Following on from a hugely successful national tour, the world’s #1 DJ (as voted by readers of DJ Magazine) unveils his long awaited new mix release.

Armin van Buuren has managed to gather a stunning range of exclusive tracks for his award winning, annual mix compilation “A State of Trance”. “Armin van Buuren - A State of Trance 2008” is the long expected new album of the awarded sequence, which is now celebrating her lustrum with this fifth edition. Up so far, the year 2008 has undoubtedly been a great year to Armin van Buuren. Earlier this year, his album ‘Imagine’ entered the Dutch charts with a number 1 position, being the first Dutch DJ ever. Imagine’s first single ‘Going Wrong’ has become a world wide hit and also ended up a top 5 track in the Dutch charts. The DVD of the ‘Armin Only : Imagine’ concert from the sold-out Jaarbeurs in Utrecht venue recently took out the #1 position on the DVD charts for three weeks in a row. At the end of 2007 he was crowned number 1 DJ in the world by British dance magazine DJ Mag and won the Dutch ‘Buma Stemra Popprijs’. Besides that, Armin was crowned ‘Best European DJ’ at the International Dance Music Awards in Miam and once again managed to win the award for ‘Best Radio Show’ with his radio show ‘A State of Trance’.

CD1 contains the ‘On the Beach’ theme and contains tracks with catchy beats,warm vocals and delicate summer melodies, while CD2 reflects the atmosphere of an Armin performance ‘In The Club’.
