Armin van Buuren kicks of his Hï residency with a bang

Armin van Buuren is joined by Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano for a memorable opening fiesta over at Hï Ibiza.

Archetypal trance legend, Armin van Buuren is back on the White Isle for the insurmountable feet of a 15th consecutive season on the island. We were at Playa den Bossa's newest superclub, Hï Ibiza to see if the Dutch maestro still produces a melange of Ibiza magic for his waves of loyal followers.

After the winter hiatus, the nuptial of Armin van Buuren and was finally ready to kick off year two in style. One of the most popular and acclaimed residencies of 2017, Armin's residency has a slew of partygoers at his 2018 opening fiesta, and we couldn't wait to get amongst it.

The cemented king of trance, Armin Van Buuren was the big player over in the Theatre, while Mark Knight, Sunny James & Ryan Marciano bolstered the roster over in the club room

We arrived as Mark Knight took control of proceedings over in the Club Room. The Toolroom records head honcho had the cosmopolitan crowd rocking. His penultimate track crept in, the tune that is doing the rounds all over the Balearic electronic havan at the minute: Camelphats' remix of Fatboy Slim's Right Here Right Now. The prominent 2018 season number had the entire room belting out those famous lyrics, “RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW”.

Sunny James & Ryan Marciano took over the microphone to get the whole room to sing happy birthday to Mark Knight - what a touch.

After the cheers, the birthday boy meticulously brought in his self-produced anthem Man With The Red Face. There wasn't an iota of the room that wasn't in full flow now. A furore of dance moves and hands in the air took over the room, one of those memorable Ibiza moments.

We took ourselves over to the Theatre to see the main man in action Armin Van Buuren. Instantaneously we are immersed by the old school dance classic 4 strings - Take Me Away.

The room was in a trance-like state as AvB picked up the microphone and asked the crowd to put their hands in the air. As the crowd reciprocated, the energy in the room ascended to extreme levels.

Exploiting the sound system to full AVB drops one his fresh 2018 tracks, Just As You Are featuring Fiora.

The lasers intensified, the euphoria in the room electrified and the encompassing lights sparkled as the track built. This high bpm track with a heavy drop was the standout moment of an action-packed evening.

The result was a set with recurring seamless switch-ups from EDM to trance, showing of AvB's mesmerising talents.

If it is your shake, this night is the optimum of a blend of energy, euphoria and excitement. With loads of superstar DJs joining Armin throughout the season, you have plenty of opportunities to experience one of the best DJs in the world do his thing at Ibiza's newest and slickest super-club.
