Review: ARMIN ONLY EMBRACE World Premiere at Ziggo Dome

The Netherlands are producing hit after hit. Not only wooden shoes and mills are typical Dutch: the DJ-scene is booming! Think of Tiësto, Hardwell and Afrojack; world renowned artists who make dance palaces in stadiums all over the world. King of the dance music is Armin van Buuren. Millions of people all over the globe watched his stadium shows. Armin Only Embrace is the new highlight in his career.

Ballerinas and trumpeteers
Exciting visuals, spectacular fireworks, crystal clear sound and over twelve thousand fans were united in the music temple of Amsterdam: the Ziggo Dome. Eric Vloeimans, one of the best trumpet players of this age opened the show with a mesmerizing improvisation on one of Armin's tracks. A ballerina used the booth as an opponent in a sensual dance with a red velvet dress, what that took over the stadium. Darkness covered the stage and there he was: Armin welcomed the crowd with fireworks, dazzling beats and stunning lightwork. But it wasn't only electronic music that ruled the night; a variety of performing artists as Mr. Probz and Kensington changed the scenery and tone of voice, which was a nice change during the stage show.

Different styles
Armin van Buuren is for years the number one DJ who still makes a lot of different styles of electronic music. But he doesn't only finetune the electronic music, he literally embraces other genres. Influences of jazz with Eric Vloeimans, Mr. Probz's R&B and the rock of Kensington - he makes even fantastic renditions from the music of Adele and Faithless.

Not a regular night out
Armin Only Embrace isn't just a regular dance night out, he created a new standard of stage shows with dance music. Find it out yourself! Armin performs Embrace in Gdansk, Dubai, Marbella, Sofia, Istanbul, Minsk, Mexico City and Moscow. Check arminonly.com/events for tickets and information.
