biography
A progressive trance DJ and producer whose cinematic sound is influenced by synth pioneers like Klaus Schulze and Jean-Michel Jarre, Armin van Buuren enjoys worldwide recognition and a frantic schedule that takes him all over the globe. Born on December 25, 1976, in Leiden, Holland, his father was an avid record buyer and Armin became interested in music at an early age. A close friend introduced him to the world of dance music, and the Dutch DJ and remixer Ben Liebrand quickly became his main inspiration. It lead van Buuren to start investigating the roots of the electronic music he was becoming fond of, and numerous Jarre and Schulze CDs were acquired. Computers and turntables were also purchased, and creating his own music became a priority. In 1995 van Buuren attended the Leiden University and a local student club provided the venue for his first DJ gigs. The same year he was fortunate enough to have some demos included on compilations, and when the money came in, it was rolled back into producing 12"s. Cyber Records released his first hit, "Blue Fear," in 1995, and by 1999 his "Communication" was successful enough to get him signed to AM:PM. He also formed his own label, Armid, in 1999 and met Dave Lewis, a man responsible for jump-starting the careers of DJ Tiësto and Ferry Corsten. A collaboration with Tiësto yielded his biggest hit yet on Armid, "Eternity," and marathon five-hour sets brought him more attention. High-profile remixes of Madison Avenue's "Don't Call Me Baby" and Wamdue Project's "King of My Castle" followed, and numerous mix CDs were released on United Recordings. 2002 found him placing number five in DJ Magazine's Top 100 and hosting his own weekly show on the Dutch ID&T radio station. By the end of 2003 he found time to set the worldwide record for longest DJ set (12 and a half hours at a club in The Hague), finish his law degree, and release his first non-mix CD, 76. ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide

- He doesn't have that name for no reason. I've now seen Above & Beyond and Paul Van Dyk - still waiting to see Tiesto - and while all the shows have been amazing, Armin remains number one. Best tunes, best mixes, most explosive shows. Amazing. I cannot wait to see him next week at the Roseland Ballroom in NYC. Third time, and I've never been more excited! ARMIN!!!!!

- New Years Eve in LA with Armin Only was Fantastic. He is coming back to Toronto on March 21/09. Canada loves him. Armin is #1, however Toronto DJ Minister has the best play list and spins the best trance.
Look for him online as well.

- I've seen DJ Tiësto in concert, I've seen BT in concert but I've never seen a person so able to control the crowd like Armin van Buuren did last night at Ibiza. He was just awe-inspiring and fully worth going to see. If he's in your area go and see him in concert as well as buy Imagine by him. It's worth every penny.

- Heyy, keep up the good work, 'Universal Religion 2008' was awesome! Your Album 'A State of Trance 2005' has got to be your best, but the whole Discography is damn sweet! My bro went to see you recently, says you utterly swamped the decks! Cheers for everything, your mixes have got me through loads of tedious coursework sessions!<br/><br/>Ryan
