It’s been six months since Dutchmen Oliver Heldens and Armin van Buuren premiered their first-ever collaboration at Ultra Music Festival in Miami. ‘Freedom’, featuring Sam Harper, has been a staple in their sets, including Tomorrowland and EDC Las Vegas, and has just been officially released on Armada Music.
Armin van Buuren recently released his eighth studio album, ‘Feel Again’. Captained by brand-new single ‘On & On’ — a link-up with British duo Punctual and London-based singer-songwriter Alika — the album is full of collaborations with artists across the musical spectrum including R3HAB, Owl City, Matoma, Teddy Swims, Gareth Emery, JC Stewart and more.
A State of Trance ‘firmly believes in loving, dancing and living together under a new sun’, and the 19th instalment of Armin van Buuren’s annual year mix series aims to put that hope for a better future into sound with ‘A State of Trance Year Mix 2022’. The music featured in this brand-new year mix also aims to turn diversity into unity.
Armin van Buuren has launched his exclusive, Web3-based community: Armin’s All-Access, or AAA (pronounced “Triple A”). Created to strengthen the connection with his fans, the community is accessible upon purchase of a limited-edition community token – a piece of digital art designed by Dutch designer Rik Oostenbroek.
Only a few days after outlining his intentions for building a brand-new community, Armin van Buuren has dropped the second part of his ‘Feel Again’ album trilogy. Including #1 US Dance radio single ‘One More Time’ (feat. Maia Wright) as well as various other singles and collaborations, the 11-track album paves the way for the third and final instalment of the album trilogy, which is due next year.
Behind The Beats, Armada Music’s podcast series on all things music industry, has apparently enjoyed a rather eventful first season. Featuring ‘worthwhile stories and interesting anecdotes’ from guests such as Armada Music CEO Maykel Piron, Disciples founder Duvall and Sirius XM’s dance radio host Geronimo, the series became popular for those who wanted to discover the inner workings of all sorts of things in dance music.
As possibly two of the Netherlands’ foremost representatives of the global dance music scene, Armin van Buuren and Blasterjaxx are no strangers, having musically connected several times in the past few years through debut collab ‘Tarzan’ and three Blasterjaxx remixes of Armin van Buuren’s tracks. They’ve now just dropped their sophomore collaboration ‘Superman’ (feat. 24h).
Cream and WHP recently announced Armin van Buuren to play in Manchester on Saturday 16 April. The Dutch DJ/producer has been a key figure in the trance scene for over two decades, and been ranked the worlds #1 DJ a record five times by DJ Mag.
Whether through his productions, live sets or weekly A State Of Trance radio show, Armin van Buuren is possibly known as someone who aims to amplify the magic of the moment whenever it’s needed. Now the Dutchman has just launched a ‘feel-good’ Christmas commercial starring himself and his own freshly designed Christmas sweater.
Armin van Buuren has teamed up with two-time Grammy-nominated artist Steve Aoki on ‘Music Means Love Forever’. A fusion of both artists’ styles, the track features a mixture of Armin’s progressive trance palette and Steve’s big room electro sound.
