK enhances his repertoire on Desolat, delivering a groove-heavy track that melds his distinct production flair with a deeper musical exploration, marking a new chapter in his illustrious career.
