The story behind the AREA21 project is that two aliens (M and M) are traveling through the universe spreading good vibes and ultimately end up crash landing on Earth. Now, over five years later, the two have finally officially introduced themselves to the world with their highly anticipated album, ‘Greatest Hits Vol. A collaborative effort with his close friend and fellow songwriter Maejor, the AREA21 alias revealed a new side of Garrix by experimenting with a more hip-hop-centric sound blended with pop and EDM. It feels like just yesterday that Martin Garrix took the stage of Ultra 2016 and unveiled his newest project that would soon become known as AREA21.
