If much of the mindset and mantra behind Above & Beyond over the last quarter of a century has been born from the idea of connection, then their fifth artist album ‘Bigger Than All Of Us’ is best summed up in one word: reconnection. 

The depth of those intuitive reconnections, both between the three band members and with their inner circle of trusted collaborators, is evidenced in the latest single 'Start A Fire’. Originated as a deep instrumental cut from Paavo Siljamäki’s vaults, it’s a demo that he estimates is “easily seven, eight years old. Tony [McGuinness] had always said: ‘I like this...’ Then as we were entering this album process, Tony's like: ‘Hey, I've written something on this! Then everybody's going: ‘Oh my God, this is great!"

"I have a notebook that I keep for song ideas", says McGuinness. "I had this thought a few years back, 'There’s enough of you in me to start a fire' and after dwelling on it for a few months I found that it worked great over a piece of music Paavo had written. I had just that one line for years, until I went to The Gorge two years ago and one afternoon the verses came together. I was trying to do something conversational, like one of Dire Straits love songs. I think it’s ended up being one of our favourites."

“That’s been really nice for me,” continues Siljamäki, “because it's something that I completely forgot that I'd created. Then I get something fresh from Tony, and his input reignites my excitement. And then, it would have never been as good if it didn't have Richard’s new vocal.” It is, he concludes, “that thing where it's the power of a team.”

Now in its completed form, the track features Richard Bedford singing Tony McGuinness’s lyrics and melody line.

Of course, it’s not the first time Richard Bedford has teamed up with Above & Beyond on a Tony McGuinness-written song — see beloved classics “Sun & Moon”, “Thing Called Love”, and "Northern Soul", to name a few.

Debuted at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this past April, "Start A Fire” kicked off an Above & Beyond set that would become a defining moment in the ‘Bigger Than All Of Us’ campaign.

Nora En Pure - Senses of Comfort

As summer edges into full bloom, Swiss-South African artist Nora En Pure unveils her first original release since the widely celebrated ‘Memories’. Known for her ability to fuse nature-inspired elements with melodic depth, she once again delivers an evocative soundscape that reflects both the serenity of the natural world and the energy of the dancefloor. ‘Senses Of Comfort’ arrives at a moment when warmth, reflection, and reconnection feel especially vital - offering listeners a welcome pause amidst the noise. 

True to its title, ‘Senses Of Comfort’ is a radiant and soul-soothing piece, gently unfolding through a tapestry of warming chord progressions, delicate piano interludes, and soft, breathy vocals. While its emotional core remains intimate and calming, the track subtly builds with the arrival of a pulsing bass synth, adding rhythmic weight and drive. Smooth, flowing percussive breaks lead into grand, cinematic apex drops - giving the track a distinct arc that moves between stillness and release. Balancing musicality with club-ready energy, ‘Senses Of Comfort’ is both a moment of reflection and a powerful tool for the dancefloor. 

The single marks another inspired chapter in Nora En Pure’s evolving sonic journey - one that continues to captivate audiences around the world. With each release, she further refines her unique blend of organic house, classical instrumentation, and melodic precision. Her recent singles, including ‘Tranquility’ and ‘Protected’, have resonated widely across streaming platforms and live performances alike, earning acclaim for their emotional depth and technical finesse. Through her Purified brand, label, and event series, Nora remains committed to cultivating a space where nature, music, and emotional connection intersect. 

With an exciting summer ahead, Nora En Pure is set to bring her immersive sound to some of the world’s most iconic stages. Her tour includes appearances at Tomorrowland, Lollapalooza, and the UEFA Women’s EURO celebrations, alongside headline shows across Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, Canada, and Purified Prague in the Czech Republic. As she continues to connect with fans across continents, ‘Senses Of Comfort’ stands as a timely reminder of her power to move audiences - both emotionally and physically - through sound.
