Aged just 31, Armin Van Buuren has been named number one in the prestigious DJ Top 100 poll voted for by over 350,000 people across the world, and an indication of his prolific output over the 10 years hes been DJing and producing. Being the official Worlds Best DJ is just one of his many achievements, but the driving force behind his success is an overriding passion for dance music. Even a basic list of recent successes reads like a lifetime of work: Best Album for artist album Shivers at both the Dutch Release Dance Awards and the prestigious Edison Awards; Best Compilation for A State Of Trance, and Best Mix Radio Dutch Show at the Miami Winter Music Conference 2006 for radio show A State Of Trance now broadcasting on a massive 40 FM stations as well as satellite and internet radio, with over 6 million listeners a week; a 5th year residency in Ibiza at Amnesia; sell-out shows for Armin Only (12,500 people saw the nine-and-a-half hour Rotterdam live set and show and a world tour is planned); over 50,000 downloads every week from podcasting high end chart-bothering positions all over the world for singles, albums and compilations, with single Rush Hour used as the theme tune to the UEFA European Youth Championship; a second DVD, Armin Only Ahoy 2006 the landmarks just keep coming! Born in Leiden, Holland (on December 25, 1976) to a musical family, Armin indulged his passion for music from a young age. He spent all the money he earned with his paper round on records. His mum won a computer when he was 10, So as a little nerdy kid I was writing my own basic programmes, and learnt about the technology from there. He progressed from making low-profile mix tapes for friends to higher profile mixes when he discovered experimenting with different sequences on his computer through his uncle. I was so stunned by what I saw him doing on the computer, that I got addicted to creating music right there and then!
