So ill start with the biggest name in trance,
SPOILER: Armins bioArmin van Buuren has been named number one in the prestigious DJ MAG Top 100 poll four times in a row, in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, as the first DJ in the history of the DJ Magazine and an indication of his prolific output over the more than 15 years he's been dj'ing and producing. In 2011, he became second in the critically acclaimed popularity poll, taking in a Top 3 position for the 8th year running. Being one of the world's most popular DJ's is just one of his many achievements, but the driving force behind his success is an overriding passion for dance music.
Awards & Accolades
Even a basic list of recent successes reads like a lifetime of work: he was awarded with the prestigious Buma Cultuur Pop Award in 2008. This was followed by being voted as the Best Trance Artist in the Beatport Music Awards judged on the musician's artistic achievements, national and international success. Next to that, Armin was awarded for 'Best European DJ' at the 2009 IDMA Awards, followed by 'Best Global DJ' in 2010 and most popular International DJ at Australia's Sony inthemix DJ Poll, along with 3 other big Awards. In March 2010, Armin received the 'Gouden Harp', the highest distinction a Dutch artist can get. On Queensday 2011, Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands named Armin Officer in the Order of Oranje-Nassau. The Royal Distinction was handed to him after his set in hometown Leiden by mayor Lenferink of Leiden. It is evident that Armin van Buuren has become one of the decade's most influential trance acts.
But there's more. '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 2006', claiming the 'Best European DJ' award in 2007 and 'Best Mix Radio Show' at the Miami Winter Music Conference 5 years in a row for radio show 'A State Of Trance' – now broadcasting on a massive 40 FM stations as well as satellite and internet radio, with over 15 million listeners a week; 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 anthem to the UEFA European Youth Championship; the #1 entry in the Dutch album charts with his artist album 'Imagine', the #1 entry of the DVD registration of 'Armin Only ' Imagine', a golden record for 'Mirage' on selling more than 25.000 copies in the Netherlands – the landmarks just keep coming!
Productions
Armin's own productions have all made a huge impact and quickly gain worldwide acclaim; his third artist album titled 'Imagine' entered the Dutch Album Top 100 Chart at number one; this is the first time a dance producer has ever accomplished such a feat in the history of Dutch music. The 'Armin Only – Imagine DVD' was also released and reached the acclaimed number one spot in its second week. The music video of 'In & Out of Love', the hit-single with singer Sharon den Adel, received more than 100 million views on YouTube, holding the first position on the Dutch Top 10 of most viewed videos all-time. Armin's back catalogue includes Blue Fear, Communication, Sound of Goodbye, Shivers, Rush Hour, Burned With Desire, Exhale, Love You More, This World Is Watching Me, and Yet Another Day. While the remix offers flood in, Armin only takes on tracks that he really loves. He uses exactly the same criteria for his compilations, meaning that every release from Armin or his long-running Armind or A State of Trance label is a bone fide stormer that's earned its place. His output includes tracks for the cult TV series 24 and the likes of Motorcycle, The Killers, Faithless, BT and Kerli.
But, as a true artist befits, Armin keeps creating new music and has released his fourth artist album, 'Mirage', in September 2010. For the album, Armin collaborated with the likes of BT, Christian Burns, Ferry Corsten, Adam Young and Nadia Ali. 'Mirage' reached golden status in The Netherlands only 3 months after its release, selling more than 25.000 copies. After the first single, the instrumental, powerful trance track 'Full Focus', the second release of the album was a collaboration with Sophie Ellis-Bextor, 'Not Giving Up On Love'. 'This Light Between Us', featuring Christian Burns, and 'Drowning' with singer Laura V, were the follow-up singles, as well as his collab with Nadia Ali, 'Feels So Good'. In Juni 2011, the official remix album of 'Mirage' was released. 'Mirage – The Remixes' includes remixes by Avicii, BT, Dash Berlin, Jerome Isma-Ae, 16 Bit Lolita's, Tocadisco, Kyau & Albert, W&W and many more.
A State of Trance & ASOT 500
But aside from recognition and ever-going fan support, it's the music that means most to Armin. The perfect example of that given fact, is his weekly 2-hour radioshow 'A State of Trance'. Listened to by 15 million EDM lovers, he continues to deliver his fans a selection of the best in trance and progressive, no matter how busy his tour schedule might be. A State of Trance 500, the 10th anniversary of the show, was celebrated in 5 different countries on 5 different continents; South-Africa, the Netherlands, USA, Argentina and Australia. All A State Of Trance 500 events were broadcast live.
ASOT Podcast and A State of Sundays
In addition to the weekly show, Armin also started the weekly ASOT podcasts, which contain highlights and Armin's favourite tracks from the previous episode, to ensure that trance lovers across the world will never miss another episode. Every Sunday, Armin van Buuren hosts a 24 hour radio day called 'A State of Sunday', broadcasted on one of the biggest radiostations of the US, Sirius XM Satellite Radio. Next to the A State of Trance shows, the show also introduces its listeners to special sets of other popular DJ's and talented artists.
A State of Trance compilations
Armin's annual A State of Trance compilations have won several awards and continue to lead the trance fans in the right trancy direction with a fresh and exclusive selection of tracks. The 8th edition of the series, A State of Trance 2011, was released in March 2011. As if one compilation isn't enough yet, Armin has been live recording some of his sets on Ibiza and released them under the 'Universal Religion' series. The summer of 2011 saw the 5th edition of this beloved series, a one hour live recording of Armin's residency at Club Space.
Performances & Armin Only
Being the world's number 1 DJ sees the Dutch DJ perform at some of the world's biggest and best festivals, clubs, events and shows. One of the highlights of 2010 was Armin's DJ set at the Museumplein in Amsterdam in July, during the honoring of the Dutch soccer team. Even though the national team lost in the FIFA Worldcup, they partied like they were the absolute winners, and so did the 200.000 strong crowd.
Sold-out shows for Armin Only in 2005 and 2006 created eager anticipation of the third edition, which kicked off in a sold-out Jaarbeurs in Utrecht in 2008; over 16,000 fans attended and were enthralled by the DJ's nine hour set. On New Years Eve 2008-2009, Armin managed to draw 35,000 people to his Armin Only show in the Los Angeles Sports Arena, making him the first Dutch DJ ever to have drawn such a big crowd to an own event.
For his fourth artist album, 'Mirage', Armin kicked off another Armin Only World tour: Mirage. After the first show in the sold-out Jaarbeurs in Utrecht on November 13th, Armin will continue to travel the globe with shows in 15 different countries, ranging from Australia to Ukraine, Argentina, Libanon and more. The Blu-Ray/DVD of 'Armin Only – Mirage', including the highlights of the kick-off and many extra's and specials, has been released in February 2011.
Armada Music
Amsterdam based record label Armada music was created in 2003 by Armin van Buuren, Maykel Piron and David Lewis. Releasing tracks by some of the biggest names in trance, progressive and house, plus organizing several club nights, had Armada gaining a steady and ever growing position in the dance industry. With 23 imprints residing under one umbrella, Armada has definitely proven to be working hard and after 8 years still feel passionate for top quality music.
Armin & New Media
In October 2009, Armin had the premiere of launching the first full music DVD as an application for the iPhone and iPod Touch. The complete DVD of Armin's 'Armin Only' concert in the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht, is available as an app. After downloading the app, users can see the full live registration on their iPhone or iPod Touch.
New media is something that surely gets Armin's attention. Armin's YouTube channel, as part of the Armada Music channel, is one of the most viewed channels on the net. The music video for Armin's 'In & Out of Love' has received more than 100 million views, and is therefore the most viewed music video of alltime within all categories on the Dutch YouTube. On Armin's YouTube, his fans can find the official music videos, exclusive interviews, specials, previews and party reports.
On the road biography 'Armin Only'
The author of 'Eén op Eén'(Dutch title), Coen Bom, has followed Armin around the world for over a year. He reports about the hectic life of one of the most popular DJ's of this moment. During the process of writing 'Armin Only', Armin was voted 'most popular DJ of the world' by the readers of British Magazine DJ Mag in their annual 'DJ Mag Top 100′. Coen Bom challenged himself to dig deep in Armin's past and present to find an answer to the question 'what is the key to Armin's success?'.
How it all began
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, gaining Armin's interest. "So as a little nerdy kid I was writing my own basic programs, 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!"
"I loved dance music immediately – this great rebellious sound that was so different to the 'beautiful' songs of the years before". Armin cites electronic pioneer Jean Michel Jarre as a major influence, as well as Dutch producer Ben Liebrand, who later mentored him in his mixing and producing.
In the early days, Armin thought it was wise to have something extra in case the dj'ing didn't work out. So he studied for a law degree. The final year of his course was inevitably stretched as he juggled his studies with his increasingly hectic schedule; his rise to fame included lots of productions and remixes, as well as playing out to packed clubs every weekend. It took him three years to graduate, but his determination made him succeed!
Armin is a dedicated trance lover, but isn't imprisoned by a single genre, saying "What makes trance work so well is that it doesn't stick to one style, and can incorporate electro, minimal, whatever it likes."
The main ingredient to Armin's life will always be music. "This is just what I really want," says Armin. "It's not just love for music, it's my passion. It goes beyond liking, and beyond a hobby, it's about a way of living. Music is essential to my life". http://www.arminvanbuuren.com.

SPOILER: Above&Beyond Bio
Biography of Above & Beyond
Real name / Jono Grant, Paavo Siljamäki. Tony McGuinness
Moniker(s) / OceanLab, Tranquility Base
“Few trance artists have reached Above & Beyond’s stature in terms of integrity and respect.” IDJ
“A cut above.” – Mixmag
“Above & Beyond’s vault from innovative trance trio to globetrotting DJ superstars is now complete.” DJ Magazine
“The UK’s new dance superstars.” Pete Tong, Radio 1
“A blend of sleek electronic rhythms, lush filmic textures and old-fashioned songwriting, ‘Tri-State’ is the fulfilment of any dance act’s ultimate album aspiration: a padding-free, skilled, diverse long-player. In a word ‘brilliant’. 5/5” DJ Magazine
There are DJs who can rock a party, a club, a festival. And there are acts that can write songs that will bring out the goose bumps in you. But there’s only one group that can do both: Above & Beyond. This three piece have remixed Madonna, won Essential Mix of the Year, and played to one million people in Rio de Janeiro. More importantly they’ve written songs with the power and the melody to en-trance that one million-strong crowd, many of who were singing along, word for word.
Above & Beyond make music, pure and simple. That music happens to be electronic. And it connects. “We’re a group,” says Above & Beyond founder Tony McGuinness. “And what we’re trying to do is exactly do that, connect with people. You try and describe something in your own life, but in a way that will resonate with other people. When you see people singing along as passionately as they do, I guess you’re getting it right.” This makes Above & Beyond unique, not just in trance, but in popular music as well. “We like to think of ourselves as songwriters first,” says Paavo Siljamaki, who with Jono Grant makes up the trio. “That’s our approach to music. The most challenging thing is to write a song that really touches the listener.”
Above & Beyond are not people who like to do things by halves. Witness their latest release, ‘Anjunabeats 100’ – a collection of the very best tracks from their universally respected Anjunabeats label. The album also includes a DVD documentary, which captures the two shows the band played over Christmas and New Year 2007. First they travelled to Goa, India, the spiritual home of trance and their label Anjunabeats, to play an unforgettable sunset set at an open-air beach festival. Days later they flew to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, another stronghold of the international trance sound, to headline a New Year’s Eve show on Barra de Tijuca beach – in front of one million people. Dressed in the traditional white of Brazilian New Year, Above & Beyond captivated Rio with a set that was truly magical. Many of that crowd were fans who had travelled from all over Brazil.
“It was life-changing,” says Tony. “It was amazing to look out and see that many people. In some ways it was too big to comprehend!” From club gigs in Eastern Europe to major festivals like Coachella in California, Above & Beyond have the ability to entrance audiences. Their music has grandeur and melody, but it’s edged with steel too. There are dark shadows but sweet moments too. And it’s bigger than any genre. Trance is too small a word for what they do.
All three are experienced musicians who know their way around a studio without the need for engineers. Tony McGuinness was marketing director for Warner Brothers Records – but for years previously was the guitarist/songwriter of cult indie band Sad Lovers & Giants. Asked to organize a remix of Chakra’s ‘Home’ in 2000, he joined together with Jono Grant and Paavo Siljamaki - and Above & Beyond was born. “By coincidence we ended up putting three individuals with complimentary and different talents into the mix,” says Tony. Pete Tong quickly latched on to their talents: that debut remix for Chakra quickly reached Number One on the club charts. It’s been a rollercoaster ride ever since.
Jono Grant first discovered dance music when he borrowed his brother James’s cassette of Paul Oakenfold’s classic Goa mix – and fell in love with its sweeping melodrama. He was already training as a classical pianist and played guitar. But that mix inspired him to start building his own studio, taking on part time jobs to buy bits and pieces of equipment. “I managed to save up enough money from mowing the lawn to buy a drum machine,” he laughs. By the time he arrived at London’s University of Westminster, he had a small, yet compact studio, which completely filled his tiny 4 x 2 metre university room. His first production was a remix of Strike’s Top Five hit ‘U Sure Do’.
Paavo had arrived at the same university from his native Finland, where he had already fallen in love with electronic music and composed music for theatre. Also classically trained on cello and piano, he was studying music business. The two met one beery night in university halls and Jono proceeded to play his latest productions. “I love this kind of music,” Paavo told Jono. “Let's write a track together.” Jono loved the idea. They pooled their studio resources in one mad taxi dash, and Anjunabeats was born. It is now one of the most famous labels on the world stage.
In 2001, Above & Beyond remixed Madonna’s ‘What It Feels Like For A Girl’ after Tony talked his way into her manager’s office – and into a remix. “We were pitching for the stars at that point,” smiles Paavo. Tony’s charm paid off when Madonna used their mix for her controversial hot rod rampage video, directed by her husband Guy Ritchie. When she phoned, requesting some minor changes, Tony was in flagrante with his girlfriend. He took the call though. Well, if Madonna calls… Other remixes have included Dido’s ‘Sand In My Shoes’ and Britney Spears’s ‘Everytime’.
Their first single proper, 2002’s ‘Far From In Love’ with Kate Cameron, quickly became a dance anthem. In 2006 Above & Beyond released their first artist album ‘Tri-State’ which was greeted with rave reviews. “Brilliant,” said DJ Magazine. “The ultimate fulfillment of any dance act’s ambition.” The sheer quality of the songwriting on this album shone through as it swept from euphoric melodies to atmospheric down-tempo moments. Above & Beyond had most certainly arrived. “Tri-State was our first attempt at writing an album,” says Paavo. “We felt the perfect album wouldn’t be 12 club tracks but a collection of songs that take you on a journey. It took over a year to do it. There were moments where we weren’t really sure. But in the end we feel we made something we could be proud of.”
One of the album’s many standouts is ‘Alone Tonight’ – a song Tony wrote after a relationship break-up. Its otherworldly melodies and heartfelt vocal performance from Richard Bedford resonate with audiences all over the world. “’Alone Tonight’ really does connect with people,” says Jono. “A lot of people who go to clubs are single, and that song is about being in a relationship but feeling alone. So it resonates with both groups of people.” Under their Oceanlab alias, used working with singer/songwriter Justine Suissa, they also produced the unforgettable ‘Satellite’. Again, there’s a lyric with universal appeal – which Tony wrote about Paavo and his Japanese wife, when both were on opposite sides of the world – coupled with melodies to make you shiver and a vocal drenched in emotion. It too has become a vocal trance classic and live favourite.
Yet Above & Beyond aren’t just consummate musicians and songwriters, they are also world class DJs. Their Trance Around The World radio show airs on over 120 FM, Internet and Satellite stations worldwide and reaches 20 million listeners. They began their DJing career in grand style in 2002, in front of 8,000 people in Tokyo. Since then they have become globetrotting DJ superstars. In 2004 they won Essential Mix of the Year, proving just how deftly they navigate the full spectrum of melodic dance music, with sets that cross genres with ease and that encompass the trancier side of house, progressive and techno. And each year they rise inexorably higher in the prestigious DJ Magazine poll: from 39, to 19, then down to nine, then six, before reaching their current placing at four. “To be among such great DJs is a real honour,” says Paavo, with a humility typical of the band. “There are people above and below that I really, truly respect.”
What audiences around the world also respond to is the professionalism and enthusiasm that Above & Beyond bring to their art. There is a warmth about the trio that people love. Tony is the one who gives it all on stage. “Tony is really the rock n’ roll star of the whole crew. He’s the guy with the most experience, in life, in many things,” says Paavo, “and he still manages to be the kid of the group.” Tony sums up his band members with equal enthusiasm. “Jono is ambivalent about the incredible talent he has. He has a lot of energy, he is fearless when he’s DJing and is always in a good mood.” If Jono’s contribution is an effortless musicality, says Tony, Paavo adds heart and soul. “What he brings in a sense is how to bring out the emotion in a track.”
The ongoing Above & Beyond world tour continues. And the band have just returned from Ibiza, where, prolific as ever, they have been recording an Oceanlab album with Justine Suissa that is even more widescreen in its vision, says Jono, than ‘Tri-State’. They work instinctively as a team, constantly striving to get better. “You get more out of life by collaborating,” notes Tony. “We’re always trying to grow, we’re always trying to learn and we’re always trying to get better at what we do.” And what they do is make music with melody, movement – and meaning. Music, in short, that matters to people across the globe. “You can do stuff that is popular without selling out,” says Jono. “If you do something of good quality, people respond to that.” Which is why even when they are half a world away, audiences always make Above & Beyond feel at home.

SPOILER: Tiesto Bio.
Date of Birth
17 January 1969, Breda, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands
Birth Name
Tijs Verwest
Height
6' 2" (1.88 m)
Mini Biography
Born Tijs Verwest in Holland back in 1969, Tiesto's aim from the start was 'to share his music with others'. By first gaining experience with his residency in Dutch club The Spock all while perfecting his producing skills in the studio at the start of 1995, he was always searching for the next best set to play. By 1997 it all came true when he and close friend Arny Bink founded the now legendary Black Hole Recordings. Spawning numerous hits such as the trance music classics 'Suburban Train', 'Flight 643' and 'Lethal Industry', DJ Tiesto's debut album 'In My Memory' became one of Holland's best selling dance albums in 2002 while also being voted DJ Magazine's World No. 1 DJ beating of former holder John Digweed in the same year.
This was not yet his peak though. In 2003 Tiesto envisioned performing a set, but not in just a club venue - a stadium. For the first time in music history Tiesto became the first DJ to host a concert in a sell-out event in a 25,000 capacity stadium going on to what became the 'Tiesto In Concert' Tour around the world. In doing this, Tiesto broke the boundaries of the superstar DJ and set new records while at the same time being crowned world number one again by the readers of DJ Magazine.
Jump forward just one year. As well as the successful mix compilation series 'In Search Of Sunrise' (Vols 1-4) and Magik Musik (1-7) Tiesto became the first DJ ever to host the Olympic Opening Ceremony for the Athens 2004 Olympics, setting another record for biggest audience ever played to by a DJ - 3.8 billion. As well as performing his set, Tiesto also produced an album exclusively for the event - Parade of The Athletes, with all new material as well as his next studio effort 'Just Be' spawning the hit 'Traffic', the first non-vocal track to make the number one spot in the Dutch national charts for 23 years.
Having won pretty much every dance music award there is, Tiesto's aim is, as he says just to keep on improving and produce more albums. With another mix compilation and solo effort due for 2006, even if he was to retire tomorrow, Tiesto would be looked upon as one of the greatest DJ's to go behind a set of turntables.
