Releasing in the broad range of electronic music, Amsterdam’s Armada Deep represents the deeper side of Armada Music. By bringing tracks which have proven their strengths in the underground, yet still retain crossover potential, Armada Deep can boast its place as a home for some of the very best deep house music around.

Continuing our new series, alongside sister site Deep House London, we highlight some of our favourite labels in the Netherlands, UK and beyond. Today we thought we would catch up with Kevin Duane and get the scoop on all things Armada Deep. Here, you will find information on the label’s history, philosophy, releases and future. As you can probably tell by know, we are asking each respective label owner the same questions. With this approach, we hope these showcases will be as educational and informative (for all you aspiring label heads out there) as they are entertaining.

Also, this upcoming ADE, Armada Deep will present its showcase event. Lost Frequencies, one of the hottest DJs of the moment, has been confirmed for a headline spot. In addition to acclaimed deep house artists ANOTR, MÖWE, Pretty Pink, CALVO, Boy Kiss Girl, and Deepend, the Belgian hit machine (known for his worldwide hit singles ‘Are You With Me’ and ‘Reality’) are to perform at Armada Deep on Thursday October 15th in the illustrious Heineken Experience venue, which has never seen an Amsterdam Dance Event party before.

Also, you will find an exclusive mix from Armada Deep's Kevin Duane, giving readers an idea of the Armada Deep sound as its meant to be heard…in the mix! Born in New York but based in Amsterdam, the young twenty something runs his own label nights, manages both Subjekt Recordings and Armada Deep and is a regular and respected face on both the local and international scene.

Beyond their breathtaking melodies and explosive live sets, you’ll find dance music's closest friendship. Dutch powerhouse duo Lucas & Steve have seen a momentous rise to stardom in recent years with consecutive summer hits, multiple platinum and golden records, an endless string of international performances and accolades from BUMA (The Netherlands), Fun Radio (France), DJ Mag, MTV and many more.

The pair are renowned for uplifting productions and emotive lyrics, etching their place in modern dance music with massive radio hits like "Summer On You", "Up Till Dawn", "Where Have You Gone", “Perfect” and of course “Letters”, the title track of their 2020 debut album: "Letters to Remember”. Their 16 song LP, which received the Netherlands’ prestigious Edison Pop Award, showcases their musical diversity and solidifies Lucas & Steve’s reputation as truly talented songwriters. With deeply embedded dance roots, the pair have collaborated with the likes of Armin van Buuren, Sam Feldt, W&W, Mike Williams and remixed many household names such as David Guetta, Robin Schulz, Kygo, Lost Frequencies and Illenium among many others.

Since, the Dutch tastemakers have continued their upward trajectory with a slew of highly anticipated and heavy hitting collaborations. 2021 saw Lucas & Steve first team up with R&B icons Blackstreet for the radio-friendly ‘No Diggity’, before bringing things back to the festival with ‘Paper Planes’, a joint venture alongside Norway’s very own Tungevaag.

Lucas & Steve’s infinite energy is best experienced in a crowd, which they’ve proven time after time with acclaimed live performances at Tomorrowland’s Mainstage, Creamfields, AMF, Parookaville, Sziget Festival, ElectroBeach, as well as continuous tours across Europe, Asia and South America.

As the world came to a standstill in 2020, Lucas & Steve continued to elevate their songwriting and recording process to new heights, resulting in the duo surpassing 1 billion streams from all corners of the globe. Lucas & Steve continued to up the ante throughout 2021, churning out trendsetting and memorable collaborations alongside industry icons like Afrojack, Tiësto, and Galantis. Most recently, Lucas & Steve expressed their excitement to bring their sound back on the road with the release of the aptly titled “Set You Free”. Completely reinvigorated, Lucas & Steve are finally emerging from the past two years with a whole new bag of musical tricks up their sleeves. With a succulent summer tour ahead, the Dutch duo is ready to show fans that the best is yet to come.
