A new chapter of A State of Trance begins. Curated and mixed by Armin van Buuren, ‘A State of Trance 2025’ delivers a trifecta of sound, guiding listeners through trance’s full spectrum—from sunlit melodies to peak-time intensity.

Across its three parts and 43 tracks, the new mix album offers the very best of modern trance, from the sea-side grooves of ‘On The Beach’—with tracks from Claptone x Chicane, OTTAGON (Giuseppe Ottaviani) and AVIRA—to the club-driven energy of ‘In The Club’ at the hands of Andrew Bayer, Ferry Corsten, Richard Durand and Gabry Ponte x Jerome Isma-Ae. With Armin van Buuren and Rob Swire’s show-stopping new collaboration and the official anthem for A State of Trance 2025, the energy reaches full throttle with ‘Who’s Afraid of 138?!’, the third mix—a no-holds-barred adrenaline rush spearheaded by Sander van Doorn, Orjan Nilsen x Mark Sixma, Oliver Heldens & Armin van Buuren and Mauro Picotto.

Packed with exclusive tracks, sought-after IDs and brand-new collaborations, ‘A State of Trance 2025’ is your soundtrack from sunrise bliss to afterhours madness.

We all feel lost and disconnected at times. It’s only human. But what if these moments of uncertainty actually guide us to brighter futures? What if the barriers that exist within us are merely the ones we created ourselves. It’s the same with music. It’s human nature to categorize the sounds we hear and label them in a way that makes sense. But these barriers too can be broken down. And they have been, in the twenty-first installment of the annual year mix series: ‘A State of Trance Year Mix 2024 (Mixed by Armin van Buuren)’.

Starting with an inspirational intro narrated by none other than Moby, this 113-track, year-culminating mix is designed to push boundaries, weaving together the sounds that share a soul. Comprising productions from scene favorites such as Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, and Ben Gold, as well as those of Ferry Corsten, KI/KI and Ben Hemsley, the year mix upholds its trance legacy whilst embracing the sounds that were once given a different label.

Don’t let the barriers dictate the limit. Lean into them till they break, for the world beyond may add some color to yours. All together, in A State of Trance.
