Armin van Buuren sits down with Dancing Astronaut before Pier 36 NYE show
In case you missed it, Armin van Buuren graced Manhattan with his trance god presence on New Year's Eve. Not only were we lucky enough to get a front row seat to his four-hour set at Pier 36, but we also got some time with him earlier in the day to sit down and pick his brain a little bit. We asked him how he's seen the role of the DJ change in his long career, his thoughts on the controversial trend of ghost-producing, his big plans for ASOT 600 (specifically in NYC), his future plans for the "state of trance" and his peers and mentees, and his analysis on whether he's a "DJ" or an "artist." His answers were thorough and thoughtful and we think you'll really enjoy getting a peek inside the mind of this prolific figure in dance music.
