It is not an album and it is not a song, it is definitely not a performer. But it is like a religion for all trance and house fans around the globe who are eager to hear their favourite performers in amazing new compilations and only…on the radio. Yes, AST is a radio broadcasted showthe with a fenomenal success among young people and all those party addicts that enjoy the music everywhere they hear it. An idea of broadcasting the best tracks from the week in a fascinating compilation turned out to be more successful and loved than many of the albums released by the famous DJs.

The idea for creating a house and trance radio show is not a new one, but the actual funding of it is about as popular as sclerotherapy -it has been supposed and tried out by many famous performers and producers but it was not until 2001 when that idea materialised in a completely perfect broadcast production. The top DJ in the genre Armin Van Buuren, started the production in the Ntherlands and it spread among the globe with fenomenal speed. Every week, for two hours, the famous DJ presents compilations of the best best tracks from the past week as well as many new hits that have already been released or have just come up before the audience.

The creator of the project, Armin working with the cooperation of Armada producers, has already released 466 episodes of the show thus making it one of the most influential products from the house music industry. It is important to note that it has also been stage for many new performers who want to start off their own careers -Armin usually announces the less famous in order to present them. This increases the awareness of fans and gives a chance for many young and talanted people to start on their own and gain the fans love.

Currently broadcasted on every continent and in almost every country with a house music trend rapidly expanding, AST is one of the productions that still remain the determinitive factors in the house and trance music!
