I'm a scientist at heart, but music is the closest to thing to magic that I've found. It's been said a million times before but in the flow state you really do feel like a conduit through which the inspiration and ideas pass, rather than the source. One sound leads to the next, like there's no other choice. Like the unfurling of a fractal. My purpose is to become good enough at the craft that I hear what arises out of the ether and use the right brushes and palette as I try to capture it. 

Visionquest is a voyage through sound with no known destination. I'll try to get out of the way and let whatever is meant to happen just happen. I'm releasing one each month (two episodes to start things in motion today). I've no idea where this is going but I wanted to take everyone along for the ride. 

Come with us on a journey...

Above & Beyond, or Jono, Tony and Paavo as they are better known to their legion of fans around the world, have been at the forefront of electronic dance music for two decades. 

Founders of the iconic Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep record labels and hosts of a weekly radio show (Group Therapy Radio) that reaches millions of dance lovers every Friday, the trio have also earned two GRAMMY™️ nominations for anthems 'Northern Soul' feat. Richard Bedford and 'We're All We Need' feat. Zoë Johnston. 

Above & Beyond's enviable list of sold out shows includes headline performances at historic venues like Madison Square Garden NYC, The Hollywood Bowl, The Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall London, Red Rocks Amphitheater and record-breaking turn outs at their own festival events on LA's Huntington Beach and at The Gorge Amphitheater in Washington State.
