Armin van Buuren

The Universal Religion series comprises a collection of tunes so deliciously Balearic and timeless that you could play all 3 chapters in succession without missing a beat. The music, like the island, retains its beauty and appeal year after year, despite numerous pretenders to its crown. “Every year another island is billed as ‘the new Ibiza’”, says Armin, “and every year they never live up to Ibiza’s vibe. It’s just so beautifully located, the weather’s great, and best of all, it has 6 or 7 of the world’s greatest clubs within 20 miles of each other!”

While most albums are meticulously planned, the mix is as organic as it gets, making it a unique capsule from one heady night on Isla Blanca. “I had the first two tracks lined up, and the rest I just chose as I played, gauged on the reaction from the dancefloor,” says Armin. “Tracks like Big Sky, Sunlounger and Daydream are pure Balearic gems. It’s scary to record something live but once the music starts flowing you lose yourself to it”.
