This is the hotly anticipated 3rd studio album from the brand new no.1 DJ in the world. Of course Armin van Buuren is more than just a DJ. A prolific producer and top class performer, he has grafted for more than decade to get to where he is today. ‘Imagine’ is the result of 2 years of hard work and we are confident to say we reckon this represents some of his best work yet!
“One of the beautiful things about being human is that we can imagine, create and escape back into our imagination,” said Armin, speaking exclusively about his new work. “Imagine for me stands for the way I visualise music when I listen to it, and a lot of people have that same connection with music, especially trance which is so emotionally driven.”
And it’s emotion that pulsates throughout this 11 track piece from a man who continues to inspire other artists and clubbers around the world. From the sensational rock-opera introduction to Imagine with Armin’s brother on guitar, to the sublime tones of vocalists Jennifer Rene, Cathy Burton, Audrey Gallagher, Vera Ostrova, Sharon den Adel and more, this is production at its very best. Elegant and awesome, it is the true work of a master at the peak of his game.
“Some of the tracks are more melodic and chilled than past productions,” he explained, “but the great thing about trance is in the number of guises that it comes in. The intro track, Imagine, is an instrumental that takes in a number of different styles – orchestral elements, guitars, kick drums – trance has been criticised for being stuck in one formula but if you look around that just isn’t the case.”
Armin will be showcasing this all-encompassing sound with a series of 9-hour ‘Armin Only’ international tour dates including Romania, Australia, Toronto, Poland and the Czech Republic as well as a live show on Dutch TV. These shows, along with a radio show that broadcasts across 40 FM stations and countless internet and satellite networks to over 6 million listeners a week, cement his status as the leading DJ in the world. But all of that is nothing without the passion he injects into his music.
“A lot of tracks are about love,” continued Armin, “one of the ultimate triggers of emotion on all ends of the spectrum. I’ve loved putting them together, from sitting down and writing them to arranging and recording them. I tell all of the producers on Armada to do something they love, not just to produce what people expect, and this is what I’ve done with Imagine.”
After hearing Imagine, we defy anyone not to fall in love with it...
