When you get to celebrate the milestone number of 1500 (!) label releases, you better choose the right track for the job. Armin van Buuren got to decide for himself as his Armind label reached the aforementioned number, and what better choice than a highly anticipated, stadium-quivering blast of Trance that truly is in a league of its own: ‘Stickup’.

Bringing the classic Trance sound back to the current era, ‘Stickup’ sees Armin van Buuren go all out with guns blazing. Holding the crowd hostage for a few minutes of fist-pumping, ‘Stickup’ offers a moment of thrill and utter madness you’ll find yourself talking about for several weeks straight.

‘Stickup’ has been a mainstay in Armin van Buuren’s live sets for a long time now. First played at A State Of Trance 900 in Utrecht, the track is now featured prominently on his new ‘A State Of Trance, Ibiza 2019’ album and ready to blow speakers to pieces across the globe now that it’s officially available for listeners worldwide.

Though little is known thus far about Avian Grays, the fact they’ve already been played by Armin van Buuren during Miami’s Ultra Music Festival and EDC Las Vegas speaks volumes. Idyllic trance of pianos played by angels, guitars sitting on the edge of the universe, Jordan Shaw’s sensitive vocals plotting destiny, and the usual standards of carefree elevation and fun, tingling bounce, ‘Something Real’ is destined for the open air, met with clubbers for as far as the eye can see.

When you’re tasked with recording vlogs amidst a hectic tour schedule, you might forget once or twice to record the moment for future generations. That’s exactly what happened this week, but luckily, it was only for a brief moment. Still plenty of amazing moments to go around this week, so dive into Armin van Buuren’s brand-new vlog right now!
