Armin van Buuren @ Spirit, Fri 3/18

[Dee Phunk]

With trance undergoing its much-hyped third renaissance (if you believe it had ever died) the boy Buuren, widely credited with creating the blueprint track for the genre, "Blue Fear," at the tender age of 19, is at the forefront of the revolution to reclaim quality dance music.

Don't worry Ronin... you're going to have a great time. The last 2 times, Armin has been pretty damn good.. and since this is his CD release party(I believe), I think that gives him incentive to drop an extra sick set.

If i go out Friday I rather go to Sander K... House > Trance

Any reviews on how Armin was last night?

[chanman7483]

Night started off nicely... Perry was rippin it... dance floor started to fill up... then armin came on. He was in the upstairs DJ booth as opposed to the low one in the front of the dance floor... I liked it better in the past when he would be right in the front b/c I felt I could connect to him better and you could see him going buckwild, etc...

started off nicely for the first 2 hours or so... then I think he fell apart somewhere ... I mean, the songs were still good, but it was just heavy bass... and that's all I could really hear.. I got bored of it. I think people felt the same as I did, as the dance floor started emptying out around 3:00 or so...

anyways, looking forward to CG!

did he drop ava mea - in the end?



nice track, hope to catch it sometime in Miami....

[chanman7483]

I forget... i blacked out a few times.. lol

[biggdrew97]

armin did a great job...much darker set than the last time i heard him a year and a half ago at roxy. he spun some techno and was definitely gettin into it. spirit was really packed, i stayed upstairs and just watched until 4:00 when there was finally some space to move around downstairs. i miss crobar; they handle lines much more efficiently there.

He definitly played alot harder than usual i tohought it was a really good set ...as for the crowd holy shit people need to take a fuckin shower before going out the body order was so disgusting i almost threw up. As for the sound spirit def got a great sound system i would much rather of seen him at crobar again but it was still a really good night.

Ugh! I noticed the same thing! Especially near the back near the smaller stage. I accidentally walked into that area and I swear I blacked out for a few seconds from that foul stench

he opened with it. One of the main reasons I went was to see Perry O'Neil as well. Perry did an amazing job and we will definitely hear more from him in the states. Armin started off progressing and then hit a nice mini tech trance set that I of course loved. Song of the night was Jonas Steur - Castamara
