Armin van Buuren

Anyone who is into the electronic music scene knows the name; Armin van Buuren. Armin has been ranked #1 DJ in DJ Magazine's Top 100 fan poll 5 times, 4 of those times consecutive years between 2007 and 2010. Armin produces his own music under his label, Armada Music, and also hosts a weekly radio show A State of Trance which is one of the most listened to radio shows in the world. His uplifting music and energetic stage presence bring audiences of thousands to share in a mutual experience of his performances. His tracks are very transient and emotional, and the feelings he evokes in the hearts of his fans through his music make him a name worth mentioning to those who do not know of him.
