He has been named number one in the prestigious DJ MAG Top 100 poll four times in a row, from 2007 till 2010 and for the 5th time in 2012. He's the first DJ in the history of the DJ Magazine to achieve that and an indication of his prolific output over more than 14 years he’s been dj’ing and producing. Being the official World’s Most Popular DJ is just one of his many achievements, but the driving force behind his success is an overriding passion for electronic dance music.
2008 began with the success that the number one DJ seems to attract; he was awarded with the prestigious Buma Cultuur Pop Award in January. This was followed by being voted as the Best Trance Artist in the Beatport Music Awards in March; judged on the musician’s artistic achievements, national and international success, it is evident that Armin van Buuren has become one of the decade’s most influential trance acts.
Even a basic list of recent successes reads like a lifetime of work: ‘Best Album’ for artist album ‘Shivers’ at both the Dutch Release Dance Awards and the prestigious Edison Awards; ‘Best Compilation’ for ‘A State Of Trance’, in 2006, claiming the ‘Best European DJ’ award in 2007 and ‘Best Mix Radio Show’ at the Miami Winter Music Conference in 2006 and 2007, for radio show ‘A State Of Trance’ – now broadcasting on a massive 40 FM stations as well as satellite and internet radio, with over 26 million listeners a week; a 5th year residency in Ibiza at Amnesia and over 50,000 downloads every week from podcasting high end chart-bothering positions all over the world for singles, albums and compilations , with single “Rush Hour” used as the theme tune to the UEFA European Youth Championship; the #1 entry in the Dutch album charts with his artist album ‘Imagine’, the #1 entry of the DVD registration of ‘Armin Only ‘ Imagine’ – the landmarks just keep coming!
The 350th episode and the 7th year of the hit radio show ‘A State of Trance’ was celebrated in May 2008 with an eight hour live broadcast from Antwerp in Belgium to over 40 radio stations internationally. Fans were invited to a free party with a line up that had been voted for by the show’s listeners; another example of the importance the DJ places on the satisfaction of his fans. Considering the popularity of the radio show the introduction of ‘A State of Trance Podcast’ was a natural progression. The weekly podcasts which contain highlights and Armin’s favourite tracks from the previous episode ensure that trance lovers across the world will never miss another episode!
Sold-out shows for Armin Only in 2005 and 2006 created eager anticipation of the third edition, which kicked off in a sold-out Jaarbeurs in Utrecht in 2008; over 16,000 fans attended and were enthralled by the DJ’s nine hour set. The theme of the night was ‘Imagine’, described by Armin as “the celebration of our sensations both in life and in clubland.” Fans all around the world should not despair, as ‘Armin Only’ tour dates have also been set for Romania, Poland, Belgium and Australia; the DJ will also be touring in England, Scotland, Ibiza, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, and the USA, with expected dates in, for an example, the Czech Republic.
Born in Leiden, Holland (on December 25, 1976) to a musical family, Armin indulged his passion for music from a young age. He spent all the money he earned with his paper round on records. His mum won a computer when he was 10, gaining Armin’s interest. “So as a little nerdy kid I was writing my own basic programmes, and learnt about the technology from there.” He progressed from making low-profile mix tapes for friends to higher profile mixes when he discovered experimenting with different sequences on his computer through his uncle. “I was so stunned by what I saw him doing on the computer, that I got addicted to creating music right there and then!”
“I loved dance music immediately – this great rebellious sound that was so different to the ‘beautiful’ songs of the years before”. Armin cites electronic pioneer Jean Michel Jarre as a major influence (famed for his awesome visuals as well as his groundbreaking synth sounds), as well as Dutch producer Ben Liebrand, who later mentored him in his mixing and producing.
In the early days, Armin thought it was wise to have something extra in case the DJ’ing didn’t work out. So he studied for a law degree. The final year of his course was inevitably stretched as he juggled his studies with his increasingly hectic schedule; his rise to fame included lots of productions and remixes, as well as playing out to packed clubs every weekend. It took him three years to graduate, but his determination made him succeed!
Armin’s own productions have all made a huge impact and quickly gain worldwide acclaim; his latest artist album titled ‘Imagine’ entered the Dutch Album Top 100 Chart at number one; this is the first time a dance producer has ever accomplished such a feat in the history of Dutch music. The first single to be taken from this album, ‘Going Wrong’ with DJ Shah featuring Chris Jones, entered the Dutch Singles Chart at number five. The ‘Armin Only DVD’ was also released and reached the acclaimed number one spot in its second week. His back catalogue includes Blue Fear, Communication, Sound of Goodbye, Shivers, Rush Hour, Burned With Desire, Exhale, Love You More, This World Is Watching Me, and Yet Another Day. While the remix offers flood in, Armin only takes on tracks that he really loves. He uses exactly the same criteria for his compilations, meaning that every release from Armin or his long-running Armind label is a bone fide stormer that’s earned its place. His output includes tracks for the cult TV series 24, and the likes of Motorcycle’s As The Rush Comes.
Armin is a dedicated trance lover, but isn’t imprisoned by a single genre, saying “What makes trance work so well is that it doesn’t stick to one style, and can incorporate electro, minimal, whatever it likes.” His desire to showcase more of the great music he hears, along with the number of people sending him tracks they wanted to release, led to the obvious step of starting his own label, Armada, in 2003.
The label is a joint venture between Armin, Maykel Piron (former head of A&R for Warner Music) and David Lewis, who'd previously managed Armin. "What we wanted was a company that could offer everything for an artist: representation, a booking agency, and a record company. Artists can choose full management, or to just release a record or play out at gigs. Armada lets the artists choose what they want without telling them what to do".
Armin is now a fully-fledged artist in his own right, having made his songwriting debut on his album, the award-winning Shivers; The events continue to get bigger and bigger, and Armin regularly headlines the likes of Sensation White, Global Gathering, Dance Valley, ZoukOut, Mysteryland, Coachella, Beats In Brazil, Trance Energy, Fort Dance, Summer Days – basically whether you’re in Australia, Russia, the Middle East, the US or Europe, you can catch Armin van Buuren at a club or festival near you!
"This is just what I really want," says Armin. "It’s not just love for music, it’s my passion. It goes beyond liking, and beyond a hobby, it’s about a way of living. Music is essential to my life”.
Right Back
Armin van Buuren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause in the story of our lives, the best of times through colour glass
And if you should call
It's no trouble, no trouble at all
I'll take out the sun, back where we begun again
Time goes on enough to let me move on past
I'm here once again
But I'm deep & I'm feelin' a pain
So who takes the fall that covers it all again
Put it on the right track, get it right back
A message from my heart it's too loud to stay apart
So put it on the right track, steal it right back
It's high time now
The lyrics of Armin van Buuren Feat. Yuri Kane's song Right Back talks about love, heartbreak, and second chances. The singer begins by admitting that he was wrong when he said he wouldn't change anything about his past relationship because he now realizes that the best moments of his life were spent with his former partner. However, things didn't work out as expected, and they eventually parted ways.
The chorus of the song conveys the message that no matter how much time has passed, the singer is always willing to give his relationship another chance. He says that he will take out the sun and bring back the good times they shared together. The singer recalls that time has moved on, but the memories of his past relationship continue to haunt him, causing him pain whenever he thinks of it.
The song also talks about how difficult it is to move on from a heartbreak, especially when memories of the past relationship keep creeping up on you. The singer is here once again, deep in his emotions, and feeling the pain caused by the memories of the past. He wonders who will take the fall, and covers it all again. The song's message is one of hope and second chances, that no matter what happened in the past, there is always an opportunity to make things right.

I was wrong to say I wouldn't change a thing
I made a mistake by thinking that everything was fine and didn't need any improvements.
'Cause in the story of our lives, the best of times through colour glass
Looking back at our past, we only remember the happiest moments through rose-tinted glasses.

It's no trouble, no trouble at all
I'm always available and willing to help you, no matter what.
I'll take out the sun, back where we begun again
I will do everything in my power to bring back the light and happiness that we once had.
Time goes on enough to let me move on past
Enough time has passed for me to move on and let go of the past.
But every little now & then it creeps on back to shade my smile
However, sometimes the memories of the past come back to darken my mood.
I'm here once again
I find myself in this situation yet again.
But I'm deep & I'm feelin' a pain
But this time the pain is deeper and more intense than before.
So who takes the fall that covers it all again
I'm not sure who to blame for my current situation and the pain it's causing me.
Put it on the right track, get it right back
I need to fix things and make them right again in order to regain what was lost.
A message from my heart it's too loud to stay apart
My heart is telling me that I need to act on these feelings and not ignore them any longer.
So put it on the right track, steal it right back
I need to take action and do whatever it takes to get back what I've lost.
It's high time now
It's time to take action and make things right again.

@kamalmuradov445
There’s a great deal of people who do not care about God at all. I think they are screaming this, like a silent scream. This silent screams says; I do not care if God does exist or not.
I mean they actually do not express this in words, but they tell this by their doings, life styles They set up objectives like having charisma, having perfect opposite-sex friendships, having Money and getting more and more pleasure out of lie, as the ultimate objectives of the life. These are of course very small objectives with respect to objectives set out by Islam.
People live like this as if they were to live forever and there’s no death. They focus on these objectives so much that in time. They feel okay to overpower others to gain charisma. They put their carreers above everything or they only focus on having perfect opposite-sex friendships.
They want to gain more Money and get more pleasure in life. Even thought people actually do not put this into words. They live as they do not care if God does exist or not in a way. They do not care at all and they even do not put Allah's existence on their agenda.
We have to explain that if indeed God exists. This fact will reveal to be more important than anything else. We will have to explain to people that the existenceof God change everything. We need to tell the story of the pattern of life and push people into being more concious regarding the matters of life and death.
Death is reality thet ca not and should not be taken lighlty.
Let’s try to Picture this in way. Think about yourself !!
