I don't see why Armin would be teasing us with this track and keeping it secret if he wouldn't have anything to do with it

He just says big news soon yes, but what is gonna be released soon?
his album

ahh, useful info .. these 2 are 2 good options. i pretty sure this ID will get a name eventually, also keeping in mind what XDR told us ...

I am now pretty sure that this is a remake of Souvenir De Chine.

As some of you may know Souvenir De Chine (Souvenir of China) was originally written and composed by Jean-Michel Jarré and later remixed by Fire & Ice, Shane 54 and Stargaze.
Now, Armin has stated multiple times in interviews that he is a huge fan of Jarré's work, so it would really come as no surprise if he would make a remix of one of his compositions

I also think Dutch pianist and composer Jan Vayne might have been involved in this remake. In the booklet of Classical Trancelations (a project by Vayne & Van Buuren) Armin says that Jan Vayne has worked with him on his new album.

Even though the melody might have been altered a bit (as some people already said) this doesn't mean it can't be a remake of Souvenir de Chine. Remixing a track does not automatically mean that you keep the melody exactly the same

So until we get more info from Armin himself I am gonna call this tune:
Armin van Buuren - Souvenir de Chine

I agree that it is harder than his usual productions, but also considering some of the harder tunes he spins in his sets, it would not be strange to try something different for a change. I still think this production has some typical Armin sounds in it though

BTW: I also really like that tingle-ing sound in this tune that you hear before the break drops in, it is very recognisable and makes you aware of what's coming
