03:00 Writer: Andrew Bullimore - Josh Record - Jeremy Bunawan - Timothy Rothwell - Alfio Raymond "Blah Blah Blah" - what was your inspiration for the track?Armin van Buuren Radio. A popular radio performer in the Netherlands with a weekly show. Armin van Buuren is a Dutch DJ and record producer known for hit trance releases in his homeland and success on the American charts.
The story started with Bullysongs, who was a good friend of mine and I did a couple of tracks with him “Freefall” and “Caught in the Slipstream”. Armin: Well, actually I understood a lot of people thought it was something to say to all the haters, but it wasn't. From the mesmerizing piano tones in the heart-stirring breakdown to the gated synths and melodies that radiate nothing but pure and uplifting emotion, this record does exactly what Armin.
Supercharging his recent collab with the incredibly talented Davina Michelle, Armin van Buuren applies his signature Club Mix treatment to the empowering ‘Hold On’.So you're on the 850th A State of Trance, did you ever think you'd get to 850?No, I thought 500 would be good after 10 years. So the idea of inspiration actually comes from my kids.Out Now On ARMIND: Armin van Buuren & Davina Michelle Hold On (Club Mix) September 24, 2021. I started to see how important that is actually for the education of kids - learning nursery rhymes school. I was I was at home sitting next to my daughter and she was telling me how she learned all these naughty rhymes in school, like with swear words and stuff that parents aren’t supposed to know. And I said to him, “What if we have vocal like that but on a psy-trance inspired triple-drop,” and he says, “So what are you thinking lyrically?”. He has written a lot of really big tracks and I know that he's been working with his son on the Galantis track.
Well, mostly it's become bigger. Now, I have to mix live living one take which sometimes I make little mistakes and stuff the people actually appreciate that.How has the music scene changed since you started?It's big. I actually enjoy it now more than I ever did because I used to stare at an Ableton screen and mix all the tracks together barely hearing all the songs, to be honest. I find it really scary because I felt like I sort of jumped into the deep. Last year I made a big bold move to do a weekly broadcast video which a lot of people actually like. A lot of new talent coming off, the psy-trance inspired trance music is so huge right now.
I mean obviously there are still analog instruments used but dance music has spread like an oil stain through every other genre.When you're writing a track, how do you decide when you're done and when it's finished?It's never finished. I think 99 percent of all the top 40 music right now is dance music inspired, it’s sequence based music. A part of dance music has become radio stuff. But I don't think that you can really say that there's a difference between dance and for example commercial pop. Everybody was expecting that it would be gone.
Oh yeah.What is the most ridiculous thing you put on your rider they’ve fulfilled?The most ridiculous thing I have on my rider? I don't know even know my rider. Somebody just bought a brand new extremely expensive BMW with all white leather seats and they asked me to write with a big marker on top. I think that was in Vancouver. Now I hear the master back, I'm like, “Oh I should have done this or that should have been louder or.”, it’s never perfect.Oh well, I have to mention the white BMW again. There are so many albums of mine and tracks that I think I should have done that or even with “Blah Blah Blah”.
I don't think there's ever been a flight in the last three years that I haven't closed my eyes. I sleep on planes all the time. So I think my managers just keeps it on just for the sake of it.Window, to sleep. But for some reason, there's always a bottle of wine in the dressing room.
It’s strange because you would think having kids you would have less time and I actually do have less time, but I guess I'm more efficient. Ever since I became a father of two I don't think I've ever been more productive. Working on the Gaia album which is what a lot of people are asking. There's a lot of music coming.
