Josh Bennett Armin van Buuren feat. Laura Jansen - Sound Of The Drums (Album Version) [Armada] There are several tracks that I can't get enough of on Armin van Buuren's new Intense album, but Armin's new collaboration with [...]
Armin van Buuren at the Oakland Fox Theater for the Intense Album Tour a day after Cinco de Mayo was a night to remember. From beginning to end, it was an evening filled with special moments where everyone—including Armin—seemed to be overwhelmed by the thrill that swept through the venue. Kicking off at 7 pm with groups of attendees eagerly making their way through the doors and straight towards the stage, it didn't take long for a sense of excitement to spread across the floor. And that feeling only intensified as day became night and the evening sky was replaced [...]

Success means a lot of things to different people. For some it's simply defined as being happy in life…while the ultimate career dream for others might be an appearance on the Wendy Williams Show. Or perhaps Oprah. Probably Oprah. Feelings aside, this is definitely proof that EDM culture is everywhere. Like all over the fucking place. Pretty interesting too that there seemed to be a gaggle of trance fans at the tapping of the show. Or at least a lot of folks paying heed to the applause sign above. BTW readers... [...]
Is Armin Van Buuren chasing the 50 to 70 year old stay at home grandma market? Because it appears so via this over the top interview with American day time host Wendy Williams. For those who don't know Wendy Williams, she appears to be some kind of cheap spin off of Oprah and Jerry Springer combined and delivered with an over the top dumb ass crowd being controlled by a puppeteer or tape deck. The interview is fairly shallow and highlights everything EDM about EDM and doesn't really help Armin's image. Wendy clearly doesn't know shit [...]
Last Thursday Armin van Buuren took over Sirius XM's fishbowl studio for the Electric Aquarium series , which has played host to top dance music talent including Afrojack , Ferry Corsten , and Dirty South . The series offers a uniquely intimate experience, incomparable to almost anything else out there due to its unprecedented artist access. At festivals and concerts fans are separated from DJs by a sea of heads, a bounty of security, and several physical barriers - but for Electric Aquarium events there's only a few feet of space between the fans [...]
VIEW MORE PHOTOS FROM THE EVENT HERE . It's quite a blessing that of all the towns and cities around the world, Armin van Buuren chose Los Angeles to premiere his spectacular new album, Intense ( album review here ). LA has always meant a great deal to the trance king and his fans made sure to express their overwhelming appreciation on Saturday night. Although there wasn't an official dress code for the night, it might as well have been an unofficial white party event with hundreds of die-hard fans wearing [...]
Before Armin van Buuren released his latest studio album, Intense , this past Friday, his lead single with Trevor Guthrie had swept the world with a remix from W&W. Today, “ This Is What It Feels Like ” has a slew of new remixes, adding to sounds contributing to diverse selection of trance showcased on Intense. Antillas & Dankann and Giuesseppe Ottaviani turn up the bpm in similar taste, but no one switches up the pace like David Guetta. On his rendition, Guetta gives extra attention to the acapella and delivers a distorted beat with the [...]
It’s quite staggering when you consider his touring schedule, his radio show , his various brands and business interests , but Armin Van Buuren has somehow had time to write his fifth studio album. Two years in the making, Intense is a showcase of Armin’s ability as a songwriter rather than just as producer and DJ. The first part of the album is largely made up of his clubbier tracks- Beautiful Life , Miri Ben-Ari collaboration Intense and recent singles such as [...]
Last night SiriusXM hosted an exclusive live interview and DJ set with Armin van Buuren from the fish bowl studio, at their headquarters located in New York City. It was a part of their "Electric Aquarium" series which brings in artists to the Electric Area(channel 52 on SiriusXM) offices, and DJ live on the radio. Armin played cuts off his new album, Intense , and then even took some requests from the in-house audience. We've had the pleasure off attending two "Electric Aquarium" events so far, and we're [...]

Even after selling out Madison Square Garden and showing no signs of slowing down his presence on the summer festival for circuit for 2013, this cultural minefield was certain to meet the follow-up to 2011’s Mirage with apprehensive eyes. For a man [...]
