Armin van Buuren (born in Leiden, Netherlands on 25 December 1976)
is a Dutch trance producer and DJ. In 2007, 2008, and 2009 he was
voted number one in DJ Magazine's annual top 100 list of the most
popular DJ's.[1] Since 2001 van Buuren has hosted a weekly radio
show called A State of Trance and claims to have over 30 million
weekly listeners in more than 40 countries, which would make it
the most listened radio show in the world. His 2008 studio album,
Imagine, entered the Dutch album chart at #1, a first for a dance
artist in Dutch music history.[2]
van Buuren has always had his own studio and worked alone in the
beginning of his career. Since the release of his third studio
album Imagine from 2008 he has been working with Benno de Goeij
of Rank 1 on all solo productions and remixes. He is well known
for his annual "Year Mix" which incorporates clips and custom
mashups from the year's most popular trance tracks. Each
year-mix consists of about 85 individual releases, edited
into a 2 hour mix which is released on double CD as well as
aired on his weekly radio show at the end of each year.
According to van Buuren, each year-mix takes several months
to make, including thousands of digital audio edits and
hundreds of audio plugins.
