Originally posted by eye_03 that was an awesome interview. i dont know where people get off calling armin a shitty DJ to me he is one of the best. yeah, i know ill get flamed.. dinks!

armin's truly is the best
I never can get enough of his music.

another nice interview

is it just me but did anyone else feel that AvB is cheapening himself by copying the likes of Tiesto?

"Armin-only" concert of 12,000 fans, DVD to be released soon, Shivers supposedly being "best dance album in the Netherlands". although i am very much an AvB fan the things the interview shows sort of cheapens it.

anyway, just my two cents.

I am annoyed by the fact that some celibrated fellow DJ’s can barely mix, but still get to be called ‘a superstar’. Apparently it’s not about the art of DJ-ing… I have noticed on more than one occasion that a set which grabs the people doesn’t have to consist of a good build-up, choice of records or skills anymore. My mixes of ‘A state of trance’ are all mixed tonally, but that has nothing to do with being a good DJ already or not. This can be kind of frustrating

I like this. I mean, the music he plays may rarely be my cup of tea (I prefer stuff with more teeth and less momentum-halting breakdowns/builds) but at least Armin tries to construct decent sets when we all know he could easily get away with less if he were so inclined.

It ONLY breeds positive vibes

Wow reading the "online" translation at 5am really made me think i was going crazy

say what you want about him and his cheesy music but he actually CAN mix as opposed to Tiesto so respect to him for that comment.

hehe or he is just not able to do what others did so he has to sell somethin more than others do and this should be mixing! Other djs are on the top because of other reasons which cannot apply to armins case so he has to (anyway) sell good mixing (other reasons force this too) so he gets to the top.

My opinion is from the moment that Armin used to produce stuff like Prodemium and Precious,Astronauts etc means that he really knows that todays trance is not an evolution towards music quality is an evolution towards industry success of him .
