Here is an Armin-Only trance mix I made in preparation for Armin Van Buuren’s performance this weekend at the Palladium. Can’t wait.

Here is a mix I made last night featuring some of my favorite electronic, house, & trance songs of the summer. Enjoy!

Tracklist:

1. Allein – Pryda
2. Not Over You (Leventina Bootleg) – Gavin Degraw
3. Where Did You Go (feat. Andy Caldwell) – Morgan Page
4. The Sky (Club Mix) – Mat Zo feat. Linnea Schossow
5. Redline (No Body Instrumental Mix) – Wolfgang Gartner
6. Let It Go (Laidback Luke Remix) – Dragonette
7. Thing Called Love – Above & Beyond
8. The Ocean (Eddy Bitar Remix) – Paul Van Dyk & Arty
9. Light Years (feat. Richard Walters) – Morgan Page
10. Derby Fight (Morgan Page Bootleg) – Morgan Page vs. Nima Nesta
11. Be Still Ladi Dadi (Kaskade’s Freaks of Nature Mashup) – Kaskade vs. Steve Aoki & Tommy Trash

Fresh from Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy tour at the Shrine on Saturday, it’s only fitting that I’d post one of their most amazing songs.

There’s a thing called love that we all forget
And it’s a wasted love that we all regret
You live your life just once, so don’t forget about a thing called love 

Watch out, DJ Bean on the 1′s and 2′s. This is a mix I made of my favorite house & trance songs of this season. It features some standout tracks from Coachella, new Kaskade Mashups, Tiesto, Morgan Page, Michael Woods, Deniz Koyu, Swedish House Mafia and more. The beginning transition is messed up (didn’t realize it until it was all done) but the rest is okay. Put it on for a long drive or before your workout. Hope you like it :)

Tracklist:
1. The Chase (feat. Belle Humble) – Lazy Rich
2. Warrior (Original Mix) – Michael Woods
3. Carry Me (feat. Nadia Ali) – Morgan Page
4. Call Out Epic (Kaskade Mashup) – Kaskade vs. Sandro Silva
5. Dangerous (Deniz Koyu Remix) – James Blunt
6. Love Is Not Enough (Kaskade Remix) – Above & Beyond feat. Zoe Johnston
7. Suddenly Summer (feat. Ana Criado) – Armin Van Buuren
8. Call Me Greyhound (Kap Slap Bootleg) – Swedish House Mafia vs. Carly Rae Jepsen
9. We Own The Night (feat. Luciana) – Tiesto & Wolfgang Gartner
10. That Miami Track (Original Mix) – Tocadisco feat. Julian Smith
11. No Access (Original Mix) – Michael Woods
12. Young Blood (Tiesto & Hardwell Remix) – The Naked & Famous

I loved the original Above & Beyond version of Love Is Not Enough featuring Zoe Johnston‘s incredible voice range. A&B’s music is pretty emotional stuff so if you want a bit more upbeat version of this amazing track, I have the answer. Kaskade Remix.

Mat Zo‘s sound is super unique. I just heard his track The Sky on Above & Beyond’s Trance Around The World (aka TATW) podcast #419, and. it. blew. my. mind. The floaty vocals + upbeat bass wobble are a combination I’ve never heard before and left me mezmerized. It will be out May 14th on Anjunabeats and be sure to catch him at Electric Daisy Carnival in Vegas this June.

This is a great live set by Dash Berlin recorded for and hosted by Armin Van Buuren’s radio show/podcast, A State Of Trance. Recorded live at Ultra Music Festival this past weekend, Dash Berlin’s mix is one of few I have heard that totally revamps classic songs like “Man On The Run” and reworks them into epic mashups…or in the words of the wise old Kiwi…”Dash Ups.” This set is pure gold and if you’re into classic trance with a dash (hehe) of new house sounds then you’ll definitely dig this.

Tracklist:

 01. Dash Berlin vs. Above & Beyond ft. Richard Bedford – Thing Called Till The Sky (DashBerlintro)
02. Dash Berlin with ATB – DJ Ease My Apollo Road (Dashup)
03. Dash Berlin vs. Diddy ft. Skylar Grey – Coming Home (Dash Berlin’s Music Is Life Rework)
04. Dash Berlin & Shogun – Callisto
05. Dash Berlin with Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren vs. Shogun – Man On The Skyfire
06. Judge Jules (Marcus Schossow Remix) vs. Deadmau5 vs. Faithless – Raise Your Greater Weapon As One (Dashup)
07. Armin van Buuren ft. Sophie Ellis Bextor vs. Deadmau5 – Not Giving Up On Complicated Love (Dash Berlin 4AM Dashup)
08. Dash Berlin ft. Jonathan Mendelsohn – Better Half Of Me (Club Mix)
09. Dash Berlin ft. Band Of Horses – The Funeral (Dash Berlin Rework)
10. LTN (D-Mad Remix) vs. Sander Kleinenberg – This Is Miami vs. Ordinary People (Dashup)
11. Dash Berlin vs. Labrinth ft. Tinie Tempah – Earthquake On Mars (Dashup)
12. Dash Berlin vs. Coldplay – Ticking Clocks (Dash Berlin’s Essential ‘Warmplay’ Rework)
13. Dash Berlin ft. Emma Hewitt vs. Above & Beyond ft. Richard Bedford – Waiting To Disarm Your Sun & Moon (Dashup)

For those of you fresh off the Ultra Live Feed that still want to get your trance pants on, here is my weekend jam right now, first heard on Armin’s A State Of Trance 2012 Podcast Episode 213.

Some catchy vocal trance for your Valentine’s Day.

I’ve never been a huge trance person but A&B just blows my mind. Their music pure magic; this track is nominated for Best Dance Track in the International Dance Music Awards.
