Hello, this is what I tell to my fans and friends, I am a very nice, creative and adventurous man, and now, I am going to give my best to people who has aproove and help me in my time like a DJ, and my song SERENITY is for all of them. I like to be in peace, this is what i want, its no love for music, its a passion and it goes beyond liking, and beyond a hobby, its about a way of living. Music is essential for me... I've always been a big fan of engineering everything myself and I've done so since 1991 ever since I got my first Atari. I try to use the sounds like the records that I play on dance floors. When I make a new bass drum for example, I usually know its a good bass drum because I've tested it! Sometimes I like to master my tracks with somebody else or in somebody else's studio, just to get a fresh look on your sound. But I'm still the one that makes the final decisions. I love diving, reading & sunshine. In Holland I often go ride on my bike with my iPod as that gives me peace of mind. And I like to spend time with my friends & family as much as possible. They are very important to me. I guess music is always evolving. Trance for me ("Paris") has a much broader definition anyway then most people ("Rome"!). The only thing I can say here is that dance music will always be here, but things will change. And change is good. Never be a prisoner of your own style.
I guess trance has become a little bit of a dirty word now that its much more popular in general. I even noticed how some artists and DJ try to prevent using the word trance for their own production because they're afraid to admit it is! I think we should stop using different names & styles for slightly different types of music in general anyway. Everyone seems to have a different definition of trance or progressive. If one person would name a place "Paris" and another "Rome", then how the heck are we supposed to ever find this place! I think the whole discussion should be about dance music itself.

Oh my god I can't believe it's realy you man, I have been listening to your sets for many many years as and I enjoy them very much. You are truly a pioneer of Trance music and yes like you I'm not afraid to call it whar it realy is. I love your style it gives me an inner energy that makes me lookforward to each and everyday. I have recently aquired your Armin ONLY DVD and the extended sets are awesome because you keep partying longer. I'm also hoping to one day be able to Dj again because my love for the Trance music style is unmeasurable. Through your Hi5 I learned a couple of new things about you one of them being that your best friends are Tiesto and Oakenfold, thats realy cool because Tiesto is also one of my favorite Dj's too, along with Marco V and Maurro Picatto and many more. I'm 28 also and have been into the music for almost a decade and look forward to seeing you perform more in Canada Maybe you can consider Ottawa Ontario as we have a huge Venue here where the play hockey like the ID&T Arena In Amsterdam, so if your ever on a North American tour I'll be sure to be there! May every day you make others happy you get that same feeling multiplied by the amount of people your reach everyday. Thank you for your uplifting energy and I understand the emotion you try to express through your music.. Your the mann peace out your fan forever Sherief Ibrahim
