OUT NOW: Armin van Buuren – I Need You (feat. Olaf Blackwood) (Remixes)
Entering the fray are three exceptional remixes of Armin van Buuren’s recent smash with Garibay and Olaf Blackwood. Through the treatments of ANGEMI, Mokita and Galactic Marvl, ‘I Need You’ branches out to a three-piece package that’s as remarkably out-of-the-box as it is down-tempo goodness. It’s what you just have to feast your ears on.

Flashback to Armin van Buuren’s performance in front of the King and Queen of the Netherlands
With King’s Day 2017 just around the corner, it’s a good time to look back on one of Armin van Buuren’s biggest career highlights. In 2013, he teamed with the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra to perform ‘The Bolero’ and a special version of the title track of his ‘Intense’ album in front of the newly crowned King and Queen of the Netherlands. Don’t remember? Let the video refresh your memory.
Armin van Buuren – This Is A Test / The Train
Fresh from whipping up the crowd during the ‘Armin Only: Embrace’ world tour and featured on ‘A State Of Trance 2017’, ‘This Is A Test’ and ‘The Train’ are two superbly executed productions that deserve to be heard. From the monstrous bass in ‘This Is A Test’ to the anthemic melody and mighty drop in ‘The Train’, these tracks prove once and for all that Armin van Buuren’s musical creativity knows no bounds.
A State Of Trance 2017
When it comes to A State Of Trance, there’s no desire stronger. We need it in order to make the most of life, to fill the gap that would otherwise remain unfilled. To make us want to be in that moment, to have the very essence of our existence looking for that emotion. It’s what we live for.
With ‘A State Of Trance 2017’, the titans of Trance have gathered ´round to show us all that we envision. It is a happy place where we can celebrate music and life, chock-full with exclusive records and emotion-driven cuts from flag-bearers such as Alexander Popov, Armin van Buuren, MaRLo, Omnia, Orjan Nilsen, Protoculture, Super8 & Tab. The compilation has captured the essence of all we hold so dear, touching us in ways that makes us shine even brighter.
If you are part of the movement, you will share its beliefs and swear by its ideals. Yet, few words are needed to explain the feeling. One phrase says it all. I Live For That Energy.

Armin van Buuren first artist to release his set of Ultra Music Festival Miami on streaming platforms
Today, Armin van Buuren has become the first-ever artist to release his UMF set on streaming services. His set at the main stage of Ultra Music Festival Miami 2017, which is one of the most-viewed live sets of the festival on YouTube, is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer and more.
This year, Armin van Buuren performed on the main stage and on his own designated A State Of Trance stage during Ultra Music Festival Miami 2017, which is one of the biggest festivals in the world. His set on the main stage has now been made available on the world’s most popular streaming services, which also means that Armin van Buuren is the first artist to upload an Ultra set at the highest sound quality, as YouTube uploads have not yet been able to reach that level. Additionally, it ensures that Armada Music, the Amsterdam-based record label facilitating the upload, is the first record label to release a set of Ultra Music Festival on the streaming platforms.
