Above & Beyond vs BT - Letting Go Hello (Atomabic Mashup)

“This album is us appreciating how amazing this thing we have is. The realisation of how lucky we are that we get to be part of something like this for 25 years, and to have built a community that cares for each other in the way it does. It’s not about any of us individually. When we all work together to make something happen, something bigger happens.” - Jono, Paavo and Tony – Above & Beyond. 

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. 

Introducing, then, Quicksand (Don’t Go), the new single that is, in all the right and best ways, the comeback of Above & Beyond. The lead track from a record where the power, strength, range, appeal and adaptability of the band is baked into the title: their fifth album is Bigger Than All of Us.

Debuted during the bands’ sold out global Group Therapy 600 broadcast in Mexico last October, it reunites Jono, Paavo and Tony with Zoë Johnston – partner in ‘We’re All We Need’, ‘Good For Me’ and ‘Love Is Not Enough’ among countless other favourites. 

“It's classic Zoë Johnston”, explains Above & Beyond. “We've been working with her for 22 years now, so she's a part of the band. By that token, a song with her vocals is a very reassuring thing for our audience. It says: Above & Beyond are back, in a very recognisable form.”

As Johnston puts it of her deeply personal but sublimely universal lyrics: “I think most of us can relate to that feeling of desperation and dread when it comes to losing someone we love so deeply. The despair can be massive when you’re watching the grief rattle down the track towards you for quite some time before the moment of impact actually happens. Disappearing into quicksand. It’s scary, it hurts, and it’s lonely. Hopefully a song like this one makes anyone going through the pain of a seismic loss feel a little bit less alone.”

‘Quicksand (Don’t Go) with Zoë Johnston is out now on Anjunabeats.

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. 

Following their first single, ‘Quicksand (Don’t Go)’, Above & Beyond are back with the latest chapter of their ‘Bigger Than All Of Us’ story, ‘Carry Me Home’. This latest single is the second of several contributions to the album from longtime collaborator Zoë Johnston, who has worked with the band since the 2004 classic ‘No One On Earth’. 

“I think sometimes we’re so used to carrying everything (worries, responsibilities, fears) by ourselves, that we forget how blissful it can be to have someone step in and say “let me help you”. Carry Me Home is a celebration of being seen and being loved”, Zoë Johnston explains. 

Debuted live on SiriusXM, ‘Carry Me Home’ has become a staple in recent live performances, played out to tens of thousands of fans across Ultra Music Festival and two weekends of Coachella, where the band debuted their brand-new stage production - showcasing an elevated live show experience like never before.

The band’s fifth studio album, ‘Bigger Than All Of Us’, explores the theme of reconnection – a message that will come to life on their upcoming tour, both musically and visually, through their bold new stage concept. 

“Our music has always been about togetherness, connection, and the shared emotional experience,” the band says. “This tour—and this stage—is a celebration of that feeling, brought to life in a new way.”

‘Carry Me Home’ with Zoë Johnston is out now on Anjunabeats.

Few tracks capture the indie-electronic spirit that inspires Above & Beyond quite like New Order’s iconic single from 1983: ‘Blue Monday’.
One of the most recognisable riffs in electronic music, ‘Blue Monday’ was a platinum selling record in the U.K., inspiring a generation of producers - Jono, Tony and Paavo included - with its innovative sound design.
Debuted during Above & Beyond’s sold-out show at London’s Alexandra Palace in 2013, this full-throttle remake recreates the classic riff and drums on modern hardware. Until today, it’s been a closely guarded secret, electrifying dance floors from New York’s Madison Square Garden to Glastonbury Festival. 
With Above & Beyond’s label, Anjunabeats, entering its twentieth year, the band’s audacious homage to one of club music’s biggest anthems drops today, Monday the 20th of January a.k.a. “Blue Monday”). How does it feel? Pretty good, if you ask us.

Trance fans around the world have seen Alex Sonata & TheRio grow into melodic dance music mainstays over the last several years.  Once an international collaborative act, Scotland’s Fraser Shaw and Italy’s Riccardo Derio joined forces to officially become a duo in 2020 after releasing music on labels owned and operated by the likes of Armin van Buuren, Gareth Emery, and more.

Having debuted on Anjunabeats in 2021, the duo quickly garnered support across the spectrum of today’s trance industry, and immediately became staple contributors to the sets of label heads Above & Beyond.  Off the back of performances at Group Therapy Weekender at the Gorge, Anjunabeats’ Miami Music Week pool party, and more recently, on the Anjunabeats Outdoors and After Dark tours, they were invited to compile and mix the latest installment of the Anjunabeats Worldwide series, a mix series that serves as a launchpad for the next big act in the Anjunabeats arena and the wider trance scene.  Carrying the torch passed on by the likes of ilan Bluestone, Jason Ross, Oliver Smith, Genix, and Fatum, Alex Sonata & TheRio delivered a masterclass of a mix in November of 2023.  The guys are now embarking on their landmark Anjunabeats Worldwide tour over the next 18 months, spanning North America, Europe, and beyond.
