Shivers
Album · Dance · 2005
Armin van Buuren’s name is synonymous with trance—hence his radio show “A State of Trance”—but on his second proper album, from 2005, the Dutch DJ shows off his versatility, juggling silky breakbeat cuts (“Wall of Sound”), filter-swept deep house (“Bounce Back”) and even alt-rock (“Golddigger”). After a decade’s worth of turning out high-energy 12-inches, he has his dance-floor skills in top form: The drum programming is sleek and pumping, the basslines forceful and lithe. And with the rich, enveloping synths of “Control Freak” and “Serenity”, he proves a masterful conductor of uplifting emotions.
