VARIOUS – ARMADA ACOUSTIC

Armada Music is a European label specialising in dance music, specifically of the electronic type that can blow through your eardrums more intensely than any Mediterranean island breeze. Mercifully, the Euro-powers that be there have devised a 50-track bundle of laidback, acoustic versions of their dancef loor fillers to help you rest your weary minds and feet. Some of the biggest EDM tunes of the last decade now sport a more chilled vibe here from Armin van Buuren (who kicks off the album with This Is What It Feels Like), Dash Berlin, Cosmic Gate and plenty more. Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Emma Hewitt and Kelly Llorenna also get to show-off their vocal chops. Welcome to this year’s essential “recovery record”. Deep breath… ahhhhhh.
