Armin has given me so much energy in life, saved me so many times. I live for that energy - Thank you Armin so much for your contribution to my life and the World
Charlie forever changed Radio 1 DNB for me, previously I just listened very rarely whenever it popped up but I've listened to every single one since she took over. It's a highlight to my week and this was a great chat with her Will!
Only the best for him man, met him recently at our Club in stuttgart; felt an instant goodvibe with him, truly a good soul 🔥 hope to catch you soon around again, H! 🤙
Hey Rory, Thanks for taking the time to do this. It was great to hear about your creative struggles and procrastination, can relate to that so much and it is inspiring to hear how you get through it. Legend! 🏴
You should watch the you tube documentary about Armin called Mr Perfect. This opens the world to the intimate Armin and his history and experiences. He's an amazing human being . Incidentally Mr Perfect was the name that his close friends gave Armin because he was a perfectionist and wanted the best for everyone around him . Defo worth a watch.
Get Busy is a bop and all but have you guys heard his remixes of simulator - green velvet, adam beyer and the last good bye - odesza? Those tracks are fucking fire
Jeez man like Will Clarke went through the times with these two from the Aus days, to the pandemic, to streaming now. Crazy to think how much can change in a decade
How did you manage to get an interview wit him? I wish he would make more like what he did with his older tracks both trance and house. The current edm is not of the same quality and finesse just like his older tracks of back when he was playing house, techno and proper trance now he is just a copy cat of david guetta and steve aioki. EDIT: Ah right you are signed with Armada that makes sense.
@@user-oq5ei4qd8r This is what I mean. You're not a true music lover. You don't appreciate it enough to applaud the artists who have a big impact on music. Armin van Buuren is what Bach would have been if he was born in this century. He is to the DJ's what Hans Zimmer is to soundtrack composers. The best of his craft. And he is unique. As are Steve Aoki and David Guetta. All three of them have their own signature sound.
@@wolterzz3267 Dude! I have over 800 vinyl releases and 30 Terabytes which I spent $350,000 over the past 30 years I've listened to music and also spent music production gears and synths as well across various genres and plus 200 cds collection so don't say I am not a 'true music lover' once again that's based on your views/opinions not on fact. Get real the world doesn't revolve around you. I don't blindly follow an artist just because they produce garbage like Armin has been producing to appeal to the masses.
@@user-oq5ei4qd8r If you really are a true music lover, you wouldn't look at what kind of genre a song is or to a specific time period in which a song is released. Everything has something to appreciate, as proven by the fans who listen to it. The fact you don't think like that is the main reason why you aren't a true music lover, no matter how hard you try to deny it. I don't blindly follow a specific artist either, but Armin isn't an artist who produces 'garbage' to 'appeal the masses'. He is an artist who has been honest about thinking out of the box and wanting to explore other styles of music because he likes those styles in particular. He isn't interested in making more money or gaining a bigger fanbase. He is only interested in making music, because that's his biggest passion and the main reason he became a DJ in the first place. That's called creativity, not 'appealing to the masses'. And I can know, since I have been following him since I was a kid and I still listen to him. Because he still makes great music, no matter what genre it is and because he is still original.
@@wolterzz3267 Dude, things are given specific names and labels for a reason-it’s about giving identity and purpose to something, just like how you have a name. Without names and labels, there would be no way to distinguish or understand the value and meaning behind things. It’s not about limiting creativity but about recognizing and appreciating what makes something unique.
