I remember a lot of the interviews that I did in the early days was like, вЂњWhen is the dance music bubble going to be over?вЂќ. How has the music scene changed since you started? Now, I have to mix live living one take which sometimes I make little mistakes and stuff the people actually appreciate that. I actually enjoy it now more than I ever did because I used to stare at an Ableton screen and mix all the tracks together barely hearing all the songs, to be honest. I find it really scary because I felt like I sort of jumped into the deep.

Last year I made a big bold move to do a weekly broadcast video which a lot of people actually like. A lot of new talent coming off, the psy-trance inspired trance music is so huge right now. I still see a lot of good things happening in a trance music world. No, I thought 500 would be good after 10 years. So you're on the 850th A State of Trance, did you ever think you'd get to 850? So the idea of inspiration actually comes from my kids. I started to see how important that is actually for the education of kids - learning nursery rhymes school. I was I was at home sitting next to my daughter and she was telling me how she learned all these naughty rhymes in school, like with swear words and stuff that parents arenвЂ™t supposed to know. And I said to him, вЂњWhat if we have vocal like that but on a psy-trance inspired triple-drop,вЂќ and he says, вЂњSo what are you thinking lyrically?вЂќ. He has written a lot of really big tracks and I know that he's been working with his son on the Galantis track.

He was on tour with me on the Embrace Tour and we became close friends. The story started with Bullysongs, who was a good friend of mine and I did a couple of tracks with him вЂњFreefallвЂќ and вЂњCaught in the SlipstreamвЂќ.

'Blah Blah Blah' - what was your inspiration for the track?ДЄrmin: Well, actually I understood a lot of people thought it was something to say to all the haters, but it wasn't. We caught up with him right before his show in New York, just in time to see him play The Brooklyn Mirage with Alpha 9. His weekly radio show, 'A State of Trance', boasts over 38 million listeners in more than 80 countries, and he has performed at the biggest and best shows and festivals around the world. As one of the most influential musicians in electronic music, he has topped the Dj Mag Top 100 DJs poll a record of 5 times. Armin van Buuren is a legend in the dance music industry.
