MUMBAI: Global dance music icons Armin van Buuren and Hardwell are back together for the first time in nearly a decade with the eagerly awaited track, ‘Follow The Light’.
Following their 2015 collaboration ‘Off the Hook’, which became a global hit with over 100 million streams, the two superstars fuse their respective styles once again, blending Armin’s signature euphoric trance melodies with Hardwell’s cutting-edge big-room techno to deliver a powerful festival anthem that will undeniably thrill fans.
