I hate how Lange is pronounced. I heard an announcer say it in a live set and I was stunned, I thought "man I've been saying it wrong all this time!" and I like my way better.
Here are some good ones...
Miika Kuisma
Bakke & Ljungqvist
For some reason I pronounced Probspot as Probe-spot...it just came out that way, it's probably really pronounced Prob-spot. |
The best way for me to describe Bakke is Buck-a. But not quite. It's Norwegian and is hard to describe to the average English speaker. Ljungqvist I would assume the j is silent and I still don't know how to describe it. Can say it, but don't know how to conceptualize it.
I heard Zabs is Zabeela.
I think the Ministry of Sound session w/ PVD pronounces his name Paul Fan Dook.
How about Hernan. I assume Cat-a-neo, but it could be Catt-an-yo. |

actually, the L is silent. Ljung is pronounced kinda like jung in jungle. qvist is pronounced like kwist as in twist. |

The J is softer in Ljungqvist. Well, I guess it depends on how you pronounce Jungle. |

Ok, ok. Just kidding, but how 'bout Szczepanski. |

| That's different. Finnish is always pronounced the way it's written, Polish is not. And please, English-speaking people; learn how to say "Ä", do not pronounce it as a simple "A". |

It came from Armin's mouth like that. If he can't pronounce his own name, I'd be a bit worried about the state of his mental health. |
It is 'Armin van Buuren'. But I don't think the English language actually contains the letter 'U' as it is pronounced in Holland.
In England, the letter 'U' is pronounced as 'you'. In the Netherlands we just say 'U'.
Here's a sample: Pronouncing 'Armin van Buuren' in Dutch (with thanks to my little brother) |

Well, i'm not going to do that. I'm Dutch, not Japanese or Norwegian/Swedish/Finnish or whatever. |

Zabiela is indeed pronounced Zabeela, I've asked him myself in person. |

Armin -> pretty basic, can't go wrong there
van -> the 'a' as in want, then put a v in front and an n after it ;)
Buuren -> the 'uu' is like the u in 'fuhrer', but pronounced the German way, not the English way, so not like Fjoerer or however you guys seem to slaughter it ;) then after the u the 'ren' is pronounced as 'run' in English, although the u is stressed.
Only word I could come up with that rhymed with the 'u' tune (there are tons of dutch word that have that particular u tone in it) that foreigners will probably know. |

Zabiela is a Italian style name, so some people would say "Zab-e-ella", while James himself says "Za-bee-la".
I'm usually say it the first way because I am Italian. |
