Year: 2017

on by

Anticipated since Armin van Buuren himself announced its forthcoming arrival during the 14-hour-long, ADE special of A State of Trance (episode 836), the anthem for the A State Of Trance 850 world tour is finally here. This year’s theme and mission: ‘Be In The Moment’.

The sonic embodiment of ASOT 850’s empowering message, ‘Be In the Moment’ was premiered at Ultra Mexico by Armin van Buuren himself and sees the electronic music icon conjure up a Trance-flavored dream world no fan can resist. Spiked with intense atmospheres and stellar builds, this record captures the very essence of what Trance fans so desire: to ‘Be In the Moment’ and embrace the music, here and now.

The release of this scorching anthem follows the unveiling of the first part of the line-up for A State Of Trance 850 in Utrecht, the Netherlands. On February 17th, 2018, Armin van Buuren, Ben Nicky, Bryan Kearney, Davey Asprey, David Gravell, ilan Bluestone, John O’Callaghan, Jorn van Deynhoven, Purple Haze and Scott Bond take center stage at the biggest Trance event of the year, joined by other highly acclaimed artists that will be unveiled next week through phase 2 of the line-up. All of these artists’ signature sounds will no doubt provide fans with unforgettable memories and so will Armin van Buuren’s stadium-wrecking anthem. After all, who wouldn’t want to be ‘Be In The Moment’ when this event hits.

Armin’s past week may not have been full of wild parties and crazy gigs, but it sure was memorable. He spent the weekend in Sweden with his friends, learning all about how to cook barbeque style alongside fishing trips and games of beer pong. But it wouldn’t be Armin if he didn’t go straight down to business afterwards, welcoming Marco V, Ruslan Rodrigues and Roman Messer for another sublime episode of A State Of Trance.  Watch it all in his new vlog.

That wonderful moment is upon us once again. The one we’ve been anticipating since the end of last year and the one we’ve highlighted on our calendars about a dozen times, just to show how much it means to us.

We’d have loved to turn the ASOT radio studio into a haunted, one-room mansion, but frankly, the thought of scrubbing the fake blood off the white walls and equipment knocked some sense into us. Instead, we chose to instill fear in you, our fans, by drafting up a lovely, Halloween-themed Who’s Afraid Of 138?! playlist. Don’t worry. It may suck you in its dark abyss, but you’ll eventually crawl your way out to live life again. Well…maybe.
