Armada Music is the biggest independent dance music label in the world. Founded by Armin van Buuren, Maykel Piron (CEO) and David Lewis, the label manages an ever-growing catalog of over 40,000 tracks, built up across twenty-plus years of specialized dance music exploitation. 

Representing artists such as Armin van Buuren, ARTY, D.O.D, Eelke Kleijn, Jan Blomqvist, Loud Luxury, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, Tensnake, THEMBA and Yulia Niko, Armada Music amasses more than one billion streams per month, airplay on leading radio outlets such as BBC Radio 1 and Sirius XM, and top positions in the world’s most notable charts. The label also takes great pride in major achievements such as Armin van Buuren’s GRAMMY nomination for ‘This Is What It Feels Like’, Loud Luxury and Brando’s ‘Body’ surpassing one billion streams on Spotify and breaking artists such as Lost Frequencies into global stardom.

Across offices in Amsterdam (HQ), New York, London and Laren (NL), Armada Music offers a truly global appeal to its growing roster. The label has its own club, radio studio and multiple production studios, and hosts various live formats. Producer platform Armada University, which offers educational products and opportunities, shows the label’s sustained effort to nurture the next wave of talent. 

In 2023, Armada Music launched BEAT Music Fund, the world’s first dance music investment company, that acquires catalogs with the mission of honoring, representing and reinvigorating them. BEAT’s portfolio will continue to grow; in the first six months following its launch, BEAT acquired the catalogs of, among others, electronic music star ARTY, house and techno pioneer Kevin Saunderson’s KMS Records, legendary NYC-based house label King Street Sounds and chart-topping producers Chocolate Puma.

<a href='http://gigs.gigatools.com/u/ledexter' target='_new'>Daniel Dexter's Upcoming Gigs </a>Friday 25 October, 2013 <a href='http://gigs.gigatools.com/u/ledexter' target='_new'>Luna Club, Kiel, Germany</a> <a href='http://www.gigatools.com' target='_new'>Powered by GigaTools</a> Daniel Dexter is a producer, DJ and labelowner. He’s been living in Berlin for a few years now and one can call him a jack-of-all-trades. He releases on Steve Bug’s label Poker Flat Recordings as well as Semester Musik and Andre Crom’s OFF Recordings.
His love is devoted to reduced House, Chicago House and Detroit Techno.
Nevertheless, he doesn’t really care about genre-boundaries. His DJ Sets promise euphoria, style and attitude. They live on the mixture of abstract melodies that are carried through danceable rhythms and percussive grooves. Daniel Dexter knows his way around music. He knows his job as a DJ. He owns a filed mixing-technique and an exclusive mixture of records. However, he’s also a party animal.

But who the hell is that guy?

In the beginning Daniel was into Punk music but then got fascinated by the new electronic music. The machine like sound from acts like Kraftwerk is what fascinated him so.
As young as the age of sixteen he bought his first DJ equipment. Looking for the underground in the Bavarian province he found it at illegal parties at factorials and empty buildings in his hometown Ingolstadt. The sets as a resident DJ were often longer than 7hours and the clubs were all wrecked and not even the drinks were on the house. Nevertheless, the enthusiasm was so high; he started to produce his own tracks. Just after the millennium he was torn to Berlin as something was happening right there and the sound he liked so much was just there. Through the first record releases he was very often booked as a main act. Because of his engagements he saw cities such as New York, Istanbul, London, Barcelona, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, Tijuana or Helsinki. His music is nowadays found in the record bags of famous DJ’s such as Erol Alkan, Laurent Garnier, Kevin Saunderson, Steve Bug, Tiefschwarz, Modeselektor, Jesse Rose, Sis, Nick Curly, Gorge and A-Trak.

Vriendje van Ferry is de Amsterdamse aanvoerder van de Old Dutch Pancake House. Vrijwel altijd dicht in de buurt van elke gemeende glimlach en een bovenmeester in het beoefenen van spontane vrolijkheid neemt Vriendje je mee van disco naar nieuwe disco met een mespunt Italiaanse disco. Van verantwoorde houseplaten naar de guilty pleasures van je tante. Van het meest discutabele en fiere van wat de jaren 80 en 90 ons te bieden hebben naar de euforische parels uit een heel ander millenium. Na legendarische all-nighters bij Paardenkracht in Club Air, marathon sets op Bungalup en Amsterdam Open Air en actes de presence op o.a. Buiten Westen, Valtifest, Valhalla en in Paradiso, Chicago Social club en nog wat namethrowing material, kunnen alle DJ’s met trots zeggen dat ze collega’s van Vriendje van Ferry zijn. En zo is het maar net. Voor boekingen en dat soort dingen, mail mino@moovebookings.nl
