Dropped by the Big Names – Armin Van Buuren

Armin Van Burren
I have had the pleasure of seeing Armin Van Buuren spin twice. The second time was when Perfect and I met on the dance floor. It was a good night to say the least! Armin Van Buuren has such a nice style, light and trancey, but only quality trance! Here are three of my favourite tracks I was introduced to by Armin:
Talk Like a Stranger (Markus Schulz Mix) – Deepsky
This track has a thumping baseline juxtaposed against the sweet female vocals of Jes Brieden that takes the listener into day-dreamland, or to the middle of the dance floor. It has long been one of my faves!
I don’t know anything about this track, other than it is also from Armin’s Universal Religion 2004, it is the opener to the live mix to be specific, and it is a super neat tune. All spacey, and dancey as only 2004 could have pulled off.
Outsider – Kirsty Hawkshaw & Tenshia
Sadly, I don’t know much about this track either. I believe I first heard it a an Armin show, and then tracked it down with great determination! I love the tune’s unique layering of different percussion elements, and Kirst Hawkshaw’s beautiful vocals singing of self reflection and rapture.
