Trance legend Armin van Buuren has released the twenty-first installment of his A State of Trance mix album series, following an official announcement on his radio show on May 2 and the early release of the first two mixes on May 3 and May 10. Applying the same format as last year, ‘A State of Trance 2024 (Mixed by Armin van Buuren)’ comprises three mixes, showcasing the ongoing evolution of trance music through a total of 42 tracks from the genre’s current tastemakers.
Across its three parts, the ‘A State of Trance 2024‘ mix album offers emotion, euphoria and sheer power in equal parts, providing a sonic blend sure to resonate with trance music’s loyal following.
Featuring tracks such as ‘Now Love Will Begin‘ (Armin van Buuren x HI-LO), ‘In My Mind‘ (Gabry Ponte x Giuseppe Ottaviani feat. Malou), ‘Fulfillment‘ (Ferry Corsten x Marsh) and the Agents Of Time Remix of ‘Love Is A Drug‘ (Armin van Buuren feat. Anne Gudrun), as well as premier productions from mainstays such as Above & Beyond, Ahmed Helmy, Allen Watts, Andrew Rayel, David Forbes and Matt Fax, the mix album is bound to be audial paradise for listeners the world over, whether on the beach, in the club or at a Who’s Afraid Of 138?! stage.
“I’m amazed at the quality of music being put out every year; it’s what drives me to keep compiling these albums, even after two-plus decades,” says Armin van Buuren.
“Trance music has become so widespread and compatible with other genres that I’m having both a very fun and very difficult time narrowing down the shortlist to “only” 42 tracks. That’s why I love creating these mix albums. Three hours of the best trance music, from me to you. Enjoy!”
