The album is spearheaded by Armin van Buuren’s tenth anniversary remix of his Grammy-nominated hit ‘This Is What It Feels Like’

 

As Armada Music’s twentieth anniversary year comes to a close, the biggest independent dance music label in the world is putting its finishing touches on a year of celebrations with a legacy-spanning remix album: ‘Armada Music – 20 Years (Remixed)’. Spearheaded by a special tenth anniversary remix of Armin van Buuren’s Grammy-nominated hit ‘This Is What It Feels Like’ (feat. Trevor Guthrie), '20 Years (Remixed)' offers a fresh take on thirty of Armada Music’s all-time classics, truly embodying the scope of the label’s work over the past two decades.

The collection of remixes reintroduces some of dance music’s most treasured classics through modern interpretations from today’s scene leaders and underground champions, including fresh reimaginations from artists such as Anna Tur, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, Victor Ruiz, Joris Voorn, Marsh and more. Some of the tracks have already been making their rounds on the circuit, such as DJ Daddy Trance’s remix of Lock N’ Load’s ‘Blow Ya Mind’, KREAM’s remix of Three Drives on a Vinyl’s ‘Greece 2000’ and Young Marco’s remix of Chicane’s ‘Saltwater’ featuring Moya Brennan.

The remix album follows the Armada Music – 20 Years Classics documentary series, the release of a limited-edition box set with four vinyl records comprised of Armada Music’s greatest hits, and the label’s largest ADE program to date, all to honor the legacy of dance music and its most seminal artists and hits. The album comes in tandem with this year’s launch of BEAT Music Fund, the first-ever dance music investment company with a mission to reinvigorate dance music’s most legendary catalogs and tracks through optimization and creative promotion.

Echoing the label’s proven track record of elevating dance music classics in today’s landscape, '20 Years (Remixed)' unveils two decades of dance music exploitation and gives an exciting glimpse into Armada Music’s drive and dedication to continue innovating for many years to come.

In advance of its 20th anniversary this June, Armada Music, the biggest independent dance music label in the world, today revealed the first episode of its documentary series ‘Armada Music 20 Years Classics’ – a deep dive into the history of dance music and its most seminal artists and hits. The series has been commissioned especially for the anniversary as part of the label’s mission to share and celebrate its deeply rooted passion for dance music.


‘Armada Music 20 Years Classics’ pays homage to dance music’s rich history and aims to educate a new generation of fans about the artists who shaped the genre. The first episode features a behind-the-scenes look at the creation and legacy of Joe Smooth’s ‘Promised Land,’ including an exclusive interview with the producer and DJ who is credited as one of the pioneers of house music. BBC Radio 1 DJs, Pete Tong and Judge Jules, and Armada Music CEO, Maykel Piron, discuss how ‘Promised Land’ not only launched a new genre within dance music, but also inspired each of them in their careers. Currently available to stream via Armada Music’s YouTube channel, Armada Music TV, the episode is the first in a series of five episodes dropping between now and the end of this year.
“When we started Armada Music in 2003, our mission was to create excitement around and passion for dance music,” said Maykel Piron, CEO of Armada Music. “Fast-forward 20 years and you’ll see we’ve stayed true to that goal and have worked hard to create a company that prioritizes and amplifies global artists. Through the documentary series we’re putting artists at the forefront, yet again, to present new fans with the rich history of dance and give lifelong fans a look at the inspiration behind some of the genre’s most impactful tracks.”
In addition to the documentary series, the label will be holding 20th anniversary celebrations throughout the year to honor the legacy of dance music, including the launch of a fan-voted Armada Music Top 100 list, and revisiting and remixing the biggest dance music classics.
