Long a mainstay of his ‘ARMIN ONLY - Intense’ tours, the iconic and memorable PING PONG has already been played for tens of thousands of screaming fans around the world. What began as a song exclusively meant for ARMIN’s live shows, quickly grew into something much larger, culminating in its release into the wild.
Since its inception, PING PONG has already been championed by such titans as current #1 DJ of the World Hardwell, Danny Howard, David Guetta, Dash Berlin, Nicky Romero, W&W, Bingo Players, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Ferry Corsten, Style Of Eye, Ivan Gough, and many more. The song has seen extensive radio support, and Hardwell and Simon Patterson remixes will be arriving soon.
ARMIN crafted the song to be a decidedly lo-fi moment in a show otherwise filled with significant technical wizardry. His fascination with the classic video game PONG lead to an idea that would eventually snowball into the massive production it is today. Fans of ARMIN ONLY will forever remember the PING PONG segment of the show, with the captivating dance, hilarious yellow smiley face balloons dropping from the sky, and lighthearted atmosphere that goes along with this inescapably catchy, unassuming anthem.
PING PONG is also slated to make an appearance on the highly influential “A State Of Trance 2014”compilation, to be released March 28th, 2014. A full-blown music video will also appear shortly.

Dimitri Kechagias review: Armin van Buuren, the 5 times number 1 dj, radio host, producer, label owner and one of the greatest entertainer of all times presents his massive anthem Ping Pong on Armada Music. This very unique and totally fresh track became well known as part of Armin Only show that is currently touring the world with sold out events and thousands of fans worldwide commenting in their social media about the high production standards that we are accustomed to get when Alda Events from The Netherlands is involved of course. Ping Pong captures everything that is good in a massive club night. Ping Pong is the celebration of life through the eyes and ears of electronic dance music fans. It brings subliminally the message of being positive, being happy and gives YOU a wide smile in YOUR face straight away. It starts with long teasing intro with Ping Pong vocal samples, tough demanding kicks and dominating basslines. The first breakdown reveals the Ping Pong sound effect that becomes faster and faster until the heavy kick to strike back building the tension and excitement even more ready for the thunderous and absolutely earth shuttering climax. Massive synths added and the party continues to rock and Ping Pong non stop. The longer breakdown starts with heavy acid synthy lead that combined with the Ping Pong sound effects create the ultimate mayhem that comes thick, fast and furious on the final full on acid trance climax that will recall top tracks by beloved artists like Hardfloor. Nearly 7.40 minutes of dance pleasure that will give you multiple eargasms. Ping Pong is the perfect bridge that connects the beginnings of Electronic Dance Music with its future prospects. #PureGold Love It
