The next chapter of Sunny Lax's storied career begins with his 'Emerald EP', out now on Anjunabeats.

One of our most beloved artists, Levente Márton, aka Sunny Lax, has been part of our family since 'P.U.M.A / Cassiopeia' in 2006. “Back in those days you had to send CDs to labels in the post,” Márton says. “I sent ‘Cassiopeia’ and ‘P.U.M.A’ to nine or ten different labels, and Anjuna loved them.” Above & Beyond played ‘P.U.M.A’ four times in a row on their Trance Around The World radio show, and Armin van Buuren subsequently made ‘P.U.M.A’ the Record Of The Week and featured it on his ASOT Yearmix Album in 2005. A star was born.

Since then, Sunny Lax has grown and flourished alongside Anjunabeats. “Back then I produced 140BPM uplifting trance, and we did that together for six years,” Levente says. “But then everything started changing around 2011.” Spearheaded by Above & Beyond, ilan Bluestone, Oliver Smith and Sunny, a cleaner, more progressive trance sound emerged.

Many of Sunny Lax's productions in this era drove the 'trance 2.0' sound forward. 2015’s 'Enceladus' is a fine example. “That’s still my most popular track,” he says. “So many big artists played it at huge events.” The success of ‘Enceladus’ was unplanned. Levente remembers messing around in his studio, relaxed, happy and with no intention of producing a hit. “Sometimes when you’re in that state something pure and effortless comes out,” he says. Its place in Anjuna legend was cemented by Sunny dropping 'Enceladus' to 20,000 fans at Above & Beyond's ABGT250 celebrations at the Gorge, alongside fellow Anjunabeats stalwart and good friend Genix.

In recent years, Sunny's trademark melodic trance sound has been a cornerstone of Anjunabeats' release schedule: highlights include 'Solar Plexus', 'Losing It', 'V.I.B.E.' and 2020's 'End Of Our Time EP'. He's headlined shows across the globe and has been a regular guest at Anjunabeats' label showcases, plus recently supporting Above & Beyond on their Anjunafamily Reunion Tour and at their Group Therapy Weekender London festival.

The 'Emerald EP' marks the start of an exciting new chapter for Sunny Lax - featuring three tracks that Sunny has been extensively roadtesting on tour, 'Ayahuasca', 'Emerald' and 'Dance With Me'.

"The past few years were a rollercoaster for many of us, with all its difficulties and beauties. In these times as an artist I had the chance to slow down and pay a little more attention to my inner voice. When the world was a little too mad around me, I escaped into the music - into the heartwarming melodies, and when the world became too quiet, I filled it up with loud rhythms.

The 'Emerald EP' is a first chapter of something new. This is a journey which I hope will bring you inspiration, balance, wisdom, and patience! This journey always reminds me of one thought: anything happens in our world, good or bad: it's all about the perspective - which can give us better understanding. Hope you enjoy the ride!" - Sunny Lax

Stay tuned for more from Sunny Lax on Anjunabeats over the coming months. The 'Emerald EP' is out now.

Westlake makes their dance music debut with a favorite from Adrenalin Room Chapter One, titled "Petra". Embodying the concept of a fantasy world, "Petra" is a true progressive trance gem, filled with glistening piano, soothing pads and perfect vocal lines on top. Its slap bass build makes it a dance floor monster, while its tasteful chord drop will leave the audience with arms in the air. Westlake deservingly has the honor as the first release after our compilation, and with just one listen, you'll see why!

We've had our eyes on Kolonie for a while now, and are extremely excited to welcome the fast rising UK duo with their Avanti-debut Olympus - a track as godlike as the title suggests! A rolling bassline, atmospheric vocal chops and huge stab synths make up this textbook example of a progressive, feel-good Avanti banger!

International DJ and producer, host of Progressions Radio and seasonal resident of Monstercat Silk Showcase. Producing music since 2012, his goal and dream was to be able to showcase the music he loves to the people in the clubs and that dream materialized in 2014 during his DJ debut during JOOF Editions in Warsaw, Poland alongside John 00 Fleming. Since then, Dozens of original productions and remixes under Polish artist belt both supported by wide variety of DJs around the globe (including Above & Beyond's Group Therapy, Markus Schulz's Global DJ Broadcast or Paul van Dyk's Vonyc Sessions to name a few) and regularly charting on Beatport Trance and Progressive House combined with an own style of building up, storytelling and creating a special kind of emotional connection with clubbers when behind the decks have brought him to play at some iconic festivals and venues like Luminosity Beach Festival, Amsterdam Dance Event, Summerlake Festival, club Progresja in Warsaw, club Panama in Amsterdam as well as to take over the guest mix duties on some famous trance radio shows like John 00 Fleming's Global Trance Grooves (2016) and Jaytech's Jaytech Music Podcast (2018). 2017 and 2018 saw him as the finalist in the DJ competitions organised by well renowned electronic dance music brands: first Tomorrowland and then Anjunabeats, adding an appearance in Pure Trance Radio 100 celebrations and Pure Trance 6 compilation with his own "Why We Fall" to the list of his career highlights. 
The expectations for 2019 were set high and continued studio work along with DJ skills and #progressionsfamily community building resulted in 4th appearance at Luminosity Beach Festival followed by first ever meet up with a broader group of people sharing the same passion for the sounds of progressions after his set. Few months after this, the DJ from Krakow marked an impressive appearance on the milestone Pure Trance Radio 200 Expanded, inviting listeners to take a deep dive into his carefully crafted and flawless 4-hour set which followed the main event hosted by Solarstone in the famous ASOT studio in Amsterdam. Adding remix of the legendary Airwave & Armin van Buuren's track "Sunspot" (Bonzai Progressive), a critically acclaimed vocal track with Sweden's own Linnea Schossow "Cast A Spell On Me" (Elliptical Sun Recordings) which received 300+ entries in the remix contest hosted by the label and the artists themselves and making a debut on Colorize with an equally impressive contributions to a brand new compilation series called "Colorscapes Vol. 01" amongst many other highlights, Andromedha managed to keep the momentum from previous years going. Speaking of momentum, since 2016, he also appeared on every milestone Silk Music Showcase and Only Silk compilation becoming one of the core artists of the label that keeps defining intelligent and emotional electronic music. 
Despite the global domination of streaming platforms in the world of electronic music, Andromedha's tracks have been also released on CDs and vinyls which proves that hard work and consistency pay off. Not only his productions have been signed by some of the finest trance labels of now - Solarstone's Pure Trance, Aly & Fila's Future Sound of Egypt, Colorize (Enhanced Music) or Silk Music - but they have also caught attention of the people behind legendary imprints with 20+ years of history like Bonzai Progressive, JOOF Recordings and Planet Love Records, adding up to an impressive catalogue of the Krakow-based DJ and producer.
