Armind
One would think, Dutch superstar Armin van Buuren is working at full capacity. Keeping him busy is not only the 'Armin Only – Mirage' show, but the release and promotion of countless productions, mixing the world-famous A State of Trance radio show on a weekly base and of course, the many, many gigs all across the globe. But you'd be amazed. This guy doesn't know when to stop. At least, not when it comes to new challenges. 'Winter Stayed' is one of them. On this melodic masterpiece he teamed up with one of Germany's most prominent producers in trance – Alex M.O.R.P.H. – and one of the most requested ladies in today's trance – Ana Criado. You get it: triple a, triple quality. After being exclusively featured on Armin's 'A State Of Trance 2011' compilation, the 'Winter Stayed' EP now hits the stores in two magical mixes. While the 'Alex M.O.R.P.H. Mix' concentrates on the more gentle sounds, yet hitting in with an energetic trance sound that only can be M.O.R.P.H.'s, Armin delivers a tighter, techier sounding version on his 'Armin van Buuren's On The Beach Remix'. 'Winter Stayed' is the perfect balancing act of two gifted creators, blended with an extraordinary voice.
