During this episode of the Armin Only: Intense road movie, the Armin Only crew heads off to South America for 2 consecutive shows in Sao Paulo and Buenos Aires. With little time between the two shows, everyone’s stamina is put to the test as they experience real life on tour and the few hours of sleep that go along with it.

For the first time this tour, both shows will be performed outdoors. Whereas the show in Sao Paulo is protected against the elements by a huge tent, the show in Buenos Aires is plagued by heavy rain, wind and thunderstorms — begging the question of whether or not it’s still safe to continue the show. Even the pyro effects in the show pale in comparison to the magnitude and force with which the lightning strikes the terrain over and over again…

With the Argentinian military now giving regular weather updates, its time to decide whether to cancel the show or go ahead and conquer this storm…

The results are in, and Armin van Buuren has once again claimed the honor of DJ Mag’s ‘Highest Trance DJ’, reaching the number 3 spot in the world. Armin and the entire team working at Armada Music would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of those who supported him by voting in this year’s poll. Your support is what has built Armin’s career over all these years, and with each passing milestone, the journey becomes more and more outstanding.

2014 has been a great year for the man so far, with a Grammy nomination, multiple awards, and a highly successful ‘Armin Only’ world tour. With a new artist album on the way in 2015, we are extremely excited for what the next year will hold.

Once again: THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

After Armin’s new single ‘Hystereo’ entered the Dutch iTunes single charts at the #1 position, it went on to conquer dance floors around the world. Never one to rest on his laurels, Armin gave 3 different artists the chance to remix the tune, taking the song in wildly different directions. Heatbeat brought their signature progressive and heavy hitting sound to the song, while Thomas Vink brought the tempo down and turned up the subs. KhoMha’s not one to be outdone, delivering a staggering remix of his own. The Hystereo continues!
