A State of Trance 500

Defiled · 7 Feb 2011 at 20:04

The dates for this massive event are coming around very quickly - the first of which is only next month!

http://www.astateoftrance.com/a-state-of-trance-500/

I have already got a couple of tickets for the Den Bosch party Holland which is on the 9th April. Tickets are still available, I believe.

The lineup for Den Bosch looks immense, in fact probably the best line up I've seen for a Trance fan - ever:

Above & Beyond, Alex M.O.R.P.H., Aly & Fila, Andy Moor, Armin van Buuren, Arnej, Arty, Ashley Wallbridge, Bart Claessen, Ben Gold, Claudia Cazacu, Cosmic Gate, Daniel Kandi, Eco, Estiva, First State, Gareth Emery, Giuseppe Ottaviani, John O’Callaghan, Jon O’Bir, Marc Simz, Markus Schulz, Mat Zo, Max Graham, Menno de Jong, Myon & Shane 54, Ørjan Nilsen, Paul Oakenfold, Rafaël Frost, Rank 1, Robert Nickson, Roger Shah, Sean Tyas, Sied van Riel, Signum, Sophie Sugar, Tenishia, Ummet Ozcan and W&W!

I don't even know where to start with that list so I'll let it speak for itself!!

Anyway - I know there's some Trance fans on this forum so I was just wondering who else is thinking about going? Awesomeness would surely ensue if we had a mini OcUK meetup in the 'Dam, have a fat meal together and then invade the Brabanthallen for the 9 hour party!

Also, as a bonus, Luminosity is also happening in Amsterdam on the night before ASOT 500 so doing both of them is an option for the more hardcore amongst us!

I not gone to a trance event for about 10 years now... but that list includes Buuren and Oakenfold so it is instant win.

500? Wow, havent listened to trance in a fair while but 300 had some of my favourite mixes

I started listening to ASOT around the #20 mark. Then sort of fizzled out around the #200 mark

Trance had a great period between 1998 and 2002 then it just sort of faded into obscurity again.

There has been some great releases over the last 18 months I have to admit with some top producers getting recognition they deserve.

I have to confess though I listen to the Myon and Shane 54 podcast weekly and only listen to ASOT every now and then - I prefer progressive stuff whic M&S54 do very well.

Lineup for ASOT500 is looking very good though! 450 was a stonker!

Yep, I shall be listening to it all (wish I could go!)

Roger Shah will be the highlight, major fan of his stuff

Completely agree, the trance now is gash. I would say 1998-2004 though.

For all those who don't know, ASOT 500 Miami is currently 1hr 20mins into it's 12 hour LIVE broadcast if you want to tune in. Alex M.O.R.P.H. is currently at the decks.

www.di.fm/trance and
www.astateoftrance.com
are carrying live streams.

It's pretty epic so far and Twitter #asot500 is going nuts!

Listening now. In fact I just came on OCUK to see if there was a thread about this.

YOU KNOW IT!

I mean seriously, such a quality collection of amazingly mixed epic uplifting trance, with a great crowd backing it up. I've had goosegumps for the past 7 hours lol!

Helios1234 · 28 Mar 2011 at 02:43

Rammstein on ATB track list was... unexpected... I liked it though.

Looking forward to attending the Den Bosch event

I wish Bryan Kearney was playing, but alas, he is not part of the Armada troop. Meh.
