Armin van Buuren

[@freiheitwindeene3235]

How glad to have Armin here, Moby and him REALLY know what was music back then and now

[@dropballbrenan]

armin is such a wonderful guest. intelligent , driven , authentic . this was a fun listen especially considering lindsay and moby dont know anything about him, his show, his history etc

[@-chrisburke]

Armin 🙌🏻

[@M.W.777]

Moby & Armin Van Buuren --- much love!!!

[@freiheitwindeene3235]

Just finished to watch the episode and maaan, what an experience, as I comment before, glad he invited Armin, so much knowledge and true was said.

[@m4kkillottu]

The depression topic is so underrated in the showbiz industry. I was a motorsport journo on TV and magazines till 9 years ago and I was living that "lonely" feeling, I was every weekend on a different racetrack, on a different hotel, another fancy press room. My weekends were Monday-Tuesday, meaning no time for friends (they had their "Monday to Friday" normal life) and family when I was back home, arguments with my loved ones, a breakup with my girlfriend. It was then when I scaled down my duties and tried to look around me for other opportunities. It's then when I understood that this world was "toxic" for me, so now I'm with a normal job, nurturing my hobbies and enjoying what I love the most, one of which is trance music. Thanks Armin and Moby for raising awareness in the showbiz industry. It's immensely appreciated.

[@pablodavidlp9760]

One of my heroes indeed. So much humanity displayed here.

[@paulpascha]

Great talk and many thanks for reminding me about that Ferry Corsten / Moonman remix of Where are you now! One of the tracks that got me into trance music about 25yrs ago… I guess it was one of the tracks played by Tom Harding in his Dance Valley 1999 set in which I heard it for the first time.

[@simondymond8479]

This bought a tear to my eye. 49 now and had a successful career I didnt enjoy in business. But when I was young I started making music on an Atari ST with midi keyboards and bits of equipment. Then started djing at little places like small clubs and pubs, private parties etc and I loved it. Later a friend got a korg m1 and we made some tracks I wish I still had now. But I loved it. Also liked a lot of the same music you guys mentioned. I remember getting Orbs journeys through the ultraworld and listening over and over. Especially the track little fluffy clouds. Then Moby released Go and it took over my brain for a while. I loved Angelo Badalamentis music and would mix it / add to it and turn it in rave music at parties. Good times. So innocent. Just making music because you love hearing the music you're making.

[@DJTranceparent]

I always love seeing Armin as in an interview, especially a long one such as this one. He is the 🐐

[@bucky716]

Thank you for the old man rabbit holes. Wild to think that when I discovered dance music around 98 that it really was still so young. Yet it felt so established. Kudos to Armin as well talking about being vulnerable and the challenges. I've had a barrier to gratitude lists and grateful to understand them more now and working towards sticking with it.

[@dennispoldnev7777]

Incredible. I admire both of you guys. I'm 55, love both of your music styles..... ❤️

[@ttom2460]

Been a huge fan of Armin for years! Thank you for doing this, it was very interesting.

to be honest without god of trance i never be a fan of electronic dance music...such wonderful person .nice information abt 808 vs 909!!!so great & helpful, even week a day bartender, dj ,doorman!!! omg speaking so much truth 🤗Moby sir.. WITH HUGE TO RESPECT TO BOTH LEGEND FOR DISCUSS dark side of drug, alcohol and dj life!!superb!🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👌

[@muzikxpress]

Love this! Especially the part of Fierce Ruling Diva, so cool! This year I actually did 2 interviews with Jeroen Flamman from Fierce Ruling Diva, they also speak about Moby in both videos! (Second interview is actually going live this Saturday!)

[@javiernajar1457]

The first time I heard AVB was his 2003 Essential Mix, I really liked his choice of music and his style of mixing. I still love that mix. I don't love every album by AVB but still have a lot of respect for him, he is the hardest working person in electronic music.

[@jucaballa2664]

Wow!

[@GuruCube]

The Generator is a guy called Jan Smith. Where Are You Now? was the track name and the most popular mix was the Moonman Remix, Moonman being one of Ferry Corsten's many aliases. Absolutely superb track and one of the ones which opened my trance journey. It also became released on Tidy Trax with a number of great trance and hard dance remixes. Ahhh, the good old days!! 😎👌

[@TriLiCiT]

MOBY!!! You brought Jesus himself to your podcast!? I'm impressed. EDIT: I can say after listening to this full podcast with Armin. I have found myself liking him again. I won't lie Armin, for a long time you lost me as a fan who goes all the way back to 1999. But after hearing your personal side. I earned me as a fan back.

[@juno6]

@@monkeyrevolution1964 first, I'm not the one that's comparing him to Jesus. Second, he's not literally comparing, it's like saying that he's like superman, or batman. They simply never existed. It's fiction. Third I don't give a f about Buddha too. Religions exist because man is afraid of death. They need to believe that when they die, there's something else. There isn't. You rotten and you never come back or go to heaven full of angels. Grow up and accept it.

[@monicasierra5983]

I was waiting for this since I saw Armin’s IG story when he was there 😍😍😍😍✨

[@javiernajar1457]

Speaking of shame, I recently read a book about how destructive shame is for people and how it manifests. One example is people being perfectionists.Some people would tell you how proud they are for being perfectionists, but they likely learned it to please (and be loved by) their caregivers by trying to be perfect; being imperfect would bring them shame for not being good enough to be loved. Highly recommend reading about it if you are into mental health.

[@kyivskyi]

Awesome ❤ DJ

[@Psychophski]

AMAZING EPISODE I grew up to your music, both of you. I am 40. Devoted clubber.

[@basclason6596]

Watching these people talk about everything I am passionate about is amazing. We do need a new artistic revolution though!

[@luthermclain2959]

That was one of the better chats I've listened to. I was able to see Moby in Calgary at the U of C, fifteen or so years ago, which I still say was the best show I've ever been to. Prior to that I managed to see Armin at a nightclub in Calgary a few years prior. I have not danced so much in one night since then. Thank you all!

[@mikeamoz]

I remember 10 or so years ago . I played a couple hours before Armin and wanted to meet him. He notified his staff to not let anyone back stage and blah blah. Figured he had a massive ego problem but after hearing this interview i realize he was just battling shit inside . Glad to hear he did the work to fix himself.

[@DjSylvana]

I'm so glad that you went down these rabbit holes!!!! Love you guys!!

[@olgabalaban15]

How super talented and wise Armin van Buuren is 🤯 WOW 👏 STELLAR Interview! Thank you for making Armin talk 🤩🤗😇🫶🫶🫶👑

[@SergeSNS]

I watch it, and I recall Tim Berg's words how lonely he felt amid those endless shows and parties. I do not feel that way, but I remember this always. Something to bear in mind, because for some, that's the price to pay.

[@memyselfandi52]

Absolutely brilliant listening to how all this music started......thanks to Moby and Armin

[@ShatadruSensharma]

Damn, love that this collab goes deeper than just a rework of a track!

[@christopherstratman]

Wow - we need a musical bibliography of all the people and tracks they spoke about!

It's so brave to talk about your feelings. Don't forget that you helped and inspired a lot of others with your music. You both deserve the best 🤍🖤 Great video 🫶

[@SuperMrBlaze]

I am very happy to have found this conversation!!! 😊😊😊

[@Gamble..]

i grew up loving every single dance and trance track i ever heard, the really massive ones like meet me at the love parade, sirius, alice deejay, the logical song, but i never knew what genre they were and thought these were one off “too amazing to be mainstream” songs. i found armin last year on a fluke and fell in love almost instantly. thank god for music 🙏🏽

[@almazovmaximizer2032]

Замечательное интервью

[@rochellevincentevonk]

Great interview ... I think there are lots of innovative artists these days but they don't get heard or played because the expectation is to sound like everyone else!

[@smmixtape]

Armin van buuren is my world inspiring hero which always amaze me with what he to in term of collaboration Keep up the good work and please never stop making magical tunes and musics ❤

[@GowthamTagore]

Wow!! This was a spiritual conversation. Real talks! Lots of love and respect. Thankful and grateful for who you are Armin! I love you! 🙏🫶

[@DjProducerTerrex]

Armin looks very tired and worked out. Love the stories and i can relate to it very much. Music is always been in my life and it made me what i am today. But the industry is a harsh and unforgivefull world. Music is a passion and i will always keep playing and making music.

Greatest Thanks for diving into the pre-Millennium RabbitHoles!!! The What-is before 2000 and the Is-Now, How much the world had changed in such short a lifetime! JM Jarre electronic concerts in china in the 80's blew my mind to dancing to your tunes and AVB too. It's remarkable reminiscing the years in a short podcast! Grateful to had listen to your podcast, it brings back memories of bygone era.

I can back Lindsay in singing the praises of Ridwell. We have it up in Seattle and it is such an important piece to bridge the gap in plastic and tech waste that local municipal recycling can not cover. My heart is full hearing Mody and Armin sitting down together and sharing the conversation with us. Thank you! p.s. I very much appreciated the rabbit holes!

[@kobusvanstaden3388]

I played from age 15 DJ at all the school parties. My first club was an eye opener, Technics SL 1200 in front of me (two of them, lol) with a dance floor of about 1500. Great Club. Armin even played there years later. E.S.P. . I ended working at the Worx records in Hilbrow (When it was White), and plenty of clubs night after night. I use to open, hop to the next club, cities apart. Let's go through some names: MURK (if you really love somebody), Pizzaman (Tripping on Sunshine), Jam & Spoon, Joe-T Vannelli, 4-Strings, Latour, Kristine W, Rollo, Tony Di Bart, . let's even go Labels: Strictly Rhythm, Perfecto, Cleveland City, UMM, (ps. way before Armada).. so yes, you get it. I make beats, but would love it if you could feel my music, and yet take it to the next level: SoundCloud: Orion's Lane. Ps. I shouk Ferry's Hand when he was playing at Truth, Jhb. Later on I mixed live audio for Multichoice broadcast studios, deepsea dived with some sharks here in S.A., skydived yet the Apple Ableton pulls me daily.

Great great interview!! Well worth a watch If you want to know a bit of the real history of dance music and true life in the music industry… MOBY & AVB are a couple of artists I really respect and so much in this interview I can relate towards. The music they talk about how it was made where it all started and everything in between.

[@ignite137]

As a child i made music in trackers. I wasn't familiar with the hardware stuff. And it was too expensive..Memmaker was my friend to load the trackers. Now people complaining about CPU usage...

[@robhoward7041]

TY for talking about the hard things. Amazing is that your story is not unique.

[@mbnqpl]

Armin talks about a greater power that gave him his talent, while Moby identifies as an atheist 😅 Great video tho, thank you!

[@rediscoveryrecords1348]

Moby: "Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schultz. Do you know these? Very few people are." Huh? Those 3 combined probably sold 30 million records over their 50 year careers. Come on moby;)

[@rediscoveryrecords1348]

When Moby made Play in 1999, I was wondering if he even listens to what's going on in electronic music anymore. Considering he thought trance came out and was great in 1998/99 just confirms how lost and far away from DJ culture he really was.

[@wildoceanappaloosawomangay2535]

Armin does look VERY tired during this interview though. He also sounds like he has the flu or something. Ok, jetlags are a pain in the *** but this looks like something else.

[@Ведроид]

Армин плохо выглядит! Мешки под глазами, а если обратить внимание на нос - ответвление складок + краснота, то он простывший, болеет + мало спит - это тоже проблема! Про складки, ответвление от носа - они обычно ровные, гладкие, а у него - ярко выраженные.
