Armin van Buuren & Deadmau5 - ID [Preview]

Two of the biggest names in EDM have been working on an "open" collaboration through twitter. Yes, if you haven't heard yet, it's deadmau5 and Armin van Buuren. For the last month, the two producers have been passing zippyshare files of drafts of the track back and forth through the internet and this week it was officially previewed on Armin's A State of Trance radio show. The project was instigated by deadmau5, but you can definitely hear the influence of both producers on this track. This tune really turned out to be a lot different from what I thought it would be and I'm sure the end product will be even more spectacular!
 

Orjan Nilsen - Burana (Original Mix)

This has to be one of my favourite tracks off Armin's Universal Religion Chapter 6 compilation. Orjan Nilsen goes back to his classic trance style with "Burana" and this tune has been played on many different radio podcasts recently. Hope you like it!
 

Armin van Buuren feat. Ana Criado - I'll Listen (Original Mix)

While hosting the prominent A State of Trance and also able to create amazing productions, there really is nobody like Armin van Buuren. Another collaboration with Ana Criado, "I'll Listen" is released within Universal Religion Chapter 6 and will act as a follow up to "Suddenly Summer". The vocals of this track again fits in perfectly to the great melody and bass-line, hope you like it!
 

Ralphie B - Icarus (Original Mix)

This was one of the tracks that really stood out to me when I first listened to Armin's A State of Trance 2012 album. Ralph Barendse, producing under the name Ralphie B, is a name that has been around the trance scene for quite some time now. He has produced some trance classics and this track is just as equally incredible. On a side note, this track has nothing to do with Madeon's "Icarus". Enjoy!

Emma Hewitt - Colours (Cosmic Gate Remix)

A few months back, Armin van Buuren made a remix of Emma Hewitt's "Colours", and yes, it was superb. However, in my opinion, Cosmic Gate did a even better job at remixing this song. They brought out the vocals so much better than Armin did and I absolutely love the breaks and chords they used. Enjoy!

Armin van Buuren pres. Gaia - J'ai Envie de Toi

Every year, Armin van Buuren releases one or two songs under the name Gaia. It is an instrumental trance side project that he works on and the songs are often featured on the A State of Trance albums. This year, as a follow up to "Status Excessu D" from 2011, Armin produces yet another amazing trance track, "J'ai Envie de Toi". This song was first previewed on ASOT Episode 547.
