Listen to “Armin van Buuren – Breathe In” now

There’s more to breathing in than simply inhaling oxygen. Beyond the former, it’s about appreciating the moment and what’s about to happen, and about seeing the light in others. Taking a breath means accepting and respecting what’s in front of you, welcoming the outside influence and establishing a deeper connection with everything, or everyone, around you. And that’s what drives Armin van Buuren’s ninth studio album.

Inextricably linked to meditation and the major part it has come to play in Armin van Buuren’s life, ‘Breathe In’ follows on from ‘Feel Again’ to mark the next chapter in the Dutchman’s inspiring career. Across its twelve tracks, which were written in the two-plus years following the end of the pandemic and includes great songs such as ‘Forever (Stay Like This)’, ‘God Is In The Soundwaves’, ‘Love Is A Drug’, ‘Lose This Feeling’ and ‘Bed Of Rain’, the album radiates positivity, open-mindedness and unity, presenting a multidimensional snapshot of who Armin van Buuren is right now as a person and producer.

In sound, soul and spirit, the album is a celebration of life and an ode to how music and dance floors keep bringing people together. So focus on the wonder around you, inhale and let it shape a deeper understanding for one another. Just ‘Breathe In’.

Featuring a total of 29 new takes on the songs that comprise Armin van Buuren’s eighth studio album, ‘Feel Again (Remixes)’ has some of scene’s most exciting artists rekindling the audial remnants of the Dutchman’s search for harmony within.

Listen to the A State of Trance Year Mix 2023 here

Change is a double-edged sword. Though we keep pushing forward on the premise that standing still means trailing behind, we remain fearful of the unknown and how it may disrupt all we feel comfortable with. It’s the same with music. We laud artists for breaking new ground, yet we’re hesitant about accepting new styles because we’re scared it might irrevocably change the sound we love. With ‘A State of Trance Year Mix 2023’, the twentieth installment of the annual year mix series, Armin van Buuren shows that it’s not a matter of choosing between the old and the new.

With its diverse and innovative, yet legacy-upholding selection of 111 tracks, the year mix of 2023 exhibits that the future of music doesn’t demand renouncing the past. Featuring productions from the likes of Armin van Buuren, AVIRA, Bryan Kearney, Chicane, Eelke Kleijn, Ferry Corsten, Gareth Emery, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Miss Monique, Laura van Dam, Rank 1 and Ruben de Ronde, the mix album exemplifies that ingenuity doesn’t need to come at the cost of a beating heart.

Whether in music or anywhere else, technological advancement will never function without a soul like ours. And it will never be able to replicate our union in A State of Trance.
