DJTT Interviews Armin Van Buuren

[@MrJuChew]

Agreed. I saw him live in LA a few weeks ago, and his stage presence is just great. He played for hours and not once looked tired; you can tell he truly enjoys his job and loves music and fans. I don't know him personally, but after seeing this and seeing him perform live, he seems like a genuinely nice guy who's very down to earth.

[@crazychris980]

Never a massive Armin fan but the dude speaks well and seems genuinely passionate!

And that's why he is the number one Dj. Great inspiration.

[@nulpointr]

No bullshit. Just a passion for music. I love you man. Props.

[@whathajel]

I love how Armin is humble & absolutely real. This is a DJ that truly services and appreciates his fans. With his shows, it's not about the separation of the DJ & the crowd, but the coming together of it all as one. Goosebumps.

[@jnjallday]

"Any sound ever captured can be used to create something on the dance floor" a Flawless statement from Armin Van Buuren.

[@ayshen11]

This is one of the greatest interviews Ive watched.

[@Noondroid]

So many great points he made. The one I wish more people would listen to is "You're playing too loud" It totally destroys the music if all we hear are humming subs

[@Gwen_Le]

My favorite DJ in the whole wide world!!!! So smart and talented!

[@graveytrain55]

wow this interview just changed my opinion of this man completely - much wisdom spewing from his mouth

[@hahaboy211]

Watch his other Future music interviews of him syncing his music live to his visuals. You'll love and appreciate him even more.

[@sunofescanor3205]

I think he's a better mentor than Tietso. If I wanted to collab, Armin Van Burren would be the one.

[@jrazenz]

everything he does, even interviews, are of the highest quality. this guy is amazing

[@alexwood482]

what a guy! one of the best interviews i've seen!

[@hahaboy211]

What a legend! Can't wait for Armin Only!

[@Themacncheese1231]

I like how hes so down to earth

[@marcoss981]

A lot of truth in this interview, especially about playing in the bar vs playing for thousands :)

[@yearofthegatch]

You really have to admire this man for sticking to trance and not going down the 128bpm road like so many other trance guys. Really loves what he does :)

[@rastykatze]

So inspiring. Armin is definitively my favourite "veteran" dj. He still keep the essence of what makes a good dj and still lifes for the music. Im so greatfull that my older cousin showed me this music when i was like 10...

[@ErickEspinozza]

Without doubt, He is the best example of a real and amaizing Dj, a guy that realy loves music. For me, the best Dj and the only one that I've been admired from many years ago

[@asd45043]

For all that kids who know or don't know what they want to be..This guy is your ROLE MODEL ! This interview is about DJing and producing but when you see with how much passion and knowlege is he talking about it you'll see many,many advices which will lead you to right way..

[@Batmann29]

Damn man, I LOVE YOU ARMIN! I just recently started DJing back in December, but I took a huge break from it the past couple of months cause I thought I was progressing as a DJ, but then last night I played at a house party and it revitalized my love for the music. After watching this, I'm going to keep practicing and try to get better. His words were truly inspiring!

[@peterw.2096]

no matter what people say this guy was, is and will be the best dj & poducer of all times.Is a legend

[@BennyBoi]

Wow, so much respect for Armin. I could listen to him talk for hours, an absolute genius.

[@DJFULARA]

I probably will never forget armin's set at congress this last June. 3 hours of amazing.

[@mkfok]

i wouldn't mind a 9 hour ambient mix by armin

[@victor9961]

You said pretty much ALL I had in my mind, dude. I particularly am a big fan on Trance Music but that doesn't really matter. What matter is that Armin brought a lot of spiring stuff for us all. I've seen some inteviews where he speaks for an hour or so. But i think this one was the best i've ever seen. DJTECHTOOLS keep up with this spiring interviews!!

[@Kronicilln3ss]

He's a bar certified lawyer so he doesn't need one. His dad said if he could pass the bar he would let him choose his career well he did the right path. No one else has this energy that's impossible to describe that even just speaking with him is great. One of the best interviews btw

[@700leinad]

After many average videos from djtt.. Finally there is another awesome!!!

[@MalkyMcCallum]

His interviews are almost as good to listen to as his music, he's so straight forward and professional, you can take on board everything he has to say, I'm not a DJ but I would imagine he is a huge inspiration to up & coming DJs, not only by his music but his attitude towards it, what a guy!! Seen him in Glasgow last year, what a night!!

[@EdwardSanchezMusic]

Armin I have been listening since 2004, and he's the reason I DJ today, and wow do i agree w everything he said, specially about building a set and reading your crowd, I have come upon many different clubs and atmospheres, like he said he Tours, but in a Club or a Bar people don't know you, and some may not like the first track you spinned, no genre, I know when to Spin Hip Pop i know when to Spin Techno, I know when to Spin more club music like Trance or even Rap, here in Chicago everyone wants Rap or Latin Music, but if you know how to master a set on improv those people are gonna end up dancing to anything you Cue next. Exactly what a True Dj does. Mixing techniques are also very important.

[@MoonbeamKnight1]

Great interview.

[@rahulkeswani1987]

As incredible of a DJ this man is, he seems so humble. I have so much more respect for AVB. Great Interview, fantastic DJ.

[@hellotelephone1]

God bless you Armin :) He definatly has his mind and feet still firmly planted on the ground unlike other DJ's who seem to have fame get in the way of their work.

[@RemcoPeggeman]

He really has a passion for music, the industry and the true art of DJ'ing, next to that, he is such a nice guy!

[@NRGFL0]

Best DJ interview I've seen. Truly inspiring.

[@smekninga]

I think he is an amazing dj, he seems to be so down to earth and smart, which I think is sexy

[@shanyang5291]

just FINALLY started to learn Dj this year early. now i figured out the key point is the ability to read the crowd, & dj lively. ill keep practicing !!!!

[@jrazenz]

oh, and this interview blew any other DJTT one away. very thorough which is typically unexpected from such a huge name.

[@JOHNNIEUSA]

what is name of the song in the open?? thanka

[@SteakANDBurger]

One of the best I've seen in a while!!

[@MattPaulOfficial]

That is one of the best interviews I have ever seen.. Massive props for this.. If you get one thing from this video is to be DIFFERENT then others./

[@janchlupacek]

That guy is a genius, seriously. Wicked interview.

[@lt1mike83]

WOW probably the best interview, who would of thought. Always had the utmost respect for him, and now I have more. And Trance isn't even my fav genre lol!

[@fka.z3ro]

the trance boss himself , well spoken, always been a fan!

[@explorationgabe]

Someone needs to make a mix with the audio of this interview….

[@jirkabusik1209]

... The most inspiring man on the planet ...

[@saudal-qahtani403]

This interview gave me goose bumps...

[@djdavidforeal]

[@RevelCris]

[@stephc963]

My heart just melted.

[@LightReaction1]

What he said in the end! Omg

[@okolivier1]

WoW! Armin has his own philosophy DJing. Very original!

[@AUDIOMUNKY1]

'everyone is trying to rock the crowd and do a job' very true ...

[@BenzoWarden]

He speaks the truth! Armin is awesome!!

[@gatslingerr]

True DJ, true professional. What a stand up guy.

[@NickFord33]

excellent interview... and while, I'm not a big AVB fan much anymore (changing styles), he mentions several important points that we should ALL remember. Good responses.

[@esoniq]

I'm not the fan of AvB, but this is the best djtt interview i've seen so far

[@karter344]

For everyone who wants to know, the track played at 7:43 is Armin Van Buuren - Suddenly Summer. Thumbs up so everyone can see!

[@popayoana8133]

[@K4xxGaming]

[@jacobheifetzlicht]

The last two sentences gave me chills.

[@easty81]

I didn't really care for the guy... until I saw this. Respect. Good interviews too btw DJTT

[@guerillascholar]

[@johnnyd138]

[@ChrisHollywoodPro1]

[@JHpr0duction]

Wow. That last minute was so inspiring!

[@robertocgomezdelacruz]

Quality Interview! This dude... This dude!

[@jocavani9947]

I LOVE ARMIN

[@yearofthegatch]

im just trying to say that Armin has stayed true to what he loves, nothing, more nothing less :P

[@priyonjoni]

awesome interview

[@SediMusic]

i love armin so much.

[@1powerequalsgod]

What Armin said about copying other djs is true especially club music. I myself as a dj prefer mastering turntables before moving on to cdjs and computer software.

[@wilkes982]

this guy actually makes me want to listen

[@SternwanderinYe]

The last thing he said :') it really makes you think as a Dj

[@sasha5566]

Amazing interview.

[@itsHerto]

Armin you are my idol, really!

[@hellbrainsx]

Such a down to earth guy for someone who takes thousands of people to heaven.

[@graffitizak]

i used to hate this guy after seeing a documentary about him but this totally changed my opinion he knows what hes on about

[@IxxsuffocatexxI]

Fantastic interview, thanks.

[@zulu26]

a "live" set utilizes a DAW like ableton to perform using clips. DJ sets use either vinyl or CDJ/serato/traktor to play and manually mix songs.

[@STCJCAC]

Terrific interview!

[@pinksue]

wow this was actually a really good interview...

[@sebastianklasenmusic]

Very Nice interview!

[@asd45043]

yea,true he's talking about art of Djing all the time :)

[@christianmyles1]

great, great man, dj, artist, etc. anybody know the track at the end of the video?

[@MrMarycha84]

Armin is Brilliant

[@susanrotella5157]

Not a fan of trance but its definitely great music. I am sad to see it struggling. I've always loved Armin though. Always a good time. Words of wisdom here bedroom DJs. DJs harness infinity, the sounds are infinite. Musicians know the sound of every note on their instrument. That is how Beethoven was able to compose deaf. But DJs have infinite options and the legends do really spectacular work. Trance has melody to help it along. Communications makes you feel...

[@ganyadus]

Armin why are you so beautiful... :'( God i love this man...Hes so amazing a beautiful beautiful human being...

[@djDivineJustice]

Great interview. Inspiring words of wisdom!

[@DJNCE]

AvB is the man. Great interview

[@ChurbroNZ]

Great video thanks!

[@Hoshi_Toranaga]

nice interview and a really great guy. thumbs up.

[@TheDVDjay]

7:59 If all Djs would listen to these wise words, the world would be such a better place ;)
