It’s a song that captures Armin van Buuren’s artistic versatility in its entirety, which makes it the perfect anthem for ‘The Best Of Armin Only’.

Simultaneously with the release of ‘My Symphony’ on Armind, Armin van Buuren launched the pre-order of his ‘The Best Of Armin Only’ album today.

As can be said of the album, the ‘The Best Of Armin Only’ shows are where Armin van Buuren’s twenty years as an artist come together, from his first club memories to all of his personal highlights.

With King’s Day 2017 just around the corner, it’s a good time to look back on one of Armin van Buuren’s biggest career highlights. In 2013, he teamed with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra to perform ‘The Bolero’ and a special version of the title track of his ‘Intense’ album in front of the newly crowned King and Queen of the Netherlands. Don’t remember? Let the video refresh your memory.

Fresh from whipping up the crowd during the ‘Armin Only: Embrace’ world tour and featured on ‘A State Of Trance 2017’, ‘This Is A Test’ and ‘The Train’ are two superbly executed productions that deserve to be heard. From the monstrous bass in ‘This Is A Test’ to the anthemic melody and mighty drop in ‘The Train’, these tracks prove once and for all that Armin van Buuren’s musical creativity knows no bounds.

When it comes to A State Of Trance, there’s no desire stronger. We need it in order to make the most of life, to fill the gap that would otherwise remain unfilled. To make us want to be in that moment, to have the very essence of our existence looking for that emotion. It’s what we live for.

With ‘A State Of Trance 2017’, the titans of Trance have gathered ´round to show us all that we envision. It is a happy place where we can celebrate music and life, chock-full with exclusive records and emotion-driven cuts from flag-bearers such as Alexander Popov, Armin van Buuren, MaRLo, Omnia, Orjan Nilsen, Protoculture, Super8 & Tab. The compilation has captured the essence of all we hold so dear, touching us in ways that makes us shine even brighter.

If you are part of the movement, you will share its beliefs and swear by its ideals. Yet, few words are needed to explain the feeling. One phrase says it all. I Live For That Energy.
