Early Armin on Dutch radio, before ASOT, showing the melodic direction he would later champion.
This 1999 Radio 538 entry captures Armin van Buuren during a key stretch of classic trance history. Armin van Buuren emerged from the Dutch scene with a melodic, radio-friendly trance style that would later anchor A State Of Trance. Radio 538 sessions are useful archive pieces because they show how club records moved through Dutch radio before and during the explosion of trance. Kept here as a reference point for the archive, it helps show how the sound evolved in pacing, melody and club context.
