00:29We caught up with Armin just minutes before he went on stage to play his 2-hour-long set.

00:34Fans in India are just so excited, they go crazy, they dance, they party hard.

00:53It is one and only. There is nothing like it.

00:56I love London. I love London.

00:59And I love Armin.

01:05He changed my life because my brother is a DJ because of him.

01:10And when I was going through a very rough patch in my life, his music gave me hope.

01:15Trance music is melodic, energetic, instrumental, uplifting music that is very close to classical music actually.

01:27It gives you chills. It makes you high without tools.

01:33Armin was touring India to kick off the 17th edition of the Sunburn Arena, an offshoot of the Sunburn Music Festival.

01:40Next week, I'm not at Tomorrowland Brazil, for example, as much as I'm going to miss it.

01:45But I want to be with my family. I chose to do the India tour, not to go to Brazil.

01:49This is one of the dreams that I'm living right now, of witnessing Armin live right here.

01:54Sometimes, you know, journeys do have a destination and this stage is that destination.

02:14As we went deeper into the thousand-strong crowd, the audience moved as one.

02:19People were singing, dancing and getting rides on each other's shoulders as Armin played his greatest hits.

02:26The love for trance music has always been big in India. And now that there's more young people, it helps.

02:31I keep coming back because the fans are here.

02:37I went to listen to him in 2017 and I've been a fan ever since. I've been into trance music for the past 10 years.

02:45Over the past few days, Armin performed in cities such as Bengaluru, Kolkata and Mumbai.

02:50He had been ranked the number one DJ five times, four years in a row by DJ Mag

02:54and shared how he was able to maintain a healthy balance in life.

02:58Look after yourself. Sleep well. Don't take drugs. Don't use alcohol. Stay fit.

03:05Try to enjoy, but take your job seriously.

03:08Cheers to him!
