Release Info:

It’s easy to forget how many life-changing songs Armin has produced over his staggering career, including records like his early UK chart hit ‘Blue Fear’ and his recent smash ‘This Is What It Feels Like’, which was certified platinum, gold, and silver around the globe.

In an era where trends come and go on a daily basis, one man has withstood the test of time again and again, achieving success through his unwavering support of the music he loves.

Armin van Buuren has had the fortitude to stay true to his values throughout an unrivaled DJ career, in which he was voted DJ Mag’s #1 DJ more than anyone in history. In addition to pioneering never-before-seen techniques in his live shows and concerts, Armin has always had his number one priority be the music itself. That sincerity is something the fans have always appreciated, as evidenced by his A State of Trance Radio Show, whose weekly listeners number in the 20 millions worldwide.

And so, with a deep respect for his loyal fans, Armin set out to create a different kind of record: one in which the fans played a key role. He reached out during his radio show and through his website and social media, giving the fans and the fans alone the chance to determine the track list of this incredible album. And they responded in droves. While each listener’s top 5 Armin favorites may be different, combined these are the fan-voted, greatest ‘Armin Anthems’ of all-time.

As we look back on records like ‘Shivers’, ‘Communication’, ‘This Is What It Feels Like’, and ‘In And Out Of Love’, we see more than just chart topping titles, hundreds of millions of YouTube views, a Grammy nomination, and countless other awards. We see music that has shaped and defined the current music climate in which we all live — championed by one of the greatest DJs the world has ever known — Armin van Buuren.

This is Armin Anthems.

During this episode of the Armin Only Intense movie the crew continues its journey across South America from Medellin to Quito, but just before leaving Buenos Aires, the crew gets rudely awakened by something that sounds like a bomb went off outside the hotel. Thankfully, no real harm was done and the crew was able to continue its journey without a scratch.….

What this episodes of the roadmovie perfectly illustrates, is that life on tour isn’t without its problems, as the airline company canceled the flight to Quito at the very last moment and leaves the crew with very little time to find another way to get into Columbia. As if this wasn’t enough, a 70 year old thief decides to steal Dennis’s bag and threatens to leave the crew without the show’s producer!

As always, all eventually falls into place and once again the Armin Only Intense team gets to see what they’re all doing it for; the unprecedented passion and love from their fans. Waiting in line as early as 7 o’clock in the morning, they inspire the crew to give away an incredible show!
