ASOT 417 – Outstanding Show
We usually don’t write about individual radio shows that aren’t milestone ones (like ASOT 400 etc), particularly because there’s so many that we love. Above & Beyond’s TATW, Andy Moor’s podcast, Gareth Emery’s, PVD’s VONYC, DJ Shah’s Music for Balaeric People, Aly & Fila’s Future Sound of Egypt, and of course Armin’s ASOT… these are just a short list of radio shows; some weekly, some on a more irregular schedule, but chances are your favorite artist/DJ/producer probably has one if you look for it. Due to the large volume of radio shows, we are not able to cover all of them on a consistent basis, but we felt that this particular episode is extraordinarily outstanding. Judging by our staff’s overall reaction in addition to other opinions spread through some very credible sources, we know we are not the only ones who have noticed. So without much further ado, here is the tracklist below, so go and check out the latest episode even if you don’t normally follow ASOT or Armin and thank us later. While the DJ has a big role in track slection, mixing, and many other factors in live sets, radio shows are more traditionally used as a vehicle to display the plethora of amazing new tunes. On that note, the great nature of this episode is more a tribute to how many hot tracks are upcoming than anything else; which is good news for any EDM fan.

21. ASOT Radio Classic: Robert Gitelman – Children of The Sun
Amazing mix of starting off with some more chilled beats, moving to more balaeric and melodic pieces, and then more than an hour+ of absolutely thumping and grooving DANCE music. We simply had to add that in, because of the nature of the blog, this is exactly the kind of music that moves us and keeps us going back for more. Oh and a Gareth Emery remix of such a great classic like Sunrise at Palamos, a vintage ASOT radio classic like Children of the Sun, (which pretty much perfectly embodies what the spirit of this blog is about with hard hitting beats, amazingly addictive melody, and one of the best club rocking production tools in existence – silences) and no filler feeding tracks contribute to one of the finest regular episodes we’ve heard from Armin in a long time. Oh, and if that last amazingly long slightly run-on sentence confused you, what I’m talking about can be put succinctly into 8 words: Almost as good as Veracocha – Carte Blanche live. We don’t really provide download links for music here, but just google state of trance 417 and there are plenty of spammier sites that do. Enjoy!
