Armada Music is a Dutch record label that specializes in releasing electronic dance music, co-founded by Armin van Buuren. Armada Music is an independent record company founded in June, 2003 by Armin van Buuren, Maykel Piron, and David Lewis, whose names abbreviate to "Armada". Throughout the years, the record company has brought countless releases within the wide spectrum of electronic dance music to its fans. Armada Music is actively releasing records in trance, deep house, progressive house, techno, and even in the pop genre, making it a label that stands out from the crowd. From 2009-2013, the record label received five consecutive International Dance Music Awards for 'Best Global Dance Label'. Armada received 22 nominations at the 2014 IDMAs, winning 10, including 'Best Compilation' for ''A State of Trance''. The Academy of Electronic Music, a joint venture between Armada, Google, Point Blank, and DJ Mag, was the recipient of the 'People's Voice Award' at the 2014 Webby Awards. CEO Maykel Piron was awarded with a ‘Feather’ — a prize awarded to someone within the Dutch music industry for making an extraordinary contribution to Dutch music. Maykel Piron is the youngest person to have ever received this prestigious award. The approach to combining everything music related in one company has attracted several top names to the label, including: Aly & Fila, Andrew Rayel, Armin van Buuren, Chicane, Cosmic Gate, Dash Berlin, David Gravell, Gareth Emery, Jochen Miller, John Dahlbäck, Michael Woods, Orjan Nilsen, Third Party, W&W, and newer additions such as Husman, Pretty Pink, ANOTR, Pelari, Disfunktion, Rodg, and current electronic music revelation Lost Frequencies.
