Rumors that Armin van Buuren was putting the final touches to his new artist album have been circulating the web for months now, and the legions of dance music fans are delighted to know that those rumors weren’t false. The five-time #1 DJ in the world unveiled back in the early September the name and full tracklist of his seventh artist album. ‘BALANCE’, which follows on previous albums ‘76’, ‘Shivers’, ‘Imagine’, ‘Mirage’, ‘Intense’ and ‘Embrace’, is set for release this Friday October 25th.
Armin van Buuren: “I’m so glad I can finally reveal the name and release date of my new album. ‘BALANCE’ is a new chapter in my book of life, the result of venturing into known and unknown territories while finding the balance in between. I can’t wait to share it with you!”
Fans were also able to get a taste of the forthcoming ‘BALANCE’ album through the release of new album singles every week until the full release of the album on October 25. ‘Waking Up With You’, Something Real, It Could Be, Don't Let Me Go, Mr Navigator, Unlove You were just some of the brilliant creations to come from ‘BALANCE’ that have manage to fuel anticipation and skyrocket the pre-orders and pre-saves of this top notch album coming this Friday 25th of October.
Adding to this Armin van Buuren has gone the extra mile with an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind experience to celebrate his long-anticipated seventh artist album. Together with Armada Music and Sherlocked Mystery Experiences, the five-time #1 DJ in the world launched a world-exclusive, ‘Balance’-themed escape room adventure, giving players the opportunity to unlock the hidden message of ‘Balance’ whilst simultaneously teasing songs from the album ahead of its full release on October 25.
The ‘Armin van Buuren presents: Balance’ escape room will run for two weeks only, starting on Wednesday, October 16, the first day of Amsterdam Dance Event 2019. Groups ranging from four to six persons can play the escape room, bookable via escaperoom.arminvanbuuren.com.
Armin van Buuren: “I’m a huge fan of escape rooms, so launching my own escape room in celebration of my new album ‘Balance’ is something I’m very excited about. I can’t wait to hear what you guys think of the album and the game, and I hope you can fully lose yourselves in the story of ‘Balance’. And that you manage to get out unscathed of course!”
Based on Sherlocked’s award-winning heist experience The Vault, the ‘Balance’ escape room allows players to dive head first into Armin van Buuren’s brand-new album and its hidden message. Posing as music journalists, they need to gain access to a high-security vault complex in the heart of Amsterdam and solve numerous puzzles in order to discover what it takes to ensure success as an artist in the music industry today.
