Armin van Buuren

It's easy to see that Armin van Buuren is one of the most influential DJs and producers in electronic music, having been a major figure for over two decades. His unwavering dedication to the industry has earned him a Grammy® nomination for ‘This Is What It Feels Like’ (feat. Trevor Guthrie) and led to international hit singles such as ‘Blah Blah Blah’, ‘Wild Wild Son’, ‘Therapy’, ‘Sex, Love & Water’, ‘Sunny Days’, ‘I Need You’, and ‘Another You’. He has achieved the number one position in the annual DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll five times, contributing to his nineteen consecutive top 5 rankings, with the latest being a #4 in the 2020 DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll. On October 25, 2019, Armin van Buuren released his seventh studio album, ‘Balance’.

His two-hour radio show, A State of Trance (ASOT), broadcasts weekly from his own studio at the Armada Music HQ in Amsterdam, reaching over 44 million listeners across more than 80 countries and is also available via audio and video live stream on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitch. This showcases the scale of ASOT, which has evolved from a small radio show to a complete dance music brand with stages and events worldwide.

Armin van Buuren has initiated several ‘Armin Only’ world tours over the years, including those based on his albums (‘Imagine’ in 2008, ‘Mirage’ in 2010, ‘Intense’ in 2013 and ‘Embrace’ in 2016) and ‘The Best Of Armin Only’ in 2017. In May 2021, one year later than initially planned due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Armin van Buuren will perform his most personal and intimate live shows yet through four sold-out performances at the Ziggo Dome: ‘This Is Me’.

Moreover, Armin van Buuren is a co-founder of Armada Music, the largest independent dance music label globally. The label, which was launched with Maykel Piron and David Lewis, has offices in Amsterdam, NYC, and London, and is internationally recognized for releasing music from across the electronic music spectrum.
