Who could have guessed, that a song created about the most retro game in existence, 'Pong', would blow up into a 2014 EDM phenomenon in its own right? What began as almost a joke, quickly caught fire in the most unexpected of ways. It all goes back to a childhood love of video games and a fascination with a little white ball bouncing around a low-res TV screen.
Ping... Pong... Ping... Pong...
When Armin van Buuren witnessed the graphical wizardry his computer-savvy tech team had created for an upcoming 'Armin Only' show, he had only one thought: What can we do, in the middle of mind-blowing 3D graphics, to set a special moment apart? He had to act fast -- which meant finishing the 'Ping Pong Song' in just two short days...
The song was, of course, never meant for release. The reaction from the crowd at Armin Only was so unexpectedly (and overwhelmingly) positive, however, that the inevitable question was raised: "Should we actually release this??"
The biggest fires start from the tiniest spark, and before long, the "Ping Pong Song" grew to become one of the most unforgettable moments of the Armin Only show - and a crew favorite. They even invented a special dance for it! With the incredibly catchy drop and hilarious visuals, fans will remember the "Ping Pong" moment of Armin Only for the rest of their lives.
This song is a strong reminder that large-venue music is, above all, a celebration. And what kind of celebration takes itself too seriously? With a barrage of smiley-face balloons dropping onto the crowd at the climax of the track, it's hard not to go absolutely mental when this ear-worm comes over the main speakers.
March 24th, 2014 will see the official release of this Armin Only gem, and don't worry -- there will be an accompanying music video before too long as well! Stay tuned, and if you're one of the lucky few, you just might be able to see this once-in-a-lifetime performance for yourself at one of Armin's next massive shows.

FIRST COMMENT!
The song is Amazing. I Like it. Playing Ping Pong...;-)
That's not music
DIEF DEXTER It has melody, aka music.
DIEF DEXTER Try to enjoy progressive music
I thought trance is crap. Now I realizes that trance with electro elements is f**** awesome!! (Electro House lover)
This one is closer to real trance than 90% of your lovely Armin's stuff.
HONESTLY LOL
4:02 love it from here onwards. Nice sound!!
Yeah!! The Acid is so Good!! 🤩🤩
"Don't be a prisoner of your own style!" - Armin van Buuren .
Im pretty sure thats the motto of Infected Mushroom as well lol
Wow, you guys complain. This isn't his typical sound. You know what? I'm happy that he decided to play around with a track like this. It shows that he's still having fun. The track was not intended for release but it had a positive reaction. Go ahead, Armin! Keep having fun with new sounds and new productions! \O/ Your true fans support you.
Oh really now?
True!! Also let the man play a game of ping pong with this one
Never gonna give up on listening to this song after so many years. It still got the vibes.
Armin played this live last night at his Intense Tour in San Jose, and I will tell you that this song was amazing live!!!
This is one of the most impressive EDM tracks I've ever heard, considering it was made in two days.
I need the Hardwell remix NOW! :)
How is this "Animals"? You guys are very into this Martin Garrix's song. Get over with it!
And it had to be said!
jajajajaja claro que no son iguales! Best Armin :D
Many people doesn't know that ''Ping Pong'' is actually Acid song (except house part)
Armin van buuren, you are an fucking god of music
No he idny
Isnt
Yes he is
And Dutch :) proud to be Dutch!!!
DBGomesTheBest das wel waar maar angerfist is ook Nederland s
Everyone just chill about the genre. If you like it, go ahead and like it, if you dont, then dont listen to it. Lets not make it more complicated than it already is.
Cannot agree more. Soooo many genre Nazis out there. You either like a track or you don't. If it's not trance it doesn't mean it's not good. Can't people just be a little bit more open-minded?
Easy & perfect
poh vale
ACID TRANCE!!
LOve the TB. This is making miss the glorious Acid techno of the 90's. Awesome.
what a track #ultralive
Armin eres el mejor Dj de trance :)
Yes, a very simple track but you must remember this was never intended for release. It was released because of high demand, because people like how it sounds, nothing more nothing less.
Holds up 100% one of the best
Ping Pong is 1 on the pH scale!
***** I literally just watched your remake 5 minutes ago, wow haha
Intense Toronto :)
This was my favorite memory from Stereosonic Sydney 2013!!
This is the best music to dance to when u are alone!! Best song ever!!!!!!!!
such an oldschool feeling to this tuneeee love it !
Armin makes bigroom, oh sh... I hope this the first and the last :)
lol this song was a joke it was not intended to be released
The second buildup at 4:03 is really good.
Sick!!!

Armin van Buuren dj #1
this song is soooo good live! thank you armin!!!!!
nagyon kiraly, meg tobb ilyet
Madagascar (Richard Durand remix) Anyone? Just a lil bit? Great tune though!
EGHGHEHEHFH. I LOVE YOU. I had totally forgotten about Richard Durand. he has to be one of my favourite trance producers. Sunhump is brilliant. Much Respect Bro. Thanks
Dan ganas de echar un partido de ping poing con la canción de fondo xD
Whouah
awesome
Am I the only one that thinks the video is hilarious...
Yup
The only one.
Imagine if Armin do House too, bye bye to all the other producers...
You should respect absolutely everyone for every piece of music he or she is making, if you personally like it or not. I dont like hater-comments or stuff like this. It's all creative work, even if it's mainstream or off-genre, just not your type or whatever you might call it. I respect Armin a lot because he is a musician with heart and soul and you can hear it in his tracks, even if this track is not one of the ones I like, it still is a piece of art and deserves every like it gets.
Please don't say that, Armin is one of the only producers really still keeping trance alive. Not that this track isn't wicked, because it is, but I'd hate to see him sell out like so many others.
ZaInT What about Above and Beyond? Sean Tyas? Cosmic Gate and Paul Van Dyk? Just to name a few ;)
ZaInT Myon & Shane 54, Omnia, Ilan Bluestone, Boomjinx, Maor Levi, Orjan Nilsen, Rank 1, ATB don't be silly.
I meant one of the OLDEST producers keeping trance alive, sorry. Also, I love all of the artists you mentioned :)
Nice track by armin!!!
Awesome track.
It's 2017 and I still remember this :D
its 2017 D:
Not really
ty ty pññkk,Ll
stereosonic 2013, this track went off
Awesome track
Perfect!!!
the 2nd drop 5:17 left me with a seizure, that was the best drop
Sounds like psytrance though
it's not really psytrance, it's acid house
ahh okay
there's no such thing as acid house, acid is only in Trance tracks, I never heard any other genre with the acid element :)
what is an acid element?
AvB's just having a bit of fun. Stop being so critical ffs!
Good I love it
so simple yet so amazing
fun tune and thats pretty much it im afraid
thats the whole point of it if you knew anything about the making of it
PhatAsseroo i know it all kid, try me
MvzZAinc wud make a nice ringtone XD XD
Then you should know that he played this in his Intense tour and the crowd went bezerk on hearing this !
Why is it that for some of you Armin is not allowed to make a progressive house song once out of the millions of trance songs he has made? Let him dabble in other genres if he wants, it seems like he's quite successful in that regard so far.
Well said. #EDMFamily
this is rave music no house
Love this song... well done AvB
heerlijke nummer!
A cool track for rocking the dancefloor and interacting with the public. Listening to it is not appropriate. Although it's nice that Armin has used classic sounds like that saw and pop-corn-like
makes me want to play atari
Dope!
Oh this sounds great.
this track is incredible. you are GOD #Arminvanbuuren
Skip to 4:03 to listen the good part of the song
Temazoooooo!!!! Ritmazo!!!
Well, The song and this melody matches so well.
dutch power
i just can't understand... yes i've 0 knowledge in trance music, than explain please... HOW CAN THIS BE TRANCE?? it's at 128 bpm and first drop is like big room house (like mystica-blasterjaxx), while second drop seems to be electro house (like dare you-cash cash remix)... isn't trance like "impulz-steve hill vs. technikal", at 145bpm, very trippy and melodic??
I would say it like this.it's not pure trance, but it have some trance elements specially the second drop.And I will Steve Hill vs Technical - Impulz consider as Hardtrance.SO what ever, time is changing and view on music genres too, like my mum will say on both that it's techno :D :D
No that is hard trance, this song is Acid Trance with progressive house elements, also nobody said this was trance, it's labeled as "progressive house" in stores. Check A State of Trance's channel for real trance or Saturate Audio.
Argree with the person above ^^^ psychedelic/acid trance....its just fucking mdmazing!
Stop labelling the music and just enjoy it
i guess just Armins signature trance sounds
Great Love it!!
love it
FINALLYYYYY!! #fmfa2014 #asot
4:04 - sounds a bit "Operation Blade" to me......
i like operation blade, i don't like this
Daniel Daaar I think I agree.
***** The trance scene is alive, you just gotta look in the right places
#aly&fila
tiesto changed, remember?
amazing
armin amazing
So many balls, my God
That's nasty
Sorry neighbours ,i'm raping the replay button .
that's foshizzle
SO GOOD¡¡¡
GREAT!!!
PING.......................................PONG
Actually its Ping....Pong Since its in 4/4 time and Ping Pong is a new measure. Also its is 128 bpm so yeah.
Bassen Brony it's 130 BPM sorry
Eh close enough to. Its not like hardstyle which is around 150 or DnB which is most of them are 88. I am a dj :P
So am I nd you're correct :p
Max Hopwood Ohhh okay
What is with that "RUBIUH"? o.O
Is a spanish youtuber who put this song in one of his videos
Nicolas S. en cual dime
TheLol vips No sé, no lo vi, supongo que alguno que ha sacado en las últimas dos semanas.
its a spanish talker youtuber
Nicolas S. Creo que sera de twitter. Si fuera en un video habria millones de comwntarios mas poniendo. Like si viniste por el rubius o de like si conocias esta cancion antes de que un (adjetivo que desee el usuario que pone el comentario) le diera a conocer
Love it!!!❤️❤️❤️
temaazoo!!!!!!
I thought it couldn't get worse than Animals. It did.
and it's getting even worse. losing the title made armin mad.
If all of you can stop complaining... Armin made this song as a joke, but people gave so much positive feedback that he decided to release it. It isn't Armin's new style, it's just a joke. So if you don't like it, stop listening to it
It's good if its a joke, but when it sounds similar to at least 2 songs, you should think whether thats a joke or not.
Henk Paulisma do you think we care? It says Armin, it's a piece of crap, bye.
I agree with you, my fellow romanian :). This song is trash.
Lol kids, you probably never heard of Acid Trance.
How is it acid trance lol
Excelente
WOW!!! SUPER!!! I LOVE IT!!!
Like si estás aquí por Bin Laden y no por el streaming de Domino´s Pizza España.
RUBIUH
Empezaron a venir las ratas
Sebastian Soraire Exáctamente jajaja
Sebastian Soraire algun problema con eso amigo?
otro mas para el grupo
Yo amo al rubius y todo pero no es necesario que lo pongas en todos lados xd
Really different yet great song by Armin really well done and creative
Love this track
