ARMIN VAN BUUREN DROPS NEW, IBIZA-FLAVORED MIX ALBUM: ‘A STATE OF TRANCE, IBIZA 2017’

For the fourth year in a row, Armin van Buuren has turned to the White Isle with a sizzling-hot edition of his ‘A State Of Trance’ mix album series. Through ‘A State Of Trance, Ibiza 2017’, the five-time number one DJ in the world, who’s been in charge of the Wednesday nights at Hï Ibiza this summer, pushes the Trance genre onto an even higher level and lets its fans revel like never before.

Composed of two parts (‘On The Beach’ and ‘In The Club’), ‘A State Of Trance, Ibiza 2017’ harbors forty jaw-dropping Trance smashes from some of the most talented and highly-acclaimed Trance artists of the moment, including Alexander Popov, Alpha 9, Ben Gold, BT, Estiva, Gaia, Gareth Emery, KhoMha, Ørjan Nilsen and Super8 & Tab. Anticipated since Armin van Buuren teased some of its exclusive tracks on the ASOT stage at Tomorrowland Belgium 2017, ‘A State Of Trance, Ibiza 2017’ marks a definite 2017 highlight for Trance fans across the globe.

Since 2004, Armin van Buuren has released at least one ‘A State Of Trance’ mix album every year in addition to the ‘A State Of Trance Year Mix’, which has remained an annual highlight for countless Trance fans. Both series, the events and his A State Of Trance label imprint are directly tied to his A State Of Trance radio show, which is broadcast weekly from his radio studio in Amsterdam to approximately 42 million listeners in over a hundred different countries around the world. Past Thursday, episode 827 of A State Of Trance involved a one-hour ‘A State Of Trance, Ibiza 2017’ special, which fully succeeded in getting fans psyched for today’s release of the mix album.

Armin van Buuren releases new single "Sunny Days" in advance of EDC Las Vegas

ARMIN VAN BUUREN LAUNCHES SUMMER ANTHEM ‘SUNNY DAYS’ (FEAT. JOSH CUMBEE)

AND MUSIC VIDEO

While pop predecessor ‘I Need You’ keeps going strong around the world, Armin van Buuren has already launched the smash single’s follow-up and its official music video. Both ‘Sunny Days’, which features L.A.-based singer-songwriter Josh Cumbee, and the music video, which was shot in Italy, have been released today on Amsterdam-based record label Armada Music.

Radiant, upbeat and more addictive than the caresses of a hot summer sun. Those three things capture the essence of Armin van Buuren’s brand-new single. Representing a piece of summer that never fails to bring a smile to your face, ‘Sunny Days’ features the warm vocals of Josh Cumbee, mesmerizing guitar play and delightful vibes that dance music enthusiasts the world over just have to indulge in. Whereas the song itself was written over the course of a vibrant multi-day studio session in Los Angeles, the music video of ‘Sunny Days’ was shot at a sun-laden sweet spot in Italy.

“Sunny Days” was inspired by summer and all the great things that happen this time of year. So many bright days, warm nights and some of the best dance music festivals take place during these months. I hope all fans will enjoy it as much as Josh and I do!,” Armin says.

‘I Need You’, Armin van Buuren’s collaboration with Grammy-winning producer Fernando Garibay and singer Olaf Blackwood, is the song ‘Sunny Days’ aims to build on. It saw its release on Armada Music at the start of this year and has since racked up more than 25 million streams on Spotify alone, all the while topping the Mediabase Dance Charts for several weeks. It’s up to ‘Sunny Days’ to match or even surpass those brilliant achievements.
