This is really tripped-out in our book, but we are glad the situation was rectified in time. We have been told that “nothing malicious” transpired, but still. You know?
In the end, all that matters is that full credit has been given. We only have two words to say: “Good luck.” 🙂 –J. Medley
For Immediate Release
Afrojack receives Grammy nomination (alongside co-remixer David Guetta) for remix of Madonnas Revolver
The rumors are true and we can finally officially confirm that Nick van de Wall, A.K.A Afrojack, is nominated for his first Grammy Award.
The remix, done for Madonnas song Revolver, was penned with David Guetta in 2010. Released by Warner Brothers Music, the club version charted prominently and received heavy airplay. It was one of the standout commercial dance crossover hits of 2010.
Fans noticed immediately that Afrojacks name was mysteriously missing from the credits of the One Love Club Remix on the Grammy site, when the nominations came through. After some serious back and forth between management and the Grammys, word came in on February 7th, 2011 that Afrojack would be credited properly for his work on the remix, and his Grammy nomination would be officially recognized.

Best and good luck to Afrojack on Sunday! Sean Riley- Grammy Awards
It was hard not to be able to say anything about this, says Afrojack, but we had to wait on the Grammys come back to us. And now, I guess its official! I would like to thank David for asking me to collaborate with him on this remix in the first place, and for his help in getting my role in this recognized.
David Guetta and Afrojack have worked together on many high profile remixes and original productions in the past year and have several new projects in the pipeline.
