They say legends remain with us even after passing away through their impact in our lives and how people immortalize them. In the commemory of 30 years since legendary race car driver Ayrton Senna passed away in the San Marino Grand Prix, many iconic DJs united to deliver the album Senna Driven to serve as tribute of the famous figure. Many artists such as Armin van Buuren, Alok, and Vintage Culture took part of this project.

The album is a 21 track long feature, which includes quotes by the amazing driver on each track. The album release coincides with the Formula 1 São Paulo Grand Prix. The late Senna won this race in 1991. The album is a compilation of Trance, Techno, and other distinctive sounds that will get you ready to compete. Other contributors include Meduza, Tchami, Ken Ishii, and Nervo.
Most recently, Armin van Buuren brought Brazilian DJ Alok onto the Tomorrowland Brasil main stage to play their track from this album together. Armin also brought one of Senna’s helmets to the stage. Armin van Buuren earned the world’s best trance DJ title in DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs poll for 2024. Brazilian DJs Alok and Vintage Culture made it to the list as well at No.4 and No.9 respectively.
Meduza took said a few words to honor the driver:
“So when the Senna family contacted us, proposing that we use one of his interviews to create a track in his honour, we agreed immediately.”

“Ayrton Senna was not just a driver. Being born in the ’80s, we had the chance to see him on the track. We remember the way he took corners differently from everyone else, and similarly, when he got out of the car, he distinguished himself from others by what he said in interviews. Despite being an extraordinary talent, he was the first to defend the weakest,” Meduza explained
Get ready for the race of your life. Senna Driven is avaiable digitally now, with a vinyl release expected in 2025.
