After the crowd’s massive response to their two previous collaborations, Armin van Buuren and Shapov have unleashed their third joint offering after ‘The Last Dancer’ and ‘Our Origin’: ‘La Résistance De L’Amour’. 

Armin van Buuren and Shapov’s three-track ‘Trilogy’ pack is essential for any dance music fan. From the inaugural ‘The Last Dancer’ to Tomorrowland tastemaker ‘Our Origin’ and the before-mentioned new addition, this triple-threat release will have fans pumping their fists in the air from the early evening to the first morning light.

Armin van Buuren: “Shapov and I obviously hit it off in the studio and I really think it shows. When I played ‘La Résistance De L’Amour’ at ASOT 900 Utrecht and ASOT Ultra recently, the crowd went nuts. I’m really proud of all three records we made together and honestly think each track is a perfect combination of our sounds.”

Shapov: “To me, ‘Trilogy’ is how Shapov and Armin sound together, how Progressive House meets Trance. Every track has its own atmosphere and emotion. It’s all beautiful melodies, epic build-ups and music from the heart, and I think that’s why these tracks work so well when played live.”

In an industry that seems to evolve each time you blink, remaining innovative and creative is what’s needed to keep functioning at top level. Both Armin van Buuren and fellow-countrymen Lucas & Steve seem to have mastered this skill and it shines through fully in their new summer-scented single, which saw its release today during Miami Music Week. Easily one of the most exciting pop-dance tracks of the year, ‘Don’t Give Up On Me’ shows what happens when two of electronic music’s hottest acts of the moment sit down in the studio together to make magic happen, and also comes with a spectacular music video that gets the adrenaline surging.

A sun-drenched, summer-tinged masterpiece set to shine all throughout the year, ‘Don’t Give Up On Me’ sees five-time #1 DJ in the world Armin van Buuren link up with electronic music sensations Lucas & Steve and L.A.-based singer-songwriter Josh Cumbee, who previously worked with Armin van Buuren on summer smash ‘Sunny Days’. From the hooking vocals to the danceable rhythms to the gentle guitar tones, this lovely crossover cut will infect the crowd in no time.

Armin van Buuren: “I had so much fun working with these guys. I knew Josh from his amazing work on ‘Sunny Days’ and had always wanted to produce a record together with Lucas & Steve, simply because these guys are extremely talented. I had a blast and I think the quality of the record shows it, as these guys really worked their magic. I’m super happy with the result.”

Lucas & Steve: “Armin’s music inspired us a great deal back when we were young; we’ve both got some of his music on vinyl back at home. So, naturally, we thought it was super cool to finally produce a track with him that really merges our respective sounds. We’re very proud of this song!”

Josh Cumbee: “I’m so excited to be releasing ‘Don’t Give Up On Me’ with Armin and Lucas & Steve! The song has been an amazing journey, from heartfelt writing sessions to incredible production and a music video shoot that was every bit as fun as it looks. I’m honored to be sharing such a beautiful tune with these legends and I hope you all love it as much as we do!”
