Armin goes Bananas

Readers of DJ Magazine recently voted this seminal Dutch dance demon “#1 DJ in the World” for the third year running. Meanwhile, with over 30 million listeners, van Buuren’s weekly show, A State of Trance, is the most listened to radio program on the planet. Van Buuren was also named “Best Trance DJ” last year at Ibiza. Is there anything Armin isn’t number one at? Strap a pair of Nike Yeezys on this guy and he’ll run circles around Usain Bolt while out-eating hot dog champ Takeru Kobayashi. His music may be shameless trance pop with lyrics like “love” and “dream” appearing in every chorus, but the formula works. Van Buuren’s beats make booties bounce, and his sticky-sweet vocal lines put Ibiza-sized smiles on every reveler’s face. This show will pack GT Banana’s spring-loaded dance floor, so book a table if you want room to pump your fist when the world’s #1 drops the bass on “In and Out of Love.”
