Moogwai – Viola

Armin van Buuren’s remix of “Viola” is a masterclass in early 2000s trance,melodic, driving, and emotionally charged. It takes the original’s reflective tone and injects it with pure uplift, layering shimmering synths over a rolling bassline that builds with purpose. The breakdown is haunting yet hopeful, opening up into a euphoric drop that captures the essence of the era.

This version was immortalised on Tiësto’s Magik Six: Live in Amsterdam, cementing its place in trance history. It’s the kind of track that defined a generation of club nights and still sends shivers down my spine.

This song makes me cry...Euphoria. I remember when I used to go running in the Hollywood hills in the early 2000s and at 4:41, listen to the lows ....i love this track.

Just pure audio porn from Armin Van Buuren.
Nuff said!!!

This is an incredible track, a proper ear-worm, I could hum this all day!

Violas Armin Van Buuren remix is one of the songs that really got me into Trance. Hearing this beast on Tiesto's Magik 6 CD just made me go really fall in love with the genre.

Wooow just wow. Viola is one of the best works of trance I think. The melody is extremely hypnotic and it is ever changing. But it is built over a very different sounding, repetitive layer. Together they sound very trippy. Sick, sick trip by moogwai. 4.17 throws you right into the deep space!!

Edit: oh fuck I just listened to the tektonik remix and it is also incredible!! That repetitive but hypnotic layer I said, tektonik release replaced that with a similarly trippy one. Put the main melody on it and the result is a mindfuck. Very spacey but also introspective.... There are even vocals for God's sake!

The tek^tonik 2005 remix of this track is where it's at. Too bad this artist faded into obscurity, because his small portfolio of work has some brilliant tracks that he created or remixed.

Absolute classic trance release, the Armin remix on Tiësto's Magik 6 really shows what trance is about

I just have to say that the remix of armin van buuren is POWERFUL!!!!!!THIS IS TRANCE!!!!

Great and Powerful Remix of Armin i know this in Magik Six of DJ TIësto
