[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 takes place at http://aboveandbeyond.nu/. This is equivalent to the Future Favourite feature of Armin van Buuren's A State of Trance radio show.

[edit] Record of the Week

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

[edit] Guest Mix

The weekly Guest Mix features a live or prerecorded performance by a guest DJ. It is typically played as the last track of the show. An extensive number the world's most notable electronic dance DJs have appeared for this feature.

[edit] Retired Features

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

[edit] Stuck in the Box

Stuck in the Box was a random classic track that would be featured once in a while.

[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.
