Armin Van Buuren @ Sugar Bar 11.04.07

WHOO!!

Armin Van Buuren is coming to Columbus!

Ranked #3 worldwide as one of the best DJs by The DJ List, the world’s largest DJ directory.

Ranked #2 by DJ Mag two years in a row.

Ladies and gentlemen — this will be an event that you can not miss.

I saw him in Montreal over the summer and let me tell you, probably one of the best shows I have ever seen.

You can’t afford to not see him for $15 presale… Groovetickets to purchase tickets… now.

Quick excerpt from The DJ List:

Armin van Buuren is a happy man, and with good reason. Holding firm at Number 3 in the prestigious public-voted DJ Top 100, he’s making the transition from talented young upstart to leading light in the echelons of trance and beyond. 2005 has brought two new significant awards (Best Radio Show, and Best Compilation for A State of Trance 2004 at the Miami Winter Music Conference Awards), and a stunning new artist album, Shivers, showcasing his debut as a songwriter.

Affronted by the cheesy tag that dogged it for a brief time real trance has continued to grow unabated, and the WMC awards reflect Armin’s success in producing and playing quality tunes that both excite existing fans and bring new people to the scene. “I think trance is becoming a broader term for a lot of different genres; it’s no longer a specific kind of music within the dance scene,” says Armin, widely credited with creating the blueprint track for the genre, Blue Fear, at the tender age of 19,. “Trance has elements of all different types of music. I play a lot of tracks that are labelled as progressive, tribal progressive, techno, trance, euphoric trance, vocal trance, melodic progressive… These days it’s really hard to label a specific sound. Styles are mutating and evolving into this all-over new sound, which is basically dance music going back to its roots. There’s so much good music out there and I don’t want to limit myself to just one style.”
