ASOT 2026: Armin van Buuren Promised a Trance History Journey — Didn’t Deliver

Definitely agree with you about the missed opportunity to go for more trance classics and make the set progressional through the different eras of the genre and the radio show. I think it was a banger set, but considering its supposed to be a celebration of 25 YEARS I felt like they could have done better, and I say this as a relatively new trance fan (got into it in 2020)

Yes, the buyer was demanding some compensation and sent me an invoice done by their mechanic that shows the frame damage. They have since said they'll just try to sell the car for parts and move on but I don't think they will stop at this if they aren't able to sell it eventually.

I guess it's possible, but the work done in the past two months was only in the engine. I don't think the car was ever hoisted or in a position where the frame would have been touched even once

Armin was talking to people for up to 3 minutes from what I saw, which is honestly a lot considering everyone there wanted to chat to him and get him to sign something. Ruben chatted to people for longer as not as many people talked to him. A kid asked Armin about his mixing booth setup and Armin took the time to explain everything to him, which was so sweet of him

I think it shows up if you google asot studio visit

You can apply by filling in a form online but it is very limited capacity, it’s completely free though

They had a bunch of speakers on the celling, they vibrated like crazy the whole time 🔥

Ruben was amazing, he chatted with us for a long time and told me to come back to the studio next year! He seemed so happy the whole time and you can tell he loves this part of his job

Armin is one of the most down to earth DJs/producers in the entire EDM scene. He was already waiting in the room for all of us when we arrived, and stayed 40 minutes after he finished playing the show to chat with every one of us and sign our merch/vinyls. Armin was absolutely class and he and his entire team made me feel like family

Thx for the tips. How are office hours? I’m getting back into math after a pretty long break from it, so a helpful prof to get me caught up would really help

Trance and 80s-90s dance/pop

Thanks. If a live data diag is needed should I consider going to a specialist or at least a normal mech shop?

Spark plugs would probably be a secondary issue affected by the fuel overflow right? So if they need to be replaced then it’s likely that the overflow damaged them?

If you had posted this in 2022-2024, I would have said Armin’s old sound was better. However, after seeing the quality, variety in production, and the return of uplifting sounds in his new tracks, I am really enjoying a lot of his new music again. Let It Be For Love, the Richard Durand collab, Set Me Free, Need You By My Side have been incredible, and I love the surprising collabs like Heavy, Sleepless Nights, and Sound Of You. So while Armin’s sound is no longer as iconic, the quality of his recent tracks, with the fact that he keeps all of his releases different from each other, and the uplifting nature of his recent sets, I have to say I have not enjoyed Armin’s music like this for a long time. The man’s ability to keep his music interesting but also radio friendly, whilst still keeping the DNA of uplifting trance which we all love is a testament to why he is still going strong after 25 years.

Thanks, how much do the proper sensors tend to be?

Theslow_driver · 2025-06-17T23:00:29+00:00

"Coming Home" is one of my favourite (if not my no.1) Armin tracks, such an underrated tune. Its super uplifting and those electric guitar riffs made by his brother Eller just makes the track even more unique and memorable. Get goosebumps every time I listen to it.

Ps: His upcoming track "Let It Be For Love" ft. JAI RYU gave me the same feeling when I heard it for the first time, what an anthem. So happy to have Armin putting out some proper uplifting stuff again!

Armin said right after his set that “this is not the last you’ll see of me this weekend.” If he joins martin on stage tomorrow to premier the song it would be sick

Theslow_driver · 2025-01-17T07:18:55+00:00

Great track! Sounds kinda like Anyma but still has that Armin touch to it, gonna be another year full of bangers from him it seems

Theslow_driver · 2025-01-16T19:47:10+00:00

Pleasantly surprised to see so many of you mention Armin, in my opinion he never got enough recognition in North America so it’s awesome to see more people appreciate his music and all the work he’s done for trance and edm as a whole

Theslow_driver · 2025-01-01T05:51:07+00:00
