Armin van Buuren as a performer

Armin started his DJ career at the club Nexus in Leiden, where he learned to play long DJ sets, regularly six to seven hours per set. During school holidays he played more than four times a week, but -- reportedly -- he never stopped loving it. In 1999 he met Dave Lewis who introduced him as a DJ in England and the United States. His DJ career accelerated, entering the DJ magazine Top-100 in November of 2001 at Number 27. He has played in more than 25 different countries and, according to his fans, he is known for his intelligent and uplifting music. Often you can find him on the main stage at big summer festivals. Recently he played a record-breaking nine-hour set for Dancetheater in The Hague (Holland). In the United Kingdom you can see him perform regularly at Passion (resident 2002), Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, Slinky, Peach and Golden.
