Life. It’s a gift the universe bestowed upon us, a chance to make a difference for the world to come. The road to get there may be long and wistful and paved with tears, but each passing day or breath we take is a reason to celebrate this gift and pay the kindness forward, to accept our differences and let them unite rather than divide. A State of Trance firmly believes in loving, dancing and living together under a new sun, and the nineteenth installment of Armin van Buuren’s annual year mix series puts that hope for a better future into sound: ‘A State of Trance Year Mix 2022’.
 
Just like the amassed crowd at the globally renowned A State of Trance events, the music featured in this brand-new year mix turns diversity into unity. Including a cross-genre selection of 109 tracks from staple acts such as Above & Beyond, Ahmed Helmy, Ben Hemsley, Bryan Kearney, Chicane, Ferry Corsten, Gareth Emery, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Hardwell, Kryder, Reinier Zonneveld, Richard Durand and Sneijder, the two-hour mix radiates harmony and acceptance, and extends a hand to anyone who has yet remained unseen, unheard or unloved.

Let us rejoice in each other. In the music. Under the stars. In A State of Trance.
