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."

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 every week at the Anjunabeats Internet forum. This is equivalent to the "Future Favourite" feature of Armin van Buuren's "A State of Trance" radio show.

Record of the Week

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

Guest Mix

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

Retired Features

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

tuck in the Box

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

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.
