[1] The site is notable for its compilation releases and interviews with artists such as Tiësto, Ferry Corsten and Armin van Buuren.
Trance.nu also hosts the "Future Favorite" segment on Armin van Buuren's radio show A State of Trance, which, internationally, attracts more than 6,000,000 listeners weekly.
[3] In the summer of 2001, trance.nu released their first community website,[4] which included guest-books, private messages and profiles, which took them closer to their goal of promoting trance music.
In 2005 Kevin Turner who had been writing for the website since 2001 became part owner along with Tommie, managing advertising and site's hosting infrastructure.
In late summer of 2007, trance.nu released their fourth reincarnation of the site with Facebook-like features such as status updates, friends and galleries.
It's been a fantastic ride which we're sure that no one will regret, we've released CDs, sailed the sevens seas on the trance.nu summer boat, we saw and helped djs rise, we've seen (and maybe helped) users fall in love and join each other in holy matrimony, we've spread trance to every corner of the world but more importantly we made friends, loads of good friend - friendships that will last for a lifetime.
We will apply a technique call sundown when shutting down the site which means that the forums have been put on read-only which the ability to log-in, sign guest books and send PMs will remain for another 2 weeks.
