Following a swathe of chart climbers on ASOT, MaRLo makes a storming return onto Armind with his debut original on the label – ‘Hold It Together’. Making an impressive joint venture with British singing sensation Christina Novelli, this duo have created the complete trance package filled with ethereal vocals and chords to tug at those fragile heart strings. As if that wasn’t enough, MaRLo's very own Tech Energy Remix provides the listener with a much darker, up-tempo take on an already brilliant release.

You tilt your head, open your eyes, and there, in the center of the pool, is an all but ordinary man, doing what he does best: Armin van Buuren...

The use of the word 'unforgettable' has never been more appropriate. To see Armin perform at the world-famous beach hotel and club Ushuaïa is a dream come true for so many fans around the world, consequently leading to everlasting memories. What one wouldn't do to relive those times…

That's where this double-mix compilation comes in. It holds all the highlights of Armin's 2015 summer residency at Ushuaïa, Ibiza, from brand new records such as W&W - 'The One', Protoculture - 'Southbound', and Heatbeat - 'It's Killing Me', to timeless tunes such as 'Panta Rhei' (by Armin van Buuren & Mark Sixma) and 'Café Del Mar' (by Beat Service).

Touching the darker side of Trance music with his fresh cut on the A State Of Trance imprint, ‘Ignite’ is MaRLo’s way of saying that the party will not stop. Uniting a ravaging bassline, his renowned synth work, and a swell breakdown to create an all-encompassing piece of music, you can only refer to this superb effort as cutting-edge.

Vicious, forceful, and keen on worldwide dance floor domination. MaRLo has conjured heaps of heart-wrenching singles and elation-heavy tunes before, but this one is something different entirely. Judging by the punchy kick drums, thumping bassline, and MaRLo’s distinct and pulsating Tech Energy sound, we can conclude one thing only. Welcome to the ‘Darkside’, MaRLo!

Oh, what a meteoric rise it’s been. Supported by a number of timeless, highly-acclaimed, and devastating tracks, the mysterious cloaked duo known only as ‘Gaia’ managed to convert so many of the Trance enthusiasts to their way of thinking, their way of life, and their way of music. But although such a legacy must be cherished, that doesn’t mean one cannot strengthen it any further. 

Hand-picked by Armin van Buuren himself to be the first instant gratification of his mint ‘A State Of Trance 2016’ compilation, ‘Inyathi’ leads the charge on the rest of the global crowds in an attempt to reel them in to its side with stomping beats and soul-nourishing melodies. What started with ‘4 Elements’ and saw its fire re-lit through ‘Tuvan’ picked up pace through magical creations such as ‘Empire Of Hearts’ and ‘Carnation’, only to continue the rampage through ‘Inyathi’. Expect a true dance floor stampede whenever this one hits.

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.

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.

World premiere of Cosmic Gate’s new single Edge Of Life featuring Eric Lumiere on WYM Radio episode 117! 

WYM024 Cosmic Gate & Eric Lumiere - Edge Of Life 

Cosmic Gate know that all good things come in threes… Musketeers, Wise Men, Stooges? All threes… Dimensions? Always cooler with that third one! “3” as the saying goes “is the magic number”! After ‘Falling Back’ & ‘Run Away’, Nic, Bossi & Eric Lumiere this month invoke their own rule-of-three, returning with ‘Edge Of Life’ - their (yep!) third single. 

Back in the spring, ‘am2pm’ scored Tune Of The Week & Future Favourite on ASOT, raced to over 1 million Spotify streams and shot to the #1 slot on Beatport’s trance chart. There it lodged for two straight weeks, receiving substantial DJ & radio support from Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Paul van Dyk, Markus Schulz, Ferry Corsten and others throughout. 

Now for summer, the lads are set to field their first vocal number of the year… Premiered, by Armin on ASOT771 and supported by Ferry Corsten, XXX and XXX, it’s also been praised by DJ Mag (in their 8.5/10 scoring review) as Eric’s “finest vocal to date”. For it the Californian’s dug deep and through verse & chorus, brings a cryptic reflective to ‘Edge Of Life’s theme, while Cosmic Gate’s production supplies its uplift. 

Shedding light on their new single, Nic Chagall says: “a couple of months back, Eric, Bossi and I were talking about how so many people that we admired, had been lost to the world this year. Bossi pointed out that those guys had also done a lot with their lives and really made their time count. I think that struck a major chord with us all”. 

“A couple of weeks later” Bossi continues, “Eric dropped us a line to tell us he had a new demo he wanted to share. We spotted right away that lyrically it had come about from the conversation we’d had. Nic & I were so charged, we went into the studio the next morning and started writing the music for it. ‘Edge Of Life’ was born out of that session.”
