A State of Trance 2023 - Mix 1: On the Beach (Mixed by Armin van Buuren) [Full Mix]

As some may recall, there used to be a time when trance music was stylistically boxed in. Either it fit the predominant view of high-energy uplifting to a tee, or a barrage of “this is not trance” comments would be imminent. But over time, even the most headstrong purists came to realize that trance music can’t, won’t and shouldn’t be pigeonholed. It’s about breaking the mold instead, to capture that particular feeling no matter the tempo or the sound. And that notion is echoed by the twentieth installment of his A State of Trance mix album series: ‘A State of Trance 2023 (Mixed by Armin van Buuren)’.

Brandishing tracks from artists such as Ahmed Helmy, Ben Gold, Bryan Kearney, Eelke Kleijn, Ferry Corsten, Luke Bond, Maarten de Jong and Maddix across three sides rather than the usual two, ‘A State Of Trance 2023 (Mixed by Armin van Buuren)’ shows that the essence of trance music reaches far, wide and beyond the once-imposed borders. From the slower, melodic house & techno-tinged tracks you hear on the beach to the crossbreed bangers played in the club to the highly energetic Who’s Afraid Of 138?! tunes that tears the dance floor apart, the mix album imparts that the genre’s diversity is a major strength rather than a flaw. And if we could just take that view and apply it to the grand scheme of things, the world may just become a much better place.

I've heard some of these melodies and synths a hundred times before. But again, it makes me feel great.
Unique.

[Mandy-Lane]

I came to the conclusion that there is no music better than Armins. Your music is the limit of good music. Anything else is not even close to your music

Mix 1 : On The Beach all progressive until it hits pure progressive🎹🎶🎼🔊🎧🔥🔥🔥❤️

[Jimbo]

I must admit, I've been gone from the trance scene for over a decade, but I've come back into it. And I like where it's gone. This is definitely my favorite mix album of this year, and the ones from previous years I've checked out.

KASIA Universal Nation!! Massive tune!!! 🔥🔥❤

[Rex]

Sonicvibe & Tachyean - Deep Dive uff that track! feel really old school trancy and melodic! i hope to find a extrended remix, some time in the future!

[NocturnalSessionsDJ]

Kalopsia remix is just something else! I am glad that Matt kept a great line in this classic favorite tune so, it can uplift a lot while playing in a party / club etc.

[woofer-room]

El set es muy bueno, tiene esa sensacion agradable tipica de los set trance de armin de toda la vida, esa atmosfera que te envuelve como decia otro comentario. Tal ves no sea trance puro pero es como una especie de techtrance mezclado con melodic&progressive. Al oido suena bien y es lo que importa. Saludos a todos.
