Afrojack to release "March Of The Afrojack" documentary

Last Friday Afrojack released a teaser on Youtube of his upcoming documentary called "March Of The Afrojack":

I'm not sure how "normal" it is to be sitting in the trunk of a Ferrari (At 1:06 while narrating that he's "just a normal guy"), but whatever this documentary turns out to be, I'm pretty sure that it will be entertaining to watch.

Last week I had posted a recent Armin Van Buuren quote where he emphasized the need to focus on the journey rather than the drop in a live set - well Armin's latest CD release "Universal Religion Chapter 7" is the embodiment of Armin's philosophy:

This double CD was recorded in one take at a recent "A State of Trance" residency event in Ibiza and Armada Music has released a 10 minute clip to promote the new release, check it out:
