Armin van Buuren has joined forces with Lilly Palmer for a brand-new collaborative EP.
The two-track release, Ayi Giri / Dopamine Machine, arrives after their surprise back-to-back set at Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE) last year.
The project continues the strong creative chemistry the pair have built on stage.
In her remarks to Beatportal, Palmer reflected on her journey with Armada.
She described the experience as both intense and exciting.
She pointed to several key milestones along the way.
These included signing to the label, releasing her “Blah Blah Blah” remix, and performing multiple B2B sets.
Together, she said, those moments shaped a fast-moving and memorable chapter in her career.
She went on to say that the shared momentum between them naturally led to something bigger.
In her view, turning that energy into a joint EP felt especially meaningful.

The moment carried even more weight because “Ayi Giri” will also appear on her upcoming album.
For her, that connection made the release feel more personal and significant.
Meanwhile, van Buuren has maintained a busy release schedule.
The Dutch trance star Armin van Buuren continues to keep his momentum strong.
After topping last year’s DJ Mag Top 100 DJs poll, he recently unveiled his first single of the year.
The track, Sun Shines On Me, arrived via Armada Music and adds another bright entry to his catalog.
The release also features vocals from masked act Glockenbach, bringing an extra layer of intrigue to the production.
In addition, he expanded his catalog last year with his debut acoustic album, Piano.
Palmer also reached a major milestone of her own, entering DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs poll for the first time and securing the No. 57 position.
