#5 Feat. Banner in Mainstage

There's more to breathing in than simply inhaling oxygen. Beyond the former, it's about appreciating the moment and what's about to happen, and about seeing the light in others. Taking a breath means accepting and respecting what's in front of you, welcoming the outside influence and establishing a deeper connection with everything, or everyone, around you. And that's what drives Armin van Buuren's ninth studio album. Inextricably linked to meditation and the major part it has come to play in Armin van Buuren's life, 'Breathe In' follows on from 'Feel Again' to mark the next chapter in the Dutchman's inspiring career. Across its twelve tracks, which were written in the two-plus years following the end of the pandemic and includes great songs such as 'Forever (Stay Like This)', 'God Is In The Soundwaves', 'Love Is A Drug', 'Lose This Feeling' and 'Bed Of Rain', the album radiates positivity, open-mindedness and unity, presenting a multidimensional snapshot of who Armin van Buuren is right now as a person and producer. In sound, soul and spirit, the album is a celebration of life and an ode to how music and dance floors keep bringing people together. So focus on the wonder around you, inhale and let it shape a deeper understanding for one another. Just 'Breathe In'.

#28 Feat. Banner in Afro House

For many people, music is an important emotional outlet. It can amplify the happiness you feel when you're at the crest of the wave or numb the pain when it's all falling apart and everything hurts. So too for Nico de Andrea. When life threw him a set of curveballs, he took to the studio to grieve and counter the sadness. The result is his phenomenal debut album: 'Love Therapy'. Inspired by his personal experiences with impossible love, conflict and separation, the first album of the French artist extraordinaire is a sonic melting pot of melodic pop, afro house and melancholic undertones channeled through the piano, an instrument Nico has honed since childhood. From the fragility of 'One Last Call' to the darkness of 'Start The Fire' to finally finding confidence and peace of mind with 'Dreamin' 514' and 'Million Times', the album presents themes of nostalgia, longing, passion and hope that permeate its twelve tracks. Fundamentally, 'Love Therapy' consists of meaningful songs wrapped in danceable afro house rhythms. But beneath the surface, this album shows how music can alleviate the otherwise unbearable pain and help find the light that guides a lost soul home.
