Biography
Armin van Buuren pursued his career as a professional musician
despite the promise of a career in law in his native country, the Netherlands,
where he completed his law degree in 2004. Armin started working as a D.J. in
a local nighub called Nexus, finished high school in 1995 and went on to
university to study law. Meanwhile, he moved his studio equipment from his
bedroom to a 'real' studio. The first tracks he produced in his new studio
were, among others, tracks like "Touch Me" and "Communication". Van Buuren
has been quoted as saying, "Don't be a prisoner of your own style." He has
described his musical style as "liberating, euphoric, uplifting, melodic and
energetic."
He hosts a weekly radio show A State of Trance, which mostly consist
of electro and other genres, rather than trance. The show completed its 300th
episode in May 2007, running for over 6 years.
In October 2002, van Buuren was voted Number 5 in the D.J. Magazine
100 top D.J.s. The following year, he jumped up to the #3 spot, and held 3rd
place for the next 3 years. His work left him at the #2 spot, just below Paul
van Dyk in the 2006 polls, and in 2007 Armin reached Number 1, heading the
2007 D.J. Mag Top 100.
As a producer
Van Buuren has always had his own studio and works alone the majority
of the time. He has never employed an engineer, claiming he does not want the
music to be altered by an engineer.
Since 1995, van Buuren has released many tracks on different labels
with increasing success. His first big success was "Blue Fear" on Cyber
Records at the tender age of 19. This 'Euro Trance blueprint' made it into
the UK Chart. "Communication" was released on the same label, and had a huge
impact on Ibiza, Spain in the summer of 1999. After being signed to AM PM
Records, this track entered the UK Chart at #18 in 2000.
In the beginning of 1999, van Buuren started his label Armind
together with United Recordings. The first release, Gig - "One", was well
received. The second release "Touch Me", under the name Rising Star was signed
to Ministry Of Sound in the UK, before the record was released.
By the time of his third release, Gimmick - "Free" was signed to R&S
Records, van Buuren had managed to make his label popular very quickly. Under
the surname Gaia he released "4 Elements" on Captivating Sounds, a sub-label
of Warner Brothers. Teaming up with D.J. Tiλsto, two new projects were born:
Major League - "Wonder Where You Are?" was released on Blackhole and Alibi -
"Eternity" was released on Armind. "Eternity" received club and chart success
and was signed to Paul van Dyk's imprint Vandit Records. Another major
collaboration followed this. Together with Ferry Corsten, van Buuren recorded
a riff-classic titled "Exhale" for the System F. album. Released as a single,
this track reached gold status in less than a month.
In 2000 van Buuren started his own AVB compilation series. He managed
to find a balance between progressive, techno and trance music styles. AVB001
- "A State of Trance" (not to be confused with his weekly ASOT radio shows)
sold more than 10,000 copies and contains van Buuren's well known remix of
Mogwai - "Viola." AVB002 "Basic Instinct" featured a new track: Perpetuous
Dreamer - "The Sound Of Goodbye". This track entered the Dutch charts in June
2001 at number 26. Later in the year the track hit #1 on the Hot Dance
Music/Club Play chart. AVB003 - "In Motion" was released August 6th 2001.
This album contained the real trance sound and was very popular in the US.
AVB004 - "Transparance" followed in 2002.
In March 2001 van Buuren started his own radio show on ID&T Radio.
In this weekly two-hour show, entitled 'A State of Trance', he plays the
latest popular trance music tracks. His show and the artists he features are
popularized by publishing the artists and track titles on his website. This
radio-show/website combination has proven popular internationally. When ID&T
Radio changed genres in 2004, van Buuren left and took A State of Trance with
him. The show then moved to Fresh FM, a Dutch radio station. It is now a
weekly feature on SLAM!FM, another Dutch radio station, DI.FM, an online
radio station, and on XM Satellite Radio channel 82 in the United States and
Canada. A complete list of stations that broadcast ASOT can be found at the
ASOT section of Armins website. Also in 2004, van Buuren remixed the 24 Theme
into a trance hit. In June 2005, the 200th episode was celebrated in Amsterdam
and subsequently aired on radio. The 250th (8 hour) anniversary episode was
celebrated in Club Asta in The Hague, The Netherlands, featuring van Buuren,
Jonas Steur, M.I.K.E., John Askew, Rank 1 and Menno De Jong.
On May 17, 2007, van Buuren began broadcasting the first of a two part
series of what would become his 300th episode of A State of Trance.
He has also worked on remix projects involving tracks by Japanese
superstar Ayumi Hamasaki.
