The superstar tweeted his Snapchat name and encouraged followers to add him if they wanted to get a sneak peak of the upcoming release.

A lot of hype has been surrounding Afrojack and his upcoming music, especially since Ultra is right around the corner and is a key spot for letting the world know what DJs have been working on throughout the year. He recently told an interviewer about using the Snapchat app to promote new tracks,

“It’s a temporary glimpse, it’s nothing that stays with you. That’s the cool thing about Snapchat. It’s something that goes directly to fans; directly from me to them.”

Afrojack isn’t the first artist to promote his snapchat name, Tiesto has done it in the past, but strictly for amusement.
