Armin van Buuren and ARGY have joined forces on their first-ever collaboration, 'Like A Child', a crossover cut pairing the trance veteran's melodic sensibility with the Greek producer's darker, driving palette. Notably, the track also features vocalist Marlo Rex, whose expressive tone threads the production.
The record premiered on the mainstage of Ultra Music Festival Miami earlier this year. Since then, it has landed across key dancefloors worldwide. Crucially, the track has received support at EDC Las Vegas, Ultra, A State of Trance, Ushuaïa Dubai and Resistance Miami.
Meanwhile, the collaboration marks a meaningful crossover moment for both artists. Armin van Buuren has built his catalogue around anthemic trance and melodic peaks. ARGY, by contrast, has become one of the faces of the modern melodic house and techno wave, with releases on labels like Afterlife. Together, the two carve a middle ground that fuses emotional depth with peak-time energy.
The vocal layer adds another dimension. Marlo Rex delivers a distinct performance that lifts the track’s melodic core. Furthermore, the contrast between her voice and the driving low end gives the production dynamic range. Still, the record plays equally well across festival mainstages and late-night club rooms.
In turn, ‘Like A Child’ lands as a standout release from both camps. The momentum from its festival premieres has already translated into global scene support. Equally, it signals further crossover potential between the trance and melodic house worlds.
Finally, ‘Like A Child’ is out now across streaming platforms. The track is set to remain a fixture of both artists’ sets through the summer festival run.
