Armin van Buuren is one my favourite DJ of all time. I have been listening to this guy for quite some time now, and his tracks never fail to blow me away.
Okay, so most of us know him pretty well, but for those who have never heard of him, here is a bit of introduction about him. He is a Dutch trance producer and DJ. He is the number one ranked DJ having won DJ Magazine's Top 100 DJs fan poll a record of 5 times, including winning 4 consecutive years between 2007–2010 and again in 2012.
His genre of music is Trance and Progressive Trance. There are many DJs out there who try to play more than a few genres of Electronic music, but this guy just focuses on those two genres. He has been producing mesmerizing tracks since 1995, that makes people from all around the world dance and giving them a euphoric experience. He produced 4 albums till now, the 5th one being release on May 5, 2013.
Discography -
1) 76 (2003)
2) Shivers (2005)
3) Imagine (2008)
4) Mirage (2010)
5) Intense (2013) (To be released)
Armin also hosts a famous weekly radio show called the 'A State of Trance' which he first aired on 2001. The show takes the format of a two hour mix in which he plays new trance music, both promotional and commercially released. Selected tracks are announced during the show in order to help promote new artists and releases. Trance lovers from all over the world listens to this radio show. I believe this is a great thing he has started, as not only playing amazing new tracks weekly, but giving a great platform to the new DJs, as he plays their tracks in the show. I listen to this show every week, and it never fails to amaze me. Amazing tracks.
I just hope, one day I get to see him live. That would be a dream come true!
