Now all there’s left is waiting…waiting for Ernesto vs Bastian, Shogun and Roger Shah to name their own winner. Next week, we will announce which lucky singers will get to work with them.

So keep an eye on the website and enjoy the videos in the Armada Music Singing Competition playlist!

The main inspiration for a lot of the tracks has come from the theme imagine. Says Armin, “Imagine for me stands for the way I visualise music when I listen to it, and a lot of people have that same connection with music, especially trance which is so emotionally driven. Music is very personal for everybody, and what I’ve realised from my travels is that music transcends everything – the same music can touch people all over the world. You can’t judge someone else on their taste in music, and you can’t turn people onto music that isn’t for them – it’s just something that resonates with each individual. One of the beautiful things about being human is that we can imagine, create, and escape back into our imagination when we want to recall a feeling or invent something new…”

While trance’s universal appeal and Armin’s dedication to the genre have contributed to his huge global success (including a radio show that broadcasts on a massive 40 FM stations as well as satellite and internet radio, with over 6 million listeners a week), Armin’s albums are more than a series of identikit trance tracks based on an 8-bar loop. Imagine is the product of two years’ work, with tracks recorded across 8 locations – everywhere from Washington to Holland, and LA to Ireland – and featuring a number of vocals, from the sublime tones of American Jennifer Rene to the rock-friendly sound of Liverpudlian Chris Jones on Going Wrong (currently making a serious impact on the airwaves).

“Some of the tracks are more melodic and chilled than past productions,” says Armin, “but the great thing about trance is the number of guises that it comes in. The intro track, Imagine, is an instrumental that takes in a number of different styles – orchestral elements, guitasr, kickdrums – trance has been criticised for being stuck in one formula but if you look around that just isn’t the case. Trance DJs don’t just play one style of music and are often influenced by many different genres as well. For me, it can be everything from the lush chords and guitars of Pink Floyd to the song structures of the Beatles or the vocal sounds of Amy Winehouse!”

As well as vocals from the likes of Cathy Burton, Audrey Gallagher (a former Agnelli and Nelson collaborator and vocalist on the gorgeous John O Callaghan track Big Sky), Vera Ostrova of The Bluestorm, Sharon den Adel of rock band Within Temptation and more, the album features Armin’s brother on guitar on four of the tracks as well.

Prior to the album’s release, Armin has been undertaking his usual gruelling gig schedule, including an Armin Only event based around the Imagine theme – another sell-out event. Expect more of these inimitable shows – Armin Only (www.arminonly.com) will kick off a series of shows on April 19 and will be live on Dutch TV, before taking in Romania, Australia, Toronto, Poland, the Czech Republic and more. All the vocalists from the album will fly in for the spectacular 9-hour events to perform during the show, bringing Imagine to life against a backdrop of visual and aural sensory-stimulating experiences.

“It’s amazing how much we use the word ‘Imagine’ in our daily language” says Armin. “I hope this album resonates in the same way, and everybody can find a piece of music or a lyric that means something to them. A lot of the tracks are about love – one of the ultimate triggers of emotion on all ends of the spectrum. I’ve loved putting them together, from sitting down to write them to arranging and recording them. I tell all of the producers on Armada to do something they love, not just to produce what people expect, and this is what I’ve done with Imagine.”

It was already dubbed as Dance Smash on Radio 538 and chosen as Grandslam on Slam!FM earlier this month.

Maltese DJ and producer duo Tenishia make their Armada Night debut, but that doesn’t mean Joven Grech and Cyprian Cassar don’t know how to get a crowd going. These guys had the honour to receive the Malta Music Award for ‘Best Dance Track’, started their own production school, work with artists like Roger Shah, Kirsty Hawkshaw and Jan Johnston and travel the globe to spread their warm, progressive trance sound. They’re currently making waves with their single ‘Stranger to Myself’ and remixes for Markus Schulz and Ørjan Nilsen.

Norwegian DJ/producer Ørjan Nilsen is no stranger to the Armada crowd. During the first 2010 edition he spun an outstanding, diverse set and left a memorable impression with his new track ‘So Long Radio’, which can be found in the CD case of almost every A-list DJ. Ørjan, who was responsible for the biggest summer-tune of 2008, ‘La Guitarra’, has had 3 Armind releases this year already, with ‘Lovers Lane’ up next.  More ear-candy, from rousing guitar-lines to feel-good house, are ahead and will surely be part of his set at Armada Night.

For nearly ten years, DJ RAM collaborated with Dutch DJ and producer Bas Abels. Under the BAS & RAM moniker, the duo took charge of clubs all across the globe and stole hearts with the darker tech-trance style. In 2009,the guys decided to go separate ways and so RAM returned as a solo artist. And he returned strong. He produced last year’s outstanding ‘RAMsterdam’, hammered by Armin van Buuren and danced to by millions – including the Dutch royal family. With that fact in mind, it’s no surprise RAM’s looking forward to play ‘his’ city again and roadtest the follow-up to this monstertrack.

Tenishia, Ørjan Nilsen and DJ RAM will be backed up by Armada’s A&R manager; ElSandro. As an Armada Night resident, ElSandro feels more than comfortable in the Westerunie, touching the crowd with a contagious mix of progressive, house and trance. The Dutchman already played on a couple Armada Nights earlier this year in countries like Russia and Israel and defenately knows how to warm up the Armada crowd!

Tickets are available for €15 at www.aldaevents.nl.

When it comes to great heights, Chicane’s been there alright . Working with A-class artists such as Bryan Adams, Tom Jones, Maire Brennan from Clannad and Keane,  made his music attract a wide audience. ‘Giants’ displays that diversity, from the ambient opening track ‘Barefoot’ to the housy radio-hit ‘Come Back’, warm progressive ‘Middledistancerunner’ in collaboration with Owl City singer Adam Young and enthralling classic interlude called ‘Titles’. Chicane has crossed all boundaries and shows that those 15 years have only made him more creative.

On ‘Giants’, Chicane returns with a new dose of energy for the crowds, intimate home-listening moments and timeless, gigantic highlights.

‘Halo’ shines. This track is one of those trance anthems that invites you to raise your hands up high and just fly away in full happiness. Its mellifluous melody is in both the Jorn van Deynhoven and Temple One Remix gentle in its build-up and mesmerizing in combination with the tracks’ pumping baseline. A must-have for all uplifting fans out there.

Ben Nicky feat. Linnea Schössow – Tears
British sound-creator Ben Nicky is one of those producers that captivates both your heart and feet. His previous productions, ‘Driven’ and ‘Morning Breeze’, are set the perfect example for that statement. His sound, mesmerizingly melodic and packed with such bold beats, gives you that real take-over-the-dancefloor-feel. That same feeling captures you when listening to his new one, ‘Tears’.

‘Tears’ utilises the vocals talents of rising star Linnea Schössow, reigning from Sweden. Its delightful build up prepares you for a euphoric breakdown. This one is absolutely mind-blowing, combining Linnea’s stunning vocals with Ben’s production skills. While enjoying the rush taking over, a surprisingly build climax guides you to a tech-trance outro. Its pumping baseline makes standing still almost undoable.

British producer Joe Garrett a.k.a. Temple One, known for his ‘Aurora’ and ‘String Theory’ releases, leads ‘Tears’ in a more uplifting direction on his remix, making it rise to even greater heights. Undeniably big room, in all ways and means.

The Black Pearl sets sail again! After previous expeditions to ‘Bounty Island’, the ‘Coral Sea’ and ‘Java’, this time captains Roger Shah and Ralph Fritsch invite you on their journey of ‘Discovery’. Your musical trip with the two German DJ’s and producers will take you to open sea, where you’ll pass bittersweet violin melodies, soothing synth-sound waves and experience a marvelous, powerful build-up.

Also aboard is Swedish DJ and producer Kim Svärd. He takes over the helm with his ‘Discovery’-remix, on which he faces a more stormy route. He hits the highest highs of uplifting in the break down and accompanies you through dark, progressive baselines. Enjoy your trip!

Ruben de Ronde – Stoer
Boys will be boys and once a Dutchman, always a Dutchman. His musical sense has been there from early days, and he’s been using it professionally since the year 2006, when his first few remixes caught the attention of the DJ elite. We’re talking about no one less than Ruben de Ronde, who’s stirred up the tracks of Way Out West, Aly & Fila, Push, W&W in several branched out remixes and caused quite a few highlights with his ‘Grand Boulevards’ and the more trancy ‘Forever In Our Hearts’. This time, he’s setting this in motion with his debut release on the Pilot 6 imprint. And it’s one hell of a rough, tough and delicious ride, we can tell you that.

‘Stoer’ obeys to its Dutch name and sways in with temping melodic kicks in a strong, seductive force of tech-house vs prog-house. Dance is what you’ll do, whether you want to or not. There’s just no standing still to this biggie. ‘Stoere’ beats are what you get!

The two remixes that await you, clearly shows the diversity and potential of the track. Swedish DJ/producer Sebastian Brandt, shows he’s not restricted to any style or sound, with a very groovy, big-room yet minimalistic sounding remix. The deep side of Dutch producer Bas van Essen comes out in his own interpretation of ‘Stoer’, as he works out his prog-skills to the fullest.

Protoculture – Silver / Black Sun
Compared to his previous productions, Nate Raubenheimer seemed to have calmed down a little with his tracks ‘Black Sun’ and ‘Silver’. Within the past seven years the South African producer released many Break Beat and Goa tracks, like this year’s ‘Love Technology’ and the track ‘Natural Selection’ back in the year 2004. With this new track-duo he reduced the beats per minute and proves that he knows exactly what the darker side of trance is about.

Both ‘Silver’ and ‘Black Sun’ make you go on that odyssey of lovely, night-black progressive-trance. ‘Silver’ joins the ranks of outstanding, complex instrumentals, that combine a lovely melody with soul-soothing prog-trance sounds. ‘Black Sun’ kicks off with bold beats and rises up to a melodic-euphoric-break down.Somewhere in the back it makes use of a mesmerizing female vocal, that knows when to take a break to create an energetic, breath-taking climax.

Tenishia – Monsoon / Speak Music
Maltese duo Tenishia has been treating us more than well this year. After two outstanding tracks earlier in 2010, their June release and vocal beauty ‘Stranger to Myself’ still resounds in our head. A look at their DJ schedule will make you listen in disbelief, but Joven Grech and Cyprian Cassar are already awaiting you with its follow up. Though playing countless gigs and teaching in their very own production school, they created two marvelous instrumentals named ‘Monsoon’ and ‘Speak Music’. Another duo to please your ears.

With this double release, euphoric trance lovers will be just as much in awe as fans of the more techy sounds. ‘Monsoon’ is a gentle, emotional uplifting trancer with a breath taking break. Anyone into sharp violin will surely be knocked down by ‘Monsoon’. ‘Speak Music’, on the other hand, is riding the progressive path – with playful synth-lines and a kicking baseline. Once again proving that the Maltese duo indeed has many faces when it comes down to music production.

Residence Deejays feat. Frissco – Sexy Love (Remixes)
The original version of the warm and housy summer banger ‘Sexy Love’ by Residence Deejays feat. Frissco was already released in the very late summer of November 2009. In the meantime a slew of talented producers reworked the track and Frissco himself did a beautiful Acoustic Mix. A must-have follow up package rocking the Zouk imprint.

The Romanian producers behind Residence Deejays teamed up with American vocalist and producer Frissco. He tells us a little something about his flirty club-adventures, while the Residence Deejays turn up the heat with a deep, proghousy background. Clear synths and melodic beats make this ‘Sexy Love Frisco Club Extended’ a true club-anthem.

On the remixes we first find Greek producer Agent Greg. His rework focuses on progressive elements and with that ‘Sexy Love’ stands out with even more energy to its original. Another banging remix comes from Peter Rauhofer. The specialty of this rework is its exceptional build up. The Austrian producer plays with various trance and progressive elements and the result can best be described as simply surprising!
