Armin van Buuren: Ibiza interview

We caught up with ‘world’s number 1 DJ’ ahead of his Armada set at Amnesia last night to find out what his favourite track is at the moment, who he thinks will be trance’s next hero, and what he’d most like to change about dance music if he could.

Here’s a video I filmed from the DJ booth of Amnesia in Ibiza, which shows Dutch trance DJ Armin Van Buuren playing an amazing trance record - DJ Shah ‘Back To You’.

Ibiza Rocks?

Is diversity always a good thing?

The scene outside the Ibiza Rocks hotel last night wasn’t something you’d expect to see in Ibiza. A hoard of skinny-jeaned, converse-wearing, Pete Doherty hat-sporting NME wannabes congregating on the streets of San Antonio in anticipation for the live bands they were about to see.

Global Gathering UK: Headliner Kanye West

Music mash up gone mad?

The great thing about music is that there’s something for everyone, and everyone’s entitled to their own tastes.

Global Gathering UK: Trance headliners

“I really don’t like that,” said one trance fan as Armin van Buuren climbed onto the decks in the Godskitchen Arena after playing his set at this year’s Global Gathering. “He’s not that good.”

But thousands disagreed. After playing a set that blinding, he could re-enact Michael Jackson’s controversial Jesus impression and even Jarvis Cocker wouldn’t protest.

Global Gathering: Micky Slim

Micky Slim is one of those rare artists who fully embraces the culture of dance music.

He remembers why he got into the scene in the first place, which is why he made the effort to attend this year’s UK Global Gathering for the whole weekend, rather than simply flying in, playing his set and leaving.

In fact, he enjoyed mingling with the other festival goers so much he stood us up twice because he was having such a good time! But when we finally did catch up with the electro house DJ from Birmingham, here’s what he had to say.

Global Gathering: The Proof that Trance Music is alive and well!

At the UK’s Global Gathering event last weekend, the Godskitchen Arena (Europe’s largest festival tent) was as it usually is; packed out throughout the whole of the weekend.

Most of the people we asked said they had gone to the festival to see the trance headliners and all of the music we heard being played on iPod docking stations around the campsite was trance (mainly Sander van Doorn), with the exception of some Deadmau5 (even his records often contain some trance-like qualities).

Earlier this year, Dutch trancer Marcel Woods became the first artist to headline both Sensation White and (the harder trance event) Sensation Black in one season.
