World-renowned trance stalwarts Sander van Doorn and Armin van Buuren have teamed up to release ‘Jonson’s Play’, a highly-anticipated collaboration that will set this summer’s dancefloors ablaze with infectious energy.

A rhythmic beat is introduced into the space and effortlessly aids in creating a wholly energetic buildup, complete with several following forcible bass drops. Packing quite a punch, the propelling tone eventually picks up its pace, and is paired alongside atmospherically entrancing production elements.
