Armin Van Vurren

It’s the album the entire dance scene has been waiting for. After months of hard work and creativity, the number one DJ in the world delivers his fourth artist album. Armin van Buuren is proud to present to you: ‘Mirage’. Armin:”Mirage has been the biggest project I’ve ever worked on. There’s so many hours in this. Work started two years ago when I actually built a completely new studio for this project. Many new techniques were used and most of all I had so much fun creating this with the many people that are involved. It was a journey, an epic one!”

Armin van Buuren is in a position to listen to thousands of breaking records each year, featuring only the best of what comes his way on his world-renowned radio show A State of Trance. Choosing the best each week is no easy task — harder still is narrowing down the best of each month, and now, he's selected his personal favorite 20 tunes of the entirety of 2014. Distilling the absolute essence of this year's trance scene, these are the chosen 20 that made Armin's grade.

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.
