Who is Armin van Buuren in the Netherlands?
Armin van Buuren is the Netherlands' most-exported electronic-music figure. From Leiden, he’s been ranked DJ Mag’s #1 DJ in the world five times (2007-2012) and consistently sits in the global top three. His weekly A State of Trance radio show has run for over twenty years and reaches millions of listeners. Armin’s Dutch fingerprints are everywhere: he co-founded Armada Music, headlines Amsterdam Dance Event every October, and pulls fans from Norway, Argentina, and the US to Dutch festival circuits like Tomorrowland Belgium and Mysteryland.
In this clip, a Dutch fan meets him: “Ben je helemaal uit Noorwegen hierheen gekomen? Ja. Ongelooflijk.” The fan flew in just for the moment.
