Well actually, believe it or not, there was a little bit of space to experiment. How did you choose the tracks to play when you have to do the best of? I can't really do anything bigger because there's no bigger it's the biggest stadium in Holland. Two nights, sold out, live on national TV. It's got to be last year when I did the Amsterdam Arena stadium called T he Best of Armin Only, which was showcasing 20 years of my music with all my fans, all my tours, All the artists that I ever worked with. What is your most memorable tour stop or show? I actually enjoy reading biographies and watching documentaries. I've been watching Robert Robert Kennedy assassination. Currently, I like documentaries on Netflix a lot. I'm watching Casa de Papel (Money Heist) right now. Mostly, I'm actually pretty boring at home. How do you relax when you get home from tour? So I think my managers just keeps it on just for the sake of it. But for some reason, there's always a bottle of wine in the dressing room. Well for some reason I've been trying to get the bottle of red wine off of the rider because I don't really drink red wine anymore, especially not after a gig. The most ridiculous thing I have on my rider? I don't know even know my rider. What is the most ridiculous thing you put on your rider they’ve fulfilled? Somebody just bought a brand new extremely expensive BMW with all white leather seats and they asked me to write with a big marker on top. Oh well, I have to mention the white BMW again. Now I hear the master back, I'm like, “Oh I should have done this or that should have been louder or.”, it’s never perfect. There are so many albums of mine and tracks that I think I should have done that or even with “Blah Blah Blah”. As soon as I finish a track, I start remixing it and you make mashups and you export acapella so you can put it on top of other tracks. When you're writing a track, how do you decide when you're done and when it's finished? So the idea of inspiration actually comes from my kids.
I started to see how important that is actually for the education of kids - learning nursery rhymes school.
I was I was at home sitting next to my daughter and she was telling me how she learned all these naughty rhymes in school, like with swear words and stuff that parents aren’t supposed to know. And I said to him, “What if we have vocal like that but on a psy-trance inspired triple-drop,” and he says, “So what are you thinking lyrically?”. He has written a lot of really big tracks and I know that he's been working with his son on the Galantis track. He was on tour with me on the Embrace Tour and we became close friends. The story started with Bullysongs, who was a good friend of mine and I did a couple of tracks with him “Freefall” and “Caught in the Slipstream”. "Blah Blah Blah" - what was your inspiration for the track?Īrmin: Well, actually I understood a lot of people thought it was something to say to all the haters, but it wasn't. We caught up with him right before his show in New York, just in time to see him play The Brooklyn Mirage with Alpha 9. His weekly radio show, "A State of Trance", boasts over 38 million listeners in more than 80 countries, and he has performed at the biggest and best shows and festivals around the world.
As one of the most influential musicians in electronic music, he has topped the Dj Mag Top 100 DJs poll a record of 5 times. Armin van Buuren is a legend in the dance music industry.
