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. For whomever Trance music has a special place in the heart, the election of the ‘Tune Of The Year 2017’ is cause for celebration. But before that moment arrives, we need your help.

Starting today, you can cast your vote on numerous monumental Trance records and choose which track has really won you over. After the voting closes on December 18th, you only have to wait four days until the ‘Tune Of The Year 2017’ is revealed (December 21st). Be sure to check out the custom-made Tune Of The Year playlist on Spotify in the meantime and don’t forget to vote. Good luck!

Though the origin of Trance music lies back in the late eighties, there are still tons of Trance fans out there who’ve been enchanted by the early days of the genre. They are the same people who’d lose themselves completely in their all-time favorite Trance tune and would give anything to hear an all-classics live set. Today, their hearts may have skipped a beat or two as Armin van Buuren released the twelfth installment of his ‘A State Of Trance Classics’ series.

Stacked full of seminal records from the likes of Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, ATB, Chicane, Cosmic Gate, Gareth Emery, Markus Schulz, Paul van Dyk, Signum, Super8 & Tab and more, ‘A State Of Trance Classics, Vol 12’ turns any moment into a trip down memory lane. Featuring a grand total of 36 classics in their extended, unmixed forms as well as an opening track that pays tribute to the pioneering efforts of the late Robert Miles, it stirs the embers of the near-ancient crowd favorites and allows them to entrance the world in the same manner they did years back. For anyone who looks back on the early years of Trance with a smile brighter than the sun, ‘A State Of Trance Classics, Vol.12’ is a must-have.
