Armin van Buuren releases 'A State Of Trance' 21st edition: Listen

Armin van Buuren has released the 21st installment of 'A State Of Trance'. Stream it below.

Applying the same format as last year’s 20th edition, ‘A State of Trance 2024 (Mixed by Armin van Buuren)’ comprises three mixes with a total of 42 tracks.

As well as mainstays including Above & Beyond, Ahmed Helmy, Allen Watts, Andrew Rayel, David Forbes and Matt Fax, the latest edition of the long-running mix series features the likes of Ferry Corsten, HI-LO and Lilly Palmer. 
 
van Buuren announced the latest edition of the series via his weekly A State of Trance radio show on 2nd May, with the early release of the first two mixes on 3rd May and 1010. The final mix is released on Friday, 17th May.

In a statement, the Dutch trance heavyweight said: “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.”

“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,” he added. “That’s why I love creating these mix albums. Three hours of the best trance music, from me to you. Enjoy!”

A State Of Trance celebrated its 20th anniversary last year with a 41-track installment, as well as an exhibition at Our House Museum in Amsterdam.

Back in February, van Buuren and Hardwell teased a new trance collaboration during a b2b set.
