It was truly special to be part of this set, and I feel incredibly lucky to have been there in the studio, standing right next to Armin while he was playing. ❤️ Watching this back now brings all those emotions and memories right back.
Armin, your music has always been much more than just music to me. Over the years, it has been there through so many different moments of my life — bringing energy, emotion, memories, and sometimes simply making a difficult day feel a little better.
I have always admired you as an artist and considered you one of the greatest DJs in the world, but after having the chance to meet you personally at the studio, my respect for you became even greater. Talking to you, seeing how friendly, humble and genuine you are, and having you sign my Mirage vinyl are memories I will never forget.
Sometimes meeting someone you have admired for years can change the way you see them. In my case, meeting the person behind the music made me appreciate the music even more. ❤️
Thank you for all the years of music, for the memories you have created for millions of people around the world, and for continuing to share your passion with us. My heart has truly found a home in your music, and now I have a memory connected to it that I will carry with me forever.
Thank you, Armin, for this unforgettable experience. I hope our paths cross again someday. ❤️🙏

Another great journey with A State of Trance. 🎶🔥
This is why trance never gets old — the melodies, the energy and that feeling you simply can’t replace. Episode 1296 sounds fantastic! 🙌

Every so often Armin reminds everyone he's the GOAT with these unfiltered sets

Armin looks happiest performing Unfiltered.

Been trancing out hardcore since 1998. Love these Unfiltered sets as it allows Armin to bring us older listeners back to the roots of trance. It brings me back to the underground raves in Oakland and SF!

Every single UNFILTERED set has been amazing, thank you Armin.

I honestly don’t have the words to express what I’m feeling, other than a huge thank you.

Thank you for making us feel emotions like these.
Thank you for being a true master of music.
Thank you for making us forget about our everyday lives and taking us away from this world, which feels so complicated at times.

This episode is simply perfect.
An incredible journey, completely out of time.

Thank you. ❤️

Armin behind the decks, me right there in front of him, and the real Trance music between us. I still can’t believe I lived this moment. This place is my home. This is where I belong. Being surrounded by the ASOT family, all feeling the same music, dancing, smiling and completely losing ourselves in the rave… there is no feeling like it.❤❤

Life simply changed forever for the better since Armin started these unfiltered episodes 🙌🚀

Armin is speaking through unfiltered music 💛🧡❤️🙌🙌🙌
