We all encounter moments that challenge who we are and who we might become. We stumble, we doubt, we fall – but within those moments lies the spark of transformation. It isn’t just change. It’s courage. It’s fire. And that same bravery is at the core of the twenty-second instalment of Armin van Buuren’s annual year mix series.

Opening with a powerful narration that sets the stage for transformation, this 113-track journey takes you through the sounds that breathe courage, reinvention, and unshakable energy. From uplifting anthems and emotive vocal tracks to driving, boundary-pushing tech-trance, the mix features productions from Armin van Buuren, Adam Beyer, KI/KI, Ferry Corsten, Joris Voorn, Hardwell, Svenson & Gielen, Hannah Laing, Factor B, Mauro Picotto, and others.

Collaborations with artists such as Bon Jovi, Martin Garrix, Sam Gray, and Malou highlight the spirit of connection and reinvention, while tracks such as ”Set Me Free (Rising Star Remix)”, ”Put Your Bassline”, ”Holding The Light”, ”Marama (Moon & Stars)”, and ”Missing Part Of Me” demonstrate the power to transform moments into memories.

Whether through soaring melodies or relentless grooves, this mix invites you to take the leap, embrace the unknown, and let the music guide your own transformation. All together, in A State of Trance.
A State Of Trance Year Mix 2025 is available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on black vinyl and includes an insert with liner notes by Armin van Buuren.
