Since the first issue of the A State Of Trance compilation in 2004, nothing else heralded the biggest tunes of the year better than the annual series did and still does. And even now, in 2016, it has yet to find its match, all the while more and more people get themselves clued-up by means of the carefully selected tracklist.

Curated by long-time Trance titan and genre pioneer Armin van Buuren, ‘A State Of Trance 2016′ underlines how far it has come and how extraordinary the journey has been. No other genre in the world has remained so steadily beloved by its loyal fans, and no other compilation series has been so deeply engraved in the hearts of its fans as A State Of Trance.

As many expected beforehand, the flag-bearers of Trance are all present in this symbol of unbridled love and passion for music. Comprising no less than 39 gems as a set of awe-inspiring exclusives and well-known masterpieces alike, ‘A State Of Trance 2016′ spotlights magical creations such as Omnia – ‘Alien’, Jerome Isma-Ae & Alastor – ‘Floyd’, Estiva – ‘Power Core’, and Manse’s remix of Armin van Buuren feat. Bullysongs – ‘Freefall’ among devastating floor smashers such as Super8 & Tab – ‘Mega’, David Gravell – ‘Stay Awake’, Gaia – ‘Inyathi’, and Bryan Kearney & Christina Novelli – ‘By My Side’.

Hitting the world on the same day as the mighty, Dutch kick-start of Armin van Buuren’s ‘Embrace’ world tour, ‘A State Of Trance 2016′ brings the world what few can offer. A strong legacy, a genre-defining experience, and more than enough mind-blowing tunes to last you a lifetime.

Alexander Popov & Jonathan Mendelsohn - World Like This (Taken From ASOT 2016) [ASOT 766]

Music producer, artist, and AI developer.

All my music is open-sourced if AI was part of its creation (basically all of it now). I built my own AI pipeline to sketch ideas, create alternate versions, and develop concepts. All my newer tracks are fully reproduced, mixed, and mastered in the DAW.

None of this music would exist without AI. These tracks are demos I use to connect with artists for collaborations; I’m not distributing them or seeking profit.

I’m looking for vocalists and musicians to record human versions of these songs so we can release those versions together. If you’re interested, hit me up.

My Process:
Write & refine lyrics using AI for instant feedback→ Generate track ideas in my custom pipeline → Pick best vocal + idea → Isolate stems & transcribe MIDI → Build out missing parts → Add FX & automation → Mix & stem print → Final polish → Master.

Mastering Chain (Ableton 11):
Ozone Imager 2 → Utility (mono low-end) → Pro-Q3 / Amek EQ 250 → Elysia Alpha Mastering Compressor → Black Box HG-2MS (saturation) → Soothe2 → Gullfoss → Bettermaker EQ232P (dual mono Pultec trick for L/R fattening) → Free Clip → Pro-L2 → Insight 2 → Utility (-6 dB).

Returns:
Rev Plate 140, Vintage Verb, Shimmer, Slapback Delay, Tape Delay, Inflator-style Saturator, Saturn 2, Glue Comp (parallel).
