God's Kitchen presents...

A long awaited F I R S T Seattle appearance by


ARMIN VAN BUUREN - www.godskitchen.com | www.arminvanbuuren.com




It all started in secondary school in the beginning of the 90's. Armin's big dance music inspirer in those days was Dutch Master Mixer Ben Liebrand. He bought himself two turntables, learned mixing quickly and soon began to create his own style. At the age of 16 Armin bought his first sampler, the Akai S-01. Although it was mono, he did everything with it that you could possibly imagine. The very first demo made was immediately included on a compilation. With the money he received from that deal Armin bought bigger and better equipment which resulted in his first vinyl release at the end of 1995.
Since 1995 Armin has released a lot of tracks on different labels with increasing success. The first big success was 'Blue Fear' on Cyber Records. This 'Euro trance blueprint' even made it into the UK Chart. On the same label he also released 'Communication' which caused serious damage on Ibiza in the summer of 1999. This track was signed to AM:PM and entered the UK Chart at #18 in 2000!

In the beginning of 1999 he started his label Armind with United Recordings. The first release, Gig - 'One', was very well received. The second release 'Touch Me' under the name of Rising Star was signed to Ministry Of Sound before the records hit the shelves. When Gimmick - 'Free' was signed to R&S Records it can certainly be said that Armin has managed to put his label on the map in no time. He released Gaia - '4 Elements' and teamed up with DJ Tiësto to do two productions; Major League - 'Wonder Where You Are?' was released on Blackhole and Alibi - 'Eternity', which was another great club success, was released on Armind. Eternity was licensed to Paul van Dijk's label Vandit Records and will be re-released this summer. Another collaboration followed; he joined forces with Ferry Corsten to record another riff-classic titled 'Exhale' for the System F. album.

Perpetuous Dreamer - 'The Sound Of Goodbye', which was already featured on AVB002, is now finally released on vinyl. A video will be shot soon and a commercial release is set for late August 2001.

On his own AVB compilation series he manages to find the perfect balance between progressive, techno and trance. Armin van Buuren 003 - In Motion will be released August 6th. Frequently check www.arminvanbuuren.com for more detailed information.

After remixing huge tracks such as Wamdue Project - 'King Of My Castle', Madison Avenue - 'Don't Call Me Baby' and Gouryella - 'Walhalla' Armin's a highly demanded remixer and he's turning down remix requests almost on a daily basis. In the near future Armin will focus more on his own productions and will work on tracks for his Rising Star album.

Armin's DJ career also took off big time. In the UK you can see him regularly at Passion, Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, Slinky, Peach, and on various locations all over the world (Jerusalem, Tokyo, Helsinki, Ibiza, Crete, etc.). This summer he will play numerous gigs at Ibiza and in the UK and will rock Crete, Dance Valley and the Fast Forward Parade.

"DID YOU KNOW"

Chad Owen spent over $9000 for doorknobs in his current house.

This would make a good first Trance concert, and finally something 18+ friendly.

That description of Armin is quite a bit old. Nice to have another good show to look forward to in Seattle. That'l make 4 of the top 6 DJ's in the world have come through here in the past 9 months. I'm hoping GK brings Jon O'Bir through here some time, although i dont think there are enough people in Seattle who are enough up on the scene to know they should show up at such a show.

w00t. now if i can find someone to go with i'm hella there. still not 21 tho
btw, is premier that new club that just opened last week???? the one right by safeco field??
No ticket price? the event is not listed on the ticket website.
should be around 30-40 tho, right?

Awesome... I've been hearing about this venue and was hoping Seattle would bring in someone to break it in right. Hopefully we give Armin the same welcome that we gave Ferry so that we'll get even more top artists to come through.

the initial break in will by Feb. 7th.. Oliver Lieb for $12

Yeah, I saw that, but I mean a true #3 world renowned DJ, strain-the-fire-codes, blow-out-the-windows, pass-out-in-the-gutter break in... Although Oliver Lieb may bring that himself, I just don't recognize his work. Can anybody suggest any tracks of his to get me acquainted?

Yeah i know what you mean ... i couldnt find any recent sets of his it the tracklisting forum. Only things ive heard from lately are Smoked - Metropolis and The Ambush - Acapulco. But he is a god as far as i'm concerned for his productions back in late 90's and early 00's. I guess i expect tech-trance and progressive from him .. but i'm not really sure.

I got my ticket!

I just need someone to go with now

I feel so spoiled here in seattle..so many awesome 18 and over shows here this winter

gots my ticket too i'll most likely be goin by myself. my friends aren't into "techno" LOL
