Armin van Buuren is back, with a video for his track Shivers.
A lot of people are going to hate this video and for good reasons:
- It starts with the slow motion babe shots and then quickly introduces the theme of the slow motion babe missing van Buuren
- Slow motion babe takes time out to dream about van Buuren
- Time out – for the slow motion babe to get naked and wet in slow motion, and then…..
- OMG! He’s in the f***** shower!
- But it was just a dream….not a creepy stalking incident.
- Oh yeah – it’s mainstream trance!
- Slow motion babe finds hope for redemption at the end.
Yes – it’s formulaic – and long-time Synthtopia readers know that we tend to like videos that involve DJing with decapitated heads, thousands of Legos reproducing classic 8-bit graphics or Thriller in the Nude.
But you know what? van Buuren totally nails this sh**. He’s committed. If you want to make trance, you could do worse than to study everything van Buuren does.
I’m not sure if there’s anything to be learned from this – but if you’re laboring away making music in an obscure electronic niche, you might want to consider adding slow motion babe/hunk shots to your next video.

I don't mind people dancing at a club if there's some memorable twist to set it apart from all the rest. The same thing goes for the music itself — simple techniques like using supersaws in pentatonic formation haven't been used enough, yet would attach a gravity of a FAMILIAR sound + UNIQUE exploration.
remember fun? I remember fun! I miss fun.
It's Not van Buuren she is imagining…it's a differnt guy. Van Buuren is the one DJ'ing
OK, I admit it. I may have been distracted by the slow motion babe shots.
Another disadvantage to van leasing is that it can be difficult to calculate the annual mileage and other charges. A leased van has a set number of miles that can be accumulated on it. If the number of miles exceeds this number, the charges can be quite costly. To avoid this, it is important to accurately calculate the mileage that one does in a year. Miscalculating this can lead to heavy charges that the individual or company leasing the van was not expecting. Other charges that may be included in a lease is that the individual will have to pay for any damages to the vehicle. Although this would probably be the case should the person own the van outright, there may be some minor damages that the individual would not bother in fixing if the van were their own property?
