Before Nick Van De Wall was jet-setting across the globe on his own personal jet, a young Afrojack was breakdancing and hacking together samples in a cracked version of Fruity Loops. The Dutch DJ recently sat down with MTV for their “This Is How I Made It” TV series, discussing his humble beginnings, his first dance music experience, and more. The 30 minute look into the early years of one of dance music’s most successful and iconic producers paints a small town, grassroots, picture of the megalithic DJ.

Preview the episode above and tune in this Saturday at 12pm EST for the official airing.
