This weekend, the grounds of New York city will be shaken by the Electric Daisy Carnival. Gathering 100,000 visitors a day, the three-day festival is one of the season’s highlights in the USA.

Not just the visitors of the festival will enjoy the star-studded line-up, but the entire world will be part of it, all through the live broadcast on www.astateoftrance.com.

With DJ’s ATB, Markus Schulz, Gareth Emery, John O’Callaghan, Jochen Miller, Tritonal, Rank 1 and Sied van Riel behind the decks, the A State of Trance area will be a real Mecca for trance lovers. Including world-class performances, special effects, theatrical displays, interactive art installations, and much, much more, it will be a party to remember.

Armin van Buuren makes some noise for the Euro 2012!

Robert — Wed, 09 May 2012 15:18:05 +0000

The new track of Armin van Buuren, ‘We Are Here To Make Some Noise’, is the official theme in the European Championship campaign of Dutch radio station Radio 538. The single was released on record label Armada Music today and will be featured in commercials of Radio 538.

It’s not the First time that the Dutch DJ/producer made a football anthem. In 2007, his track ‘Rush Hour’ was the official theme song for the UEFA European Youth Championship. In 2010, Armin played at the Museumplein in Amsterdam in July, during the honoring of the Dutch football team. Even though the national team became second in the FIFA Worldcup, they partied like they were the absolute winners, and so did the 200.000 strong crowd.

Armin van Buuren:”It is and will always be special to see how Music affects people. One of the players of the Dutch football team once told me he focuses on the game by listening to Music. ‘We Are Here To Make Some Noise’ might not be as trancy as people would expect from me, but this is also a musical side that I own. I’m hoping that the energy of the track will catch on, for both the players and the crowd.

‘We Are Here To Make Some Noise’ is a track with an energetic and playful charakter, and will surely give a positive spin to the European Championship.

The track is now available on iTunes.
