Stop for just a second. Cast aside whatever has your mind racing and close your eyes. Now picture yourself on any of the White Isle’s stunning beaches, each footstep willing the sand to tumble down over your toes as you walk along the sun-glistened waters. Beyond the sound of the waves gently lapping at the shore, the pulse of dance music grows louder. And before you know it, you’re right there dancing and living in the moment to your heart’s content. That is what you get with the tenth Ibiza-themed installment of Armin van Buuren’s esteemed mix album series: ‘A State of Trance, Ibiza 2024’.

Armin van Buuren has remained one of trance and progressive house's most successful and influential figures since the late 1990s. Establishing a cinematic sound influenced by synth pioneers like Klaus Schulze and Jean Michel Jarre, he achieved chart success with early singles like 1997's "Blue Fear" before he initiated his extensive run of mix CDs.

As some may recall, there used to be a time when trance music was stylistically boxed in. Either it fit the predominant view of high-energy uplifting to a tee, or a barrage of "this is not trance" comments would be imminent. But over time, even the most headstrong purists came to realize that trance music can't, won't and shouldn't be pigeonholed. It's about breaking the mold instead, to capture that particular feeling no matter the tempo or the sound. And that notion is echoed by the twentieth installment of his A State of Trance mix album series: 'A State of Trance 2023 (Mixed by Armin van Buuren)'.

There’s more to breathing in than simply inhaling oxygen. Beyond the former, it’s about appreciating the moment and what’s about to happen, and about seeing the light in others. Taking a breath means accepting and respecting what’s in front of you, welcoming the outside influence and establishing a deeper connection with everything, or everyone, around you. And that’s what drives Armin van Buuren’s ninth studio album.

2019, a year to never forget. Those words hold a certain truth for Armin van Buuren as well as Trance fans from all over the world. With a smashing eight-hour broadcast of A State Of Trance during Amsterdam Dance Event, a sold-out event at the Jaarbeurs in Utrecht to celebrate the 900th episode with over 35.000 people and the release of two albums from Armin van Buuren himself GAIAs Moons Of Jupiter and Balance, the year of 2019 managed to exceed all expectations. As always, the A State Of Trance Year Mix reflects the evolution of the scene and all of the exciting moments it has brought to fans worldwide. And judging by the sheer magnitude of this mix album’s tracklist, Trance music is bigger and better than ever before. And its bound to become even better with the long-awaited, highly anticipated A State Of Trance Year Mix 2019.

When it comes to A State Of Trance, there's no desire stronger. We need it in order to make the most of life, to fill the gap that would otherwise remain unfilled. To make us want to be in that moment, to have the very essence of our existence looking for that emotion. It's what we live for. With A State Of Trance 2017, the titans of trance have gathered ´round to show us all that we envision. It is a happy place where we can celebrate music and life, chock-full with exclusive records and emotion-driven cuts from flag-bearers such as Alexander Popov, Armin van Buuren, Estiva, MarLo, Omnia, Orjan Nilsen, Protoculture, Super8 & Tab. The compilation has captured the essence of all we hold so dear, touching us in ways that makes us shine even brighter. If you are part of the movement, you will share it's beliefs and swear by it's ideals. Yet, few words are needed to explain the feeling. One phrase says it all. I Live For That Energy.
