In 2011, he became second in the critically acclaimed popularity poll, taking in a Top 3 position for the 8th\u00a0year running. Being one of the world\u2019s most popular DJ\u2019s is just one of his many achievements, but the driving force behind his success is an overriding passion for dance music.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Awards &amp; Accolades<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even a basic list of recent successes reads like a lifetime of work: he was awarded with the prestigious Buma Cultuur Pop Award in 2008. This was followed by being voted as the Best Trance Artist in the Beatport Music Awards judged on the musician\u2019s artistic achievements, national and international success. Next to that, Armin was awarded for \u2018Best European DJ\u2019 at the 2009 IDMA Awards, followed by \u2018Best Global DJ\u2019 in 2010 and most popular International DJ at Australia\u2019s Sony inthemix DJ Poll, along with 3 other big Awards.

The Royal Distinction was handed to him after his set in hometown Leiden by mayor Lenferink of Leiden.

Armin\u2019s back catalogue includes Blue Fear, Communication, Sound of Goodbye, Shivers, Rush Hour, Burned With Desire, Exhale, Love You More, This World Is Watching Me, and Yet Another Day. While the remix offers flood in, Armin only takes on tracks that he really loves. He uses exactly the same criteria for his compilations, meaning that every release from Armin or his long-running Armind or A State of Trance label is a bone fide stormer that\u2019s earned its place. His output includes tracks for the cult TV series 24 and the likes of Motorcycle, The Killers, Faithless, BT and Kerli.<\/p>\n<p>But, as a true artist befits, Armin keeps creating new music and has released his fourth artist album, \u2018Mirage\u2019, in September 2010.

He reports about the hectic life of one of the most popular DJ\u2019s of this moment. During the process of writing \u2018Armin Only\u2019, Armin was voted \u2018most popular DJ of the world\u2019 by the readers of British Magazine DJ Mag in their annual \u2018DJ Mag Top 100\u2032. Coen Bom challenged himself to dig deep in Armin\u2019s past and present to find an answer to the question \u2018what is the key to Armin\u2019s success?\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How it all began<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Born in Leiden, Holland (on December 25, 1976) to a musical family, Armin indulged his passion for music from a young age. He spent all the money he earned with his paper round on records. His mum won a computer when he was 10, gaining Armin\u2019s interest. \u201cSo as a little nerdy kid I was writing my own basic programs, and learnt about the technology from there.\u201d He progressed from making low-profile mix tapes for friends to higher profile mixes when he discovered experimenting with different sequences on his computer through his uncle. \u201cI was so stunned by what I saw him doing on the computer, that I got addicted to creating music right there and then!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI loved dance music immediately \u2013 this great rebellious sound that was so different to the \u2018beautiful\u2019 songs of the years before\u201d. Armin cites electronic pioneer Jean Michel Jarre as a major influence, as well as Dutch producer Ben Liebrand, who later mentored him in his mixing and producing.<\/p>\n<p>In the early days, Armin thought it was wise to have something extra in case the dj\u2019ing didn\u2019t work out. So he studied for a law degree. The final year of his course was inevitably stretched as he juggled his studies with his increasingly hectic schedule; his rise to fame included lots of productions and remixes, as well as playing out to packed clubs every weekend. It took him three years to graduate, but his determination made him succeed!<\/p>\n<p>Armin is a dedicated trance lover, but isn\u2019t imprisoned by a single genre, saying \u201cWhat makes trance work so well is that it doesn\u2019t stick to one style, and can incorporate electro, minimal, whatever it likes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The main ingredient to Armin\u2019s life will always be music. \u201cThis is just what I really want,\u201d says Armin. \u201cIt\u2019s not just love for music, it\u2019s my passion. It goes beyond liking, and beyond a hobby, it\u2019s about a way of living. Music is essential to my life\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Genre: Trance Country: Netherlands Armin van Buuren has been named number one in the prestigious
