Reviews & Discussion
Number 3 in the world according to mixmag, the guy has to be doing something right.
I was dubious when i first decided to listen to Armin. Being of a strong disposition to harder styles of trance and tracks with more tech or acid influence, it was an exercise in open-mindedness to sit down and actually listen to his tracks. Blue Fear was my first exposure to him, which i enjoyed alot. However, i didn't really become enthralled with any of his music until I heard his live stuff. His "A State of Trance" radio show really shows you his talents. Thats a two hour set every week, with some sweet track selections that have influenced the trance vinyl going into my crate over the past two years. His style is consistent through his sets; emulating the old Tiesto & Ferry Corsten sound with a softer edge, while still adding that elusive elemnt that can only be attributed to Armin himself.
I'm going to keep my eye on this guy, I don't know enough about him yet, but i haven't heard anything negative. Let's hope he carves his own niche without turning into an Oakenfold.

Slowly but steady he is turning more and more commercial.
The latest in his effort to make more and more money (how much is enough) he is now turning to you. Yes you.
He is coming after you if you dear to download his music. Yes you read it right: he and his record company wants to sue people if you download his music. Through his record company Armada Music he is ready to sue you if you download (!) his music.
As if he is not rich enough.
Very strange because his succes as a dj is also generated through internet and the internet community. If it wasn't for internet and we the music lovers he was next to nothing in the music industry. So he should be very grateful for us the music lovers and internet.
But no he's going to sue you.
Thanks a lot "music lover".
Watch your wallet. Armin van Buuren is in the house.
