Now that clubs are closed and parties can\u2019t be held, how do you premiere the mainstage-tailored records you make? That question has been keeping lots of artists up at night, but Armin van Buuren and Nicky Romero<\/a> already managed to find a solution of their own. <\/span><\/p>\n

To celebrate today\u2019s release of their first-ever collaboration called \u2018I Need You To Know\u2019, the reputable Dutchmen are embracing the wonders of technological advancement to launch a never-seen-before virtual B2B set from their own respective studios. Later today, they will virtually break into each other\u2019s musical playground and start playing apart together for an iconic B2B set, which will be livestreamed on Twitch<\/span>, Facebook<\/span> and YouTube<\/span><\/a> from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. (CEST).<\/span><\/p>\n

Listen here to “I Need You To Know” by <\/a>Armin van Buuren & Nicky Romero feat. Ifimay<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The long-anticipated debut collab between the scene leaders and longtime industry friends, Armin van Buuren and Nicky Romero\u2019s \u2018I Need You To Know\u2019 radiates an insane amount of dance floor appeal. This record is everything the crowd could hope for: a majestic, high-energy song that gets the adrenaline pumping.<\/span><\/p>\n

Armin van Buuren: <\/b><\/span>\u00a0\u201cNicky Romero and I have known each other for years, so it\u2019s kind of strange that we hadn\u2019t yet made a record together until today, even though he made an amazing remix of my track \u2018Unlove You\u2019. But the long wait made it even more fun to finally work on a track together, and I\u2019m very happy with how the record turned out. I am also beyond excited to show you the unique back-2-back set we\u2019ll be doing to celebrate the release of our first-ever collab and I hope it will give everyone the energy they need to hold on until we can throw actual parties again.\u201d<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Nicky Romero: <\/b>\u201cArmin and I have been close friends for a very long time but never found the right moment to collaborate. This track started months ago, just before quarantine when we were trading ideas for a remix and the original ideas just started flowing naturally. Armin has had a huge impact on me and my musical style and it\u2019s been a lot of fun during this process. I know the fans will love it and I have the feeling this is just the first of many.\u201c<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

Armin van Buuren has been one of the world\u2019s biggest DJs and producers in electronic music for over twenty years. His life-long dedication to the scene earned him a Grammy nomination for \u2018This Is What It Feels Like\u2019 (feat. Trevor Guthrie) in 2013 and saw him release a slew of global hit singles along the way, including recent efforts such as \u2018Blah Blah Blah\u2019, \u2018Something Real\u2019, \u2018Wild Wild Son\u2019 and \u2018Therapy\u2019. Armin van Buuren was voted DJ Mag\u2019s #1 DJ in the world for an unprecedented five times, co-founded leading dance music label Armada Music, broadcasts his weekly A State Of Trance radio show to over 44 million listeners in more than 80 different countries and normally headlines over 150 shows per year at leading festivals and venues around the world. <\/span><\/p>\n

After taking the world by storm with early hits such as \u2018Legacy\u2019 (with Krewella) and #1 single \u2018I Could Be The One\u2019 (with Avicii), Nicky Romero quickly proved that his talent is ever-evolving and here to stay. After launching his Protocol Recordings imprint in 2012, the renowned performer, producer, and label head continued his personal successes with a string of high-profile releases, ranging from collabs with Mike Williams & Amba Shepherd, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike<\/a>, W&W<\/a>, DallasK & XYL\u00d8, Timmy Trumpet and Steve Aoki & Kiiara to remixes for the likes of Kygo, Rita Ora, David Guetta, Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix, Jess Glynne and more. Nicky is also the production genius behind pop hits like Rihanna\u2019s \u2018Right Now,\u2019 David Guetta\u2019s \u2018Bang My Head\u2019 ft. Sia, and Britney Spears\u2019 \u2018It Should Be Easy,\u2019 to name a few. Furthermore, Protocol has hit another significant milestone in 2020 with the 200th release, and we can’t wait to see what the rest of the year brings!<\/span><\/p>\n
