A mere week after Ferry Corsten’s A State Of Trance takeover, two other Trance icons have hosted a new episode of Armin van Buuren’s world-renowned radio show. Both Andrew Rayel and Ørjan Nilsen have filled in for the five-time #1 DJ in the world during the second week of his holiday and premiered some of their own new singles live during tonight’s 826th episode of A State Of Trance, all next to a gamut of Trance gems that made fans go wild.

In addition to the inclusion of Andrew Rayel’s ‘Never Let Me Go’ (feat. Angelika Vee) and Orjan Nilsen’s ‘Hi There Radio’, ‘Drowning’ (feat. IDA) and ‘Swoosh’, Andrew Rayel also seized the opportunity to share some great news with his fans. Live on air, he announced his own label called ‘In Harmony’ and premiered the imprint’s first release: ‘Mass Effect’.

Check out the full takeover of A State Of Trance episode 826 below.

After celebrating Mother’s Day about a month ago, let us now take a moment to appreciate all that dad has done for us. He is more than just the man who raised us together with mom. He is the one who never complains about having to pick us up when we’re having car trouble or need to go somewhere at some ungodly hour. Not all heroes wear capes, but Dad has earned the right to do so. So let us give give something back today. Happy Father’s Day!

From going head to head with Rico Verhoeven at the racing tracks in Zandvoort to working on a new track with Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano and presenting several hours of Fresh FM’s House Top 1000 in his own radio studio, Armin van Buuren has done plenty of exciting things in the past few days. For all of that and more, check out Armin van Buuren’s brand-new vlog!

About two weeks ago, we told you that Armin van Buuren would participate in a Dutch television show called ‘MindF*ck’ and that all Dutchies were able to tune in. But we also told you that we’d be looking into the possibility of making (part of) the show available to the rest of you, which is why you’re getting all excited now. And you should be, because you can now watch (part of) the show with English subtitles! So, let’s see Armin van Buuren get mindf*cked. 🙂

Two times 40,000 fans from 97 different countries in a sold-out Amsterdam ArenA, a behemoth LED screen (1200m2), two-hundred crew members, two-thousand blasts of fireworks and so much more. It’s no surprise that ‘The Best Of Armin Only’ truly was Armin van Buuren’s biggest solo show ever.

Armin van Buuren: “I’m still shaking from all this. This show, this crowd… It was absolutely phenomenal. I’m a bit bummed out that it has gone by so quickly, but I enjoyed this so, so much. I’d like to thank everyone for their support and all of their hard work, my fans of course and also Alda, 250K, DLP, Armada and Corrino Media Group. ‘The Best Of Armin Only’ isn’t just my ultimate highlight. It’s ours!”

The livestream on arminonly.tv, Facebook Live and Dutch television station RTL 4, which reeled in over 4.8 million viewers from all over the globe, showed the full extent of ‘The Best Of Armin Only’. Joined on stage by 22 artists, 45 dancers, ten acrobats, four trampolinists and a drum band of fifty-six strong, Armin van Buuren went all out on all fronts for ‘The Best Of Armin Only’. It is without doubt a show tantamount to the artistic stature of Armin van Buuren.

Past Saturday, before the start of the second show at the Amsterdam ArenA, Armin van Buuren launched his ‘The Best Of Armin Only’ album. The album captures the essence of all of Armin van Buuren’s previous ‘Armin Only’ shows and contains its highlights as well as the new music played during ‘The Best Of Armin Only’. The album is also available in a special box, which includes four photo cards, a custom-made sound box and 56 pages of exclusive photo material in addition to the two CDs.
