What is A State of Trance?
'''A State of Trance''' (often abbreviated as '''ASOT''') is the title of a radio show. It was hosted by popular trance DJ [[Armin van Buuren]]. It first aired in March 2001 on [[ID&T]] Radio. In this weekly two-hours show he plays the latest tracks. His show is made more popular by publishing the artists and track titles on [http://stage.arminvanbuuren.com/?id=38 his website] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080913082722/http://stage.arminvanbuuren.com/?id=38 |date=2008-09-13 }}. This radio-show/website combination has proven popular internationally, as fans -- while listening to the radio-show -- will converse in the website chat-rooms and forums, such as [http://www.di.fm DI.FM], over the playing tracks. When ID&T Radio changed genres in [[2004]], Armin left and took ''A State of Trance'' with him. It is now a weekly feature on Fresh FM, a Dutch radio station, and DI.FM, an online radio station.
