Armin van Buuren experimenting with dubstep and classical music on ‘Intense’

The #1 DJ in DJMag's poll, #2 in The Official Global DJ Rankings, Armin van Buuren sure has got as much talent as he does fans. Used to hearing trance-inducing epic stadium dance anthems, the die-hard fans might just be disappointed to hear about his influences for the forthcoming album. Labelled as the most out-of-the-box LP of the Dutch trance DJ, the hype is building steadily around his fifth artist album.


In addition to the exclusive premier of the first single, Armin also shared a few thoughths, on the last Pete Tong's 'Essential Selection':

"The main sound is a combination of more house-y electro stuff, and of course trance. Some rock influence, even a little bit of dubstep and classical music in there", he told, giving ground to even more anticipation. Dubstep, house, electro, rock, classical and trance emerged – is that enough out of the box for you?

Shot in the great Nevada desert, ‘This Is What It Feels Like’ is the first single that's going to be released 5th April, the same day the pre-ordering for 'Intense' starts. Check out the offical video!

DJ-Follower’s Daily Dose of Free Tunes: Major Lazer ‘Lazer Strikes Back’ Vol.2 + a Riton remix

Al contrario del pensamiento popular, el texto de Lorem Ipsum no es simplemente texto aleatorio. Tiene sus raices en una pieza cl´sica de la literatura del Latin, que data del año 45 antes de Cristo, haciendo que este adquiera mas de 2000 años de antiguedad. Richard McClintock, un profesor de Latin de la Universidad de Hampden-Sydney en Virginia, encontró una de las palabras más oscuras de la lengua del latín, "consecteur", en un pasaje de Lorem Ipsum, y al seguir leyendo distintos textos del latín, descubrió la fuente indudable. Lorem Ipsum viene de las secciones 1.10.32 y 1.10.33 de "de Finnibus Bonorum et Malorum" (Los Extremos del Bien y El Mal) por Cicero, escrito en el año 45 antes de Cristo. Este libro es un tratado de teoría de éticas, muy popular durante el Renacimiento. La primera linea del Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", viene de una linea en la sección 1.10.32 El trozo de texto estándar de Lorem Ipsum usado desde el año 1500 es reproducido debajo para aquellos interesados. Las secciones 1.10.32 y 1.10.33 de "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" por Cicero son también reproducidas en su forma original exacta, acompañadas por versiones en Inglés de la traducción realizada en 1914 por H. Rackham.
