We look back at Andrew Bayer's expansive catalogue to date through his Selected Works (2008 - 2020) compilation, out now on Anjunabeats.

Anjunabeats would not be the label it is today without Andrew Bayer. A unique artistic voice, he's been one of the most treasured members of our family ever since we signed Signalrunners' 'Aria Epica' in 2006. 

His 2011 debut album 'It's Artificial', described by Mixmag as “an incredible album of sophisticated electronica”, set the bar high. The 2013 follow-up, ‘If It Were You, We’d Never Leave’, took an even bolder creative direction, earning comparisons to DJ Shadow, Moby and Flying Lotus by XLR8R. His latest studio LP 'In My Last Life', released in 2018, drew inspiration from influences as far and wide as Kate Bush, Talk Talk, Aphex Twin and Atoms for Peace. 

GRAMMY-nominated for his work with Above & Beyond, the diversity of his production output is unrivalled. Andrew's Selected Works (2008 - 2020) compilation celebrates this. Across two mixes, you'll find 34 tracks that have defined Andrew throughout his career; spanning the intricately-constructed electronica of 'From The Earth', 'Immortal Lover' and 'Open End Resource', to explosive club tracks 'Once Lydian', 'Magitek' and 'Celestial'.

Andrew Bayer 'Selected Works' (2008 - 2020) is out now on Anjunabeats.  Andrew joins the lineup at Above & Beyond's Group Therapy Weekender festivals at The Gorge and London this summer, plus Anjunabeats' takeover of New York's Brooklyn Mirage on July 8.

At 17, Complex Theory embarked on a journey he never intended to take. In 1999, his mother gave him his first set of turntables, as an early graduation gift, what she really gave him was the gift of expression. Complex Theory aka Jonathan Reeves began DJing in Columbia, SC. His belief in DJing is, "Im always looking to take constructive criticism, and pointers from anyone. The one thing I learned early on was, if you dont listen to what people have to say, then you will get stale, lose the love, and never push harder." Keeping this in mind, Jonathan began branching out to many other clubs in Columbia, Rock Hill, and Myrtle Beach, SC. In 2003, Jonathan grew tired of the normal day to day college life and found he might be better suited for other endeavors in the US Army. "I was working full time, sitting in class, and DJing part time to stay afloat.Oh, and drinking. He enlisted, left DJing as a memory, sold his equipment, and immediately deployed to Iraq from Fort Bliss within 2 weeks of arrival as Military Police. Jonathan said "I was so lost. Here I am, just barely able to legally drink, and now I'm holding a rifle in the middle of Baghdad. I didn't know what to think, except just get home.".  In 2005, while stationed in El Paso, TX a chance meeting led Jonathan back to music. In 2005, while in a music forum, he ran into the former owner of Dust Traxx Chicago. Charles and Jonathan became close friends and encouraged Jonathan to begin DJing again with a mutual friend of his. After a 2 year break, Jonathan was once again drawn back into DJing. He began playing several different venues in El Paso, TX. He played anywhere and everywhere he could just to play. In 2006, Jonathan voluntarily deployed once again to Iraq and never touched the decks again. In 2011, after struggles from his combat experiences, a stressful job as a Recruiter, and no healthy outlets, he once again returned to music simply, as he puts it "to find the closest alternative to an adrenaline rush of combat that I get when I crush a set...except without all the explosions, rounds, and heavy ass gear..." He now resides in Columbia, SC, as a disabled combat veteran and married with his 15 year old son and 11 year old daughter...who is already getting the itch to learn. "My son, Mason, must be either standing next to me when I play at home, or directly behind me, or he's pissed...unless I drop a track he digs and then he's jamming and getting down to it..."
