Meet JODA: a fresh musical pairing with shared DNA. 

Jono Grant and Darren Tate have history. Both together and apart, they have been there, done that and bought the vintage synth gear to celebrate.

Grant is one-third of Above & Beyond who, over the course of a two-decade career, have established themselves as one of the biggest electronic groups in the world. Eight studio albums (including one as vocal trance group OceanLab and two acoustic reworks), 17 compilation albums, a film score and nearing 100 singles speak to an output as varied as it is prodigious. Their label Anjunabeats is home to a bustling community of artists with over twenty years of catalogue.

As a classically trained musician, songwriter, producer and hitmaker, Tate is an OG Top of the Pops-botherer. In the early Noughties, at the outset of his career, he appeared on the show three times, once with Angelic, his collaboration with Judge Jules and the latter’s wife, performing classic trance banger It’s My Turn, then twice under the name Jurgen Vries. The following years saw more musical adventures, more Top 40 UK hits (12 in total) and more pseudonyms, including the trance-facing DT8 Project.

In 2003, the pair managed to sync their schedules to work on a couple of tracks, 'Let The Light Shine In' and 'Nocturnal Creatures'. Clearly, there was chemistry here. But as the pair’s respective careers subsequently took them off round the world in opposite directions, reconnecting other than fleetingly was never easy.

Then in 2019 Tate returned to his trance roots and signed to Anjunabeats for his DT8 Project releases. Around the same time, Above & Beyond received an offer to score an environmental documentary, 'The Last Glaciers'.

“I'm musical, but I've never done a score before, which would be quite an undertaking. And I knew Darren was massively experienced at doing that, and I've always admired what he does in his film work. So my first thought was: why don't we do it with Darren?” 

Jono and Darren got stuck into composing together, and it became a dream project all round ­– not least because it sparked further ideas. So, JODA was born. Working in Tate’s studio in suburban north London, and A&B’s south London HQ, the pair were in a creative bubble during the early days of the pandemic. And the partnership proved fruitful.

It was as if this pair of young-minded veterans were finding themselves all over again. Aptly enough, that fed into 'We Find Ourselves', featuring Grant's own vocals.

“Darren had the idea of using the ARP Odyssey for the bass sound,” explains Grant, “and it sounds very retro. We were listening to stuff like the Drive soundtrack by Kavinsky. So the tempo of the track actually comes from that style of music. We wouldn't have ended up at 110 BPM if it wasn't for listening to that kind of music."

Watch this space for more from JODA across spring and summer 2022. 'We Find Ourselves' is out now on Anjunabeats.

Pre-save Album: anjunabeats.co/abyrduality.GCN

DUALITY: An album in two parts. 

Since day one, I have always struggled with how to present myself. Am I a dance music producer who does downtempo / experimental albums? Or is it the other way around?  My first album had a bit of both, which is why I have referred to ‘Duality’ as the true followup to ‘It’s Artificial’. Part One focuses on the downtempo side of things with hints of indie-pop, while Part Two explores my progressive and trance roots. This is by far my most raw and honest work. On June 1, we released two songs from each part: “Equal” with Asbjørn (Official), and “Midnight” with Alison May.

I did not do this album alone. These are more than just “features,” these are collaborations. Together, we have woven a massive journey that is deeply personal, and showcases our most vulnerable selves. Many of these fabulous collaborators are also LGBT+, and I am so proud to be a part of this wonderful musical family.

‘Duality Part One’ will be released on August 12th and ‘Duality Part Two’ will follow on October 28th. 

I can’t wait to celebrate ‘Duality’ around the world with you on tour. Tickets go on sale on Friday, June 3rd.

A new era begins for ALPHA 9 with 'Calling', a collaboration featuring Brazilian DJ and producer Scorz and vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Tom Bailey.

Artem Stolyarov. Whether he's ARTY or ALPHA 9, he's always been sensational. Artem first arrived on Anjuna's radar in 2010. What followed was a stellar run under his ARTY alias: 'Rush', 'Zara', 'Around The World', 'Rebound' and 'Kate' are Anjunabeats classics, and helped define the sound of the label in the early 2010s.

Artem's ALPHA 9 alias is where he has found his stride in recent years. Focusing on the progressive trance that he fell in love with as a teenager, some of Artem's standout moments as ALPHA 9 include 'Before The Dawn', 'Stellar', 'Skin', and his faithful update of Above & Beyond and Zoë Johnston’s evergreen classic ‘Good For Me’.

ALPHA 9's energetic sets have been heard at Steel Yard, Dreamstate, Electric Daisy Carnival, Tomorrowland, Ushuaïa, Amnesia Ibiza, and Creamfields, winning him millions of fans worldwide. 

To begin the next chapter in the ALPHA 9 story, Artem has enlisted two collaborators on 'Calling': Scorz and Tom Bailey.

With over 380k monthly listeners on Spotify, Scorz's melodic, upbeat tracks push musical boundaries and transcend genres. This is the Brazilian artist’s first time collaborating with ALPHA 9.

Musically speaking, there’s not much Tom Bailey can’t do. He’s a multi-instrumentalist producer, writer and performer, and a graduate of the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance. Some might recognise him from his You Tube channel – he’s the founder and creator of Tom Bailey Backing Tracks which offers backing tracks to aspiring writers, singers and jammers. Bailey has been credited on dozens of songs across multiple genres.

‘Calling’ is only the start of a whole new chapter for ALPHA 9. Expect to hear much more over the coming months, and more new material in his set at Above & Beyond's sold out Group Therapy 500 celebrations in Los Angeles. Fans can tune in to watch via Above & Beyond's Twitch and YouTube.

ALPHA 9 ‘Calling’ with Scorz feat. Tom Bailey is out on Anjunabeats.

Out now on Anjunabeats: Jordin Post feat. Dan Soleil’s ‘Deserve You’.

Jordin Post discovered his flair for music production at a young age. Dropping his first track at the age of just 15, he’s excelled since: making progressive trance as Juventa, before turning to melodic bass music as part of KUURO. Now releasing under his own name, he’s delivered multiple singles on Anjunabeats, gaining support from Above & Beyond, Lane 8, Gabriel & Dresden, Tritonal, and BBC Radio 1’s Scott Mills to name a few. Earlier this year, Jordin joined us at our takeover of Amsterdam’s Paradiso, and at our Tomorrowland stage.

Merging breakbeat with the emotional vocals of Dan Soleil, his latest single, ‘Deserve You’ was debuted as the introductory track on Anjunabeats Volume 16. 

“A man we had the pleasure of seeing on our spring excursion to Amsterdam, Jordin Post has come of age over recent years. Having soundtracked the BBC’s Euros football coverage with 2021’s ‘Azure’, he returns to the label with vocals from Dan Soleil (rather than Gary Lineker on the TV). A wonderful song about relationships and intimacy.” - Above & Beyond

The spiritual successor to 2015's 'All These Wounds', ilan Bluestone and BT join forces once again on ‘Run’, featuring vocals from Caitlin Charters.

At the forefront of progressive and trance for almost a decade, London-based ilan Bluestone made his debut on Anjunabeats in 2012. Producing high-energy trance with heart and soul, his emotional, song-drive approach to dance music has earned him eleven genre chart #1’s on Beatport and a legion of fans around the world.

With support from Pete Tong (Radio 1), Annie Nightingale (BBC R1), Charlie Hedges (BBC R1), Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, Above & Beyond and many more, he's fast becoming one of trance music’s most influential figures. Ilan's had a busy 2022: he wrapped up his 'Impulse' tour in support of his second studio album, performed a barnstorming set at Group Therapy Weekender London, and working hard on new music in between touring the globe.

BT is a producer and songwriter from the US. He’s written tracks for Tiesto, Depeche Mode, Armin Van Buuren, Sting, Madonna, Britney Spears and many more, and has an expansive release schedule of his own under his belt. He’s released on Armada, Anjunabeats, Black Hole and Colorize and collaborated with ARTY, Matt Fax, Armin Van Buuren, JES, Maor Levi and many more. 

Bluestone and BT met Caitlin Charters on Clubhouse, the voice-based app that went viral during lockdown. It’s hard to guess this is Charters’ first release – her textured voice is perfectly suited to the soaring melodies of ‘Run’. The track got its first outing on Above & Beyond's Anjunabeats Volume 16 compilation, released in July 2022.

Featured on Anjunabeats Volume 16, Anton Sonin, aka SØNIN, releases 'Waterfall' with vocalist Lewyn.

Anton cut his teeth as a producer in a studio space in Helsinki, shared with compatriots Super8 & Tab, Yotto and Supermodels From Paris. He delivered a head-turning set at Above & Beyond's Group Therapy Weekender London festival.

Anton’s latest release, ‘Waterfall’, received widespread acclaim after featuring on the Anjunabeats Volume 16 mix compilation album. 'Waterfall' features the soothing vocals of Lewyn, an artist whose tracks have been played over 150 times on SiriusXM Chill. 

“Last appearing on an Anjunabeats Volume compilation eight editions ago with the iconic ‘Black Is The New Yellow’, the resurgence of Finland’s Anton Sonin on the label has been wonderful to behold. Slotting together classic trance riffs with modern grooves is a challenge he regularly rises to, with ‘Waterfall’ featuring Dutch singer Lewyn his best to date.” - Above & Beyond

"I've had the idea of making a crossover indie pop record with modern trance production for a while, but it took me some time to find the right collaborator for it. The moment I heard Lewyn's first demo of the topline I fell in love with it, and it clicked right away how it should be produced. I'm really happy how this turned out and can't wait to play this one live for you." - SØNIN

ALPHA 9 presents new single 'Final Frontier', ahead of his debut album 'New Horizons', arriving January 13 on Anjunabeats.

Artem Stolyarov. Whether he’s ARTY or ALPHA 9, he’s always been sensational.

What followed was a stellar run under his ARTY alias: ‘Rush’, ‘Zara’, ‘Around The World’, ‘Rebound’ and ‘Kate’ are Anjunabeats classics, and helped define the sound of the label in the early 2010s.

ALPHA 9's energetic sets have been heard at Steel Yard, Dreamstate, Electric Daisy Carnival, Tomorrowland, Ushuaïa, Amnesia Ibiza, and Creamfields, winning him millions of fans worldwide. Most recently, he thrilled 22,000 fans at Above & Beyond’s sold out Group Therapy 500 celebrations in Los Angeles, where a special surprise was awaiting at the end of his performance - the announcement of his debut album as ALPHA 9, ‘New Horizons’.

Featuring fourteen tracks from across the ALPHA 9 universe, ‘New Horizons’ takes the ALPHA 9 project to soaring new heights. “This is a new chapter,” Artem says. “I’m very confident in the direction I’m taking this project. This new album is a journey through the beginning of ALPHA 9’s artistry to now.”

‘New Horizons’ has lived many lives: Artem feels this is the most honest, raw and energising music he’s created yet. “It’s called ‘New Horizons’ because it’s the journey from the first steps of ALPHA 9 to maturity,” Artem says. “This is ALPHA 9’s signature, instantly recognisable sound, but it’s also future-facing and explores new horizons.”

The opening salvo to his sensational set at Above & Beyond's Group Therapy 500, 'Final Frontier' is another enticing snippet of what's to come from 'New Horizons'.

ALPHA 9 'Final Frontier' is out now. To mark the release of ‘New Horizons’, ALPHA 9 embarks on phase one of his album tour in early 2023, tickets on sale now.
