During one of the legendary shows of the A State of Trance 550: Invasion tour, Armin van Buuren came up with a new statement: ‘Who’s afraid of 138?!’. Referring to the booming bass of the harder, faster and most certainly louder type of tunes in the trance, it became a slogan and motto for everyone into that sound. And for those 138 BPM hardcore trance fanatics, we’ve this powerful review of ‘We Are Not Afraid of 138’.

Two of industry’s young and upcoming talents, highly supported by Armin van Buuren and other top DJs around the world, Andrew Rayel and Alexander Bergheau are geared up to tell the world that they are not afraid of 138. We all know how talented this Moldavian guy is. But after listening to this legendary tune all we have to say is “Andrew Rayel could might as well be the new Armin”. Already burnt the floors at major festivals with his unique and mind-blowing tunes, this collaboration with Alexander Bergheau will make it evident that they are the future of the Trance World.

Initiated with the atmospheric sound and kicking in the beautiful piano riffs, it will bring you a spanking new feeling. The song gets heavier midway, making it more intense with another wonderful tune that will surely put you in a state of awesomeness, it will leave you longing for that drop in the end.  A featured production on Trance World Vol.19 mixed by Andrew Rayel, this fabulous tune will be out on Armada Music although no release date is confirmed yet.

Are YOU afraid?
