Trance Around the World (often abbreviated as TATW and also known as Trance Around the World with Above and Beyond) is the title of a weekly radio show hosted by trance DJs Above & Beyond. The show takes the format of a two hour mix broadcast direct from Above & Beyond's studios in London every Friday 19:00-21:00 GMT, usually presented in a rotation mode between the three DJs in the group and includes a guest mix in the final quarter of the show, in which fellow DJs and producers are given 30 minutes of air time.. There are now approximately 30 million listeners in 35 countries who tune into the show weekly, making it one of the most listened to radio shows in the world.[1]

[edit] Broadcasting

[edit] Home Station

Anjunabeats Radio is the home station for the show. Each week's episode can be heard live and worldwide on the Anjunabeats home page and also as an on-demand stream available until the next show airs. (Fridays 19:00-21:00 GMT)

[edit] Podcast

The show debuted as a free iTunes podcast on episode #227 on 1st August 2008 (recorded live set from the Global Gathering in Russia).

(All times are localized for each region's respective time zone)

[edit] Regular features

Each broadcast features two songs selected as Web Vote Winner and Record of the Week as well as a live or prerecorded performance by a guest DJ known as the Guest Mix.

[edit] Web Vote Winner

The Web Vote Winner is voted for by listeners from a list of new songs from the previous week's show. The poll usually took place every week at the Anjunabeats Internet forum, however it has been relocated to Above & Beyond's Facebook page.

[edit] Record of the Week

The Record of the Week is selected by Above & Beyond as their personal choice of the best song in the show.

[edit] Stuck in the Box

Stuck in the Box is a random classic track that is played right before the guest mix. This was a previously retired feature that, since episode 369, was brought back as a current feature.

[edit] Guest Mix

The weekly Guest Mix features a live or prerecorded performance by a guest DJ. It is typically the final 30 minutes of the show. An extensive number of the world's most notable electronic dance DJs have appeared for this feature, including the likes of Armin van Buuren, Judge Jules, Ferry Corsten and many more.

[edit] Retired Features

Certain features that were present in the earliest episodes are no longer a part of new episodes.

[edit] Unsung Hero

Unsung Hero was a featured unsigned or demo production. This feature became unnecessary as a great deal of tracks that are now played on TATW are demo or unsigned productions. In early 2004 demos and unsigned productions and remixes were harder to come by.

[edit] Specials

Occasional episodes are specials that deviate from the standard format the show usually takes.
