Afrojack's Kapuchon Alias Arrives on Hot Creations With New Single 'Secret Moves'

Afrojack has brought his Kapuchon alias to Hot Creations, the label co-founded by Jamie Jones and Lee Foss, for his debut on the imprint with a relentless new single, ‘Secret Moves.’ The track is an infectious, bass-heavy house cut that locks into a single looping groove and stays there, letting gradual shifts in the arrangement do the work as the energy builds.A brief vocal chop surfaces right before the drop, then disappears just as quickly, giving the track a fleeting moment of tension before the low end takes over again.

The Kapuchon alias dates back over a decade and was built as a home for Afrojack’s club-oriented material across house and techno.After lying relatively quiet for several years, the project was reignited in 2020 with ’10 Years Later’ and the launch of the Kapuchon Records imprint.

Since then, it has gained traction among selectors, with unreleased Kapuchon tracks earning support from the likes of Swedish House Mafia, Anyma, Dom Dolla, and John Summit.‘Secret Moves’ lands during an especially active stretch for the project.

Earlier this year, Afrojack opened the Ultra Music Festival mainstage as Kapuchon before returning later that day for a full Afrojack set.In April, he performed a B2B with Shimza at Coachella’s Quasar stage, while a seven-date North American club tour in March brought the alias to intimate rooms like Sound Nightclub in Los Angeles, Refuge in Brooklyn, and StereoBar in Montreal.

The single follows his collaboration with Miss Monique and GLZ, ‘Hot Sauce,’ released on AETERNA Records in May, and his Black Book Records single, ‘Control,’ with Lucas & Steve in March.For Kapuchon, landing on Hot Creations adds another marker to a run that has increasingly separated the alias from the festival-grade Afrojack brand.
