"Rush Hour" is an instrumental composition by Dutch disc jockey and record producer Armin van Buuren. The song was released in the Netherlands by Armind on 25 June 2007 as the only single from van Buuren's compilation A State of Trance 2007. It was the official anthem of 2007 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in the Netherlands. It exists a version of the track starting with an introduction called "Miserere".

Critical reception

9 years after its release, Idris Jones from webmedia We Rave You affirmed that "'Rush Hour' is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive, significant and timeless Trance tracks of all time." He acclaimed "its opening atmosphere, the high tempo rhythmic percussion that underlays the rising chords set a spine tingling precedent for the remainder of the track".[2]
