Last night, at the prestigious Buma Awards show in Studio 21 in Hilversum (NL), Armin van Buuren was awarded with no less than 3 Buma Awards! The prizes follow up on Armin’s ‘Gouden Harp’ award in 2010, the highest distinction a Dutch artist can get.

The Buma Awards Nationaal was handed to him for the staggering success of single ‘This Is What It Feels Like’, based on national sales and airplay. ‘This Is What It Feels Like’, the Grammy-nominated first single of his ‘Intense’ album, is Armin’s collaboration with Benno de Goeij and John Ewbank. Armin also received the Buma Award 2013 Filmmuziek is the prize he’ll share with Martijn Schimmer, Matthijs Kieboom and Benno de Goeij, for the music he produced on Dutch movie ‘Verliefd op Ibiza’.
On winning that award, Armin said the following:”I think it’s a great honour that I was asked to provide music for the movie – it was a really nice challenge. I’m very thankful that now, together with the composers and writers, I’ve been rewarded for that.”

A third prize, the Buma Awards International was awarded to Armin for the international success he had with ‘This Is What It Feels Like’.

The grandmaster pairs up with the new generation, resulting in a rendezvous of big-room meets trance.

Armin van Buuren and Andrew Rayel hit Mainstage Music with the mighty ‘EIFORYA’.

Good luck standing still to this one.

Some nights, you’ll never forget. A State of Trance 650 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was one of those. At the Ciudad del Rock, on March 1st, we partied for 9 non-stop hours! With people tuning in from all across the globe, and a crowd with relentless energy rocking until the very end, this was one for the books! Let’s relive this night, with the official aftermovie!

In this episode of Armin Only Intense Road Movie Armin and we see how the artists and crew handle an intense touring schedule!

First played during his Armin Only – Intense shows in Amsterdam, the long-awaited new Gaia tune remained a secret for months, leaving the fans guessing for months until he finally alleviated their growing anticipation.

At A State of Trance 650 in Moscow, he revealed ‘Empire Of Hearts’, and its impact has been unreal. The follow-up to ‘Stellar’, ‘Aisha’, ‘Humming The Lights’, ‘Tuvan’ and the early classic ‘4 Elements’ is every bit unique, carrying that special Gaia sound. It lures in the masses, and takes you when you least expect it.

With a special Gaia set scheduled for Ultra Music Festival in Miami, be prepared for many more of Armin’s Gaia madness to come.

Out now on Beatport!

Hot off the madness that was ASOT650 Santiago and Buenos Aires, we hooked up with Armin to ask him all about the fun of the ASOT tour, the challenges of combining it with Armin Only and his upcoming Ibiza residency at Ushuaia. Next to explaining the story of ‘Ping Pong’ and telling us all about his upcoming collaboration with Andrew Rayel, we also talk about the current state and future of trance, a weighty discussion that keeps the scene going these days. Armin: “Trance can be very addictive and this also shows you how much love there is for that sound. But music will always move on.“

One of the many gems of Armin van Buuren’s ‘Intense’ album featuring American singer-songwriter Lauren Evans, here’s the heartfelt ‘Alone’.

’Alone’ sends out a message, moves from within, and steals your heart. After hearing its first, stripped down version, Armin was hooked. Enraptured by its strong words and lyrical brilliance, he quickly matched it with a new instrumental. And together, they created musical magic. With a pair of mind-blowing vocals by Lauren and its high energy melody, it continues to make quite the show-stopper during the Armin Only – Intense world tour. And not just there, but anywhere it hits the speakers.
