when it comes to a state of trance, thereÕs no desire stronger. we need it in order to make the most of life, to fill the gap that would otherwise remain unfilled. to make us want to be in that moment, to have the very essence of our existence looking for that emotion. itÕs what we live for. with Ôa state of trance 2017Õ, the titans of trance have gathered round to show us all that we envision. it is a happy place where we can celebrate music and life, chock-full with exclusive records and emotion-driven cuts from flag-bearers such as alexander popov, armin van buuren, marlo, omnia, orjan nilsen, protoculture, super8 & tab. the compilation has captured the essence of all we hold so dear, touching us in ways that makes us shine even brighter. if you are part of the movement, you will share its beliefs and swear by its ideals. yet, few words are needed to explain the feeling. one phrase says it all. i live for that energy.
