Armin van Buuren – A State Of Trance, Ibiza 2024

As the pulsating heart of the global dance scene, Ibiza is a destination synonymous with electrifying beats, sun-drenched beaches, and unforgettable nights. Each year, Armin van Buuren’s “A State of Trance” compilation series has served as the ultimate sonic journey through the island’s vibrant rhythms, and 2024 marks a special milestone: the tenth edition of A State of Trance, Ibiza. A master of crafting musical experiences that reflect Ibiza’s energy, Armin has once again curated a triple-disc release, encapsulating the essence of the White Isle from the tranquil beachside vibes to the high-energy club scene.

The 2024 edition, much like its predecessors, is designed to immerse listeners in Ibiza’s musical soul with its three carefully curated mixes: On The Beach, In The Club, and the ever-intense Who’s Afraid of 138?!. With 42 tracks, this compilation showcases Armin van Buuren’s ability to connect with the island’s rich diversity, offering a journey through the softer, sunlit moods as well as the darker, adrenaline-filled anthems that define Ibiza’s nightlife.

Mix 1: On The Beach – A Sunset Soundtrack

The first mix, On The Beach, provides the perfect backdrop for a serene day spent on Ibiza’s iconic beaches. This is where the listener can relax into the melodic, chilled tones that reflect the tranquility of the island’s sandy shores and magical sunsets.

Opening with Armin’s own track, Es Vedrà, the mix sets the scene with atmospheric sounds that capture the island’s mysterious and calming aura. The beach-inspired mix continues with notable highlights like the Hel:sløwed Remix of Jerome Isma-Ae’s classic Hold That Sucker Down, which adds a dreamy layer to the original, and the Scorz & Sirolf collaboration Missing Piece, featuring Diandra Faye’s soulful vocals. As the mix progresses, tracks like Chris Schweizer’s Flashback and KASIA’s Drowning evoke nostalgia, perfectly blending melody and rhythm to mirror the sunset’s slow descent into night.

The mix concludes on a high with the collaborative masterpiece from Joris Voorn & AVIRA, The Orange Theme, a cinematic track that perfectly encapsulates the ethereal beauty of Ibiza’s evenings.

Mix 2: In The Club – An Electrifying Escape

As the sun sets and night falls, the vibe shifts into high gear with In The Club, where the hypnotic and high-energy beats take over. This is the moment when Ibiza truly comes alive, and Armin’s second mix reflects the pulsating heart of the island’s club scene.

The mix kicks off with Armin’s own track Love, produced in collaboration with Omnia, instantly setting a euphoric tone. Collaborations play a significant role here, with tracks like Love Is Eternity featuring Agents of Time and ORKID infusing the mix with a blend of melodic and progressive house. Other standout tracks include Matt Fax’s Axis and DIM3NSION’s United in Love, both of which capture the powerful, emotional energy that dominates Ibiza’s club nights.

Adding further energy to the mix is the Seth Hills Remix of What Took You So Long, which transforms Armin’s collaboration with Gryffin into a more driving, club-friendly track. The mix culminates with Eximinds & Norni’s Allemande, closing this chapter with a trance-heavy anthem that leaves the listener craving the next phase of the night.

Mix 3: Who’s Afraid of 138?! – Peak Time Madness

For those who crave the most intense side of trance music, Who’s Afraid of 138?! is a thrilling rollercoaster of relentless energy, showcasing the harder, faster beats that are synonymous with peak-time sets at Ibiza’s most famous venues. This mix is where Armin takes listeners on an unforgettable journey to the heart of trance’s most powerful soundscapes.

Opening with Viva l’Opera, Armin’s dramatic collaboration with Natalie Gioia, this mix immediately sets a bold and operatic tone. The energy doesn’t let up, with tracks like Asteroid & Daniel Skyver’s Forgiven and Max Graham’s Sun In the Winter (David Forbes Remix) delivering powerful melodies and bass-driven beats that define the 138 BPM genre.

Armin teams up with Vini Vici for the spine-tingling Sarabande, blending orchestral elements with high-octane psytrance beats. Mauro Picotto’s Verdi (Eftihios Remix) adds a techno-inspired twist, bringing another layer of complexity to this high-energy collection. The mix closes out with the electrifying Lilly Palmer Remix of Armin’s own hit Blah Blah Blah, and the relentless, high-octane finale Techno Is My Only Drug by David Forbes.
