long shot but...

I remember Armin playing a mashup at an ASOT live event quite a few years ago.. might have been 2016 / 2017, when Techno got quite trancey for the first time. I cannot for the life me find it. I think he played it a few times at live events. Was something with an Adam Beyer tune (might have been Adam Beyer / Ida Engberg can't remember).

Does anyone remember the set?
Thanks!

The track you are thinking of is very likely a mashup featuring Adam Beyer & Ida Engberg – Unanswered Question (specifically the Julian Jeweil Remix or Dense & Pika Remix) or Adam Beyer & Bart Skils – Your Mind, which Armin van Buuren frequently blended into his mainstage and A State of Trance (ASOT) sets during the 2016–2018 techno-trance crossover wave. [1, 2, 3]

Top Matches from that Era

• • Adam Beyer & Ida Engberg – Unanswered Question (Julian Jeweil Remix) vs. Trance Classics / Acapellas
    • Why it fits: Released on Drumcode in late 2013, Unanswered Question (Julian Jeweil Remix) became one of the earliest Drumcode tracks to cross heavily into trance sets around 2016–2017 because of its hypnotic, rolling bassline and atmospheric breakdown. Armin and other trance DJs (like Mark Sherry and John O'Callaghan) frequently layered uplifting trance vocals or synth leads over its driving groove during live ASOT sets. [1, 2]
  • Adam Beyer & Bart Skils – Your Mind (Armin van Buuren Mashups)
    • Why it fits: Debuted in late 2017 and officially released in 2018, Your Mind was the biggest techno crossover anthem of that period. Armin played it repeatedly at live ASOT events and festivals, often mashing its iconic vocal hook ("Don't ever let anybody tell you you can't do something...") with high-energy 138 BPM trance tracks. [1]
  • Armin van Buuren vs. Human Resource – Dominator (Festival / Mashup Edits)
    • Why it fits: Around ASOT 750 (2016) and ASOT 800 (2017), Armin leaned heavily into dark, acid-laced techno-trance hybrids. Tracks like his Dominator rework and mashups with Mark Sherry or Sam Paganini's "Rave" were staples of his live sets during that exact window when techno first started dominating trance mainstages. [1, 2]

(Note: While Armin and Adam Beyer famously teamed up later for official collaborations like Techno Trance in 2025, the 2016–2017 moments were strictly live DJ bootlegs and mashups
