On Saturday, July 25, Armin van Buuren played at the Main Stage at Tomorrowland his latest and most exciting collaboration to date with electronic legend, Jean-Michel Jarre, entitled ‘Stardust’.
Set to be a part of Jean-Michel Jarre’s eagerly anticipated new album, ‘Stardust’ is the sixth piece of music to be announced from the Frenchman’s forthcoming project, due on October 16. Taking his place alongside other outstanding luminaries such as M83, Tangerine Dream, Gesaffelstein, 3D (Massive Attack) and Vince Clarke, Armin van Buuren is the first artist announced from pure trance roots—something that Jarre himself insisted upon.
“Trance music is one of the biggest movements and draws in electronic music,” said Jarre. “Armin van Buuren has always stayed faithful to that style and he’s one of the most respected figures of that genre. Trance music had to be included in this journey for me.”
Dimitri Kechagias review: The true legend and undeniable pioneer of electronic music Jean Michel Jarre meets the Dutch trance king of trance Armin Van Buuren for the common track Stardust. The release includes the album edition and the Armin Van Buuren Rising star remix. The original mix is a beautiful piece of melodic music with super strong orchestral classical music strings in the breakdown along with the experimental touches that Jean brings always to his music. The result is an energetic melodic track that has wonderful flow and warm floating feeling that brings hope and relaxation to your heart. Armin adds his touches and transforms the original into a powerful dynamic rocking uplifting straight to the point pure honest trance that bounce hard and make you feel free and happy for sure. Quality production that proves how influential is Jean and his ability to be so fresh and unique after so many years. Stardust is destined to become a classic trance anthem, #PureGold Love IT
