Anjunabeats is proud to present part one of ‘Duality’, the stunning new double album from Andrew Bayer. ‘Duality pt. 1’ is out now, with pt. 2 following on October 28.


Enigma, polymath, visionary, DJ, producer, musician, artist: Andrew Bayer has been a cornerstone of Anjuna for over a decade. He's been responsible for the most experimental and ambitious artist albums on Anjunabeats. His 2011 debut ‘It’s Artificial’ merged glitch-hop, electronica and prog house, while on 2013’s ‘If It Were You, We’d Never Leave’ he pushed the envelope further with a critically-acclaimed journey of electronica and sunny, instrumental hip-hop. 2018's ‘In My Last Life’ wove the emotive songwriting of Ane Brun and Alison May into a modern alt-pop masterpiece.


In amongst this, Andrew has knocked out countless cutting-edge trance bangers to power his famed DJ sets – 'Super Human' (with Asbjørn), 'Magitek', 'Once Lydian', 'The District'... the list goes on. Respected as a true visionary and a headline talent within the trance world, as well as one of its only openly proud and vocal LGBTQ+ acts, his DJ sound has energised Ultra Music Festival, Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy (including a Madison Square Garden show), ASOT, Creamfields and clubs across the world.


A two-part album project, ‘Duality’ combines these two separate musical threads for the first time. ‘Duality’ pt. 1 explores Bayer’s passion for downtempo and indie-pop, while ‘Duality’ pt. 2 takes on his forward-thinking trance and progressive sound.


Crafted over three years, Bayer is joined by an eclectic cast of collaborators old and new. Drawing on electronic pop, indie songwriting and modern classical, ‘Duality pt. 1’ opens with ‘No Silence’ featuring songwriting from cult Icelandic band Vök.


One of many LGBTQ+ collaborators across the project, Danish singer-songwriter Asbjørn brings his technicolour style to two twisted pop masterpieces in the brilliant ‘American Boy’ and the dramatic, string-laded epic ‘Equal’ - which closes 'Duality pt. 1’.


Leading up to it is ‘Under Pressure’ with Anjunadeep’s rising star OLAN and ‘Matriarch’ with new talents Red Dragons, while ‘4/15/10 11:15AM - Volcano’ and ‘Thank You For Being With Us’ provide moments of instrumental reflection, reminiscent of Andrew’s breakthrough 2013 LP ‘If It Were You, We’d Never Leave’.


“‘Duality (Part 1)’ explores the “home listening” electronic music that I have always focused on for my previous albums, but with a twist. I wanted to merge classic trance sounds with indie pop, which really linked both parts of ‘Duality’”. - Andrew Bayer


Andrew Bayer’s ‘Duality’ is available to pre-order on triple gatefold vinyl via the Anjuna Music Store. Alongside a long-awaited UK appearance at Group Therapy Weekender London, Andrew once again joins Above & Beyond at their Group Therapy milestone celebrations, as they mark 500 episodes of their long-running radio show in Los Angeles in October. 


As part of the festivities, Andrew also hosts a special ‘Duality’ pre-party at Academy, Los Angeles on October 14, with special guests Naz, OLAN and Fatum - for more info, visit ABGT500.live

Release Date: 1st July 2022

Andrew Bayer releases the third single taken from his upcoming double album ‘Duality’ on Anjunabeats, ‘Chaos’ with Run Rivers.

Taken from the more downtempo ‘‘Duality’ Part 1, ‘Chaos’ is the epitome of Andrew Bayer’s leftfield experimental side. Featuring UK singer-songwriter Run Rivers, who has previously worked with DJ Shadow and Tinlicker, ‘Chaos’ is a nod to Andrew Bayer’s musical roots with a healthy injection of Talking Heads-esque energy.

Two musical threads weave through the collected works of Andrew Bayer. One thread gave us the downtempo masterclass of 2013’s ‘If It Were You We’d Never Leave’ and the brilliant 'In My Last Life' LP. The other thread produced arena-sized anthems like 2014’s ‘Once Lydian’, his epic 'Super Human' with Asbjørn, and the club remix project 'In My Next Life'.

‘Duality’ brings these two creative threads together under one album for the first time since his debut album 'It's Artificial'.

“Since day one, I have always struggled with how to present myself. I love making these experimental home-listening albums of electronica and indie sounds, but I also love DJing and making trance bangers. On my last album, I had to remix the album in full after it was released to make the worlds fit. This time around I wanted to capture all the breadth, depth, and tension within that duality under one single project” - Andrew Bayer

Crafted over three years, ‘Duality’ features an eclectic cast of collaborators old and new. ‘Duality’ pt. 1 explores Bayer’s passion for downtempo and indie-pop, while ‘Duality’ pt. 2 takes on his forward-thinking trance and progressive sound. 

“‘Duality’ is the true follow-up to my first album ‘It’s Artificial’. It is by far my most raw and honest work, and I can’t wait to celebrate the album around the world with you all on tour” - Andrew Bayer

‘Duality’ pt. 1 lands on August 12, with pt. 2 following on October 28. Pre-order now via the Anjuna Music Store.

Out now on Anjunabeats: Alex Sonata & TheRio’s 'Breath Of The Wild'. 

Hailing from Scotland and Italy, Fraser Shaw and Riccardo Derio, known by their stage name Alex Sonata & TheRio, have rapidly ascended in the global trance scene. The duo have been collaborating since 2018, garnering praise from the likes of Gareth Emery, Cosmic Gate and Armin Van Buuren. After many collaborations, the pairing made it official in 2020, and Alex Sonata & TheRio was born.

Their last release on Anjunabeats, 'Cala Luna', skyrocketed to #3 on Beatport Top Trance and gained support from Above & Beyond, Ferry Corsten, Ben Malone, Genix, Fatum, Amy Wiles, and many more tastemakers worldwide. Their latest single is ‘Breath Of The Wild’ – inspired by the eponymous entry in The Legend of Zelda video game series, the track was selected by Above & Beyond for their Anjunabeats Volume 16 compilation, released in July 2022.

"The go-to guys for our DJ sets of late, Alex Sonata & TheRio have been a huge addition to our Anjuna roster. Capturing the Anjuna sound with a progressive techno twist, it’s vibrant, melodic and euphoric. ‘Breath Of The Wild’ reminds us of halcyon days on the White Isle, those classic trance chords shining brightly." - Above & Beyond

Following appearances at the official Group Therapy 450 warm-up and afterparties plus our Night Tales London residency, the pair dropped a livestreamed DJ set from Porto Flavia, Italy, in June 2022, which has attracted over 16,000 views and counting. 

Alex Sonata & TheRio are set to take our stage at Creamfields by storm on August 27, and we’re equally excited to see them behind the decks at Group Therapy Weekender London on September 10. Alex Sonata & The Rio 'Breath Of The Wild' is out now on Anjunabeats.

Oliver Smith, Anjunabeats' first signing and one of our label's oldest and dearest friends, presents new single 'Make Me Feel'.

One of two Oliver Smith productions featured on Anjunabeats Volume 16, 'Make Me Feel' is a rapturous club cut from one of the label's best-loved names. It was met with the roaring support of 22,000 people in Oli's set at Group Therapy Weekender at The Gorge, and has been extensively road-tested by Oli across his busy summer of touring.

"The answer to our favourite Anjuna pub quiz question: ‘who outside of Above & Beyond has appeared on every Volume compilation’. As with the best Oli beats, the charm is in the simplicity. It's feel good music that can’t help but put a smile on your face." - Above & Beyond

In 2018, he mixed the Anjunabeats Worldwide 08 compilation; featuring ten of his own tracks, it reached the #1 spot on the iTunes dance chart in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and more. Oli's recent outings 'Borderline', 'Be Alone' and 'Warehouse' have both amassed millions of streams, with the latter becoming this humble hitmaker's best performing track on streaming to date. 

Catch Oliver Smith at Above & Beyond's supersized Group Therapy Weekender London festival, set to take place at a brand new open air venue in the heart of East London on September 10/11. He'll also be taking us into the early hours at Anjunabeats Los Angeles on October 15, alongside Mat Zo, SunrYse and more artists TBA.

Out now on Anjunabeats: Vintage & Morelli and Anthony Nikita’s ‘Crossroads / Terra Nuova’. 

An established figure in the world of progressive house and trance, our Anjunafamily will remember Serbian producer Marko Cubric, aka Vintage & Morelli, from 2015’s ‘Contrasts’. A standout moment from Anjunabeats Volume 12, ‘Contrasts’ became a classic addition to our catalogue, and received a spin by Above & Beyond in their four-hour Group Therapy 400 livestream back in September 2020.

Seven years later and Marko is back, with ‘Crossroads / Terra Nuova’ - the latter track being a collaboration with label debutant Anthony Nikita. 

“Marko Cubric’s contribution to Volume 12, ‘Contrasts,’ remains a stand out from that mix. A couple of artist albums later and he’s back in the Anjunafamily, with a typically groovy number. ‘Crossroads’ is his most techno-infused outing to date, and one we’re looking forward to spinning on the road.” - Above & Beyond

Work on ‘Terra Nuova’ began in 2019, as Marko and Anthony explain: "We were driving around NYC in Anthony's car as he played the demo he was working on. I heard the vocal riff and the beautiful piano chords and instantly got an idea of what the track should sound like… sadly, I had to put the track on the backburner as I was working on my third artist album and got busy with other projects. Fast forward two years: I sat down, wrote the track, and ‘Voila’, we got Terra Nuova, which is this gorgeous, emotional dancefloor killer.” - Marko

"Marko and I have been the closest of friends despite the distance between NYC and Belgrade. ‘Terra Nuova’ is a simple story of how even when the world around us changed and restricted our ability to travel, inspiration and friendship still prevailed." - Anthony

Andrew Bayer releases double A-side 'What Is Real (with Vök) / If You Loop It, They Will Come', lifted from part two of his double album 'Duality'.

A two-part album project, ‘Duality’ began as a homage to Andrew's debut album, 'It's Artificial'. Crafted over three years, ‘Duality pt. 1' explores Bayer’s passion for downtempo and indie-pop, while ‘Duality pt. 2' takes on his forward-thinking trance and progressive sound.

‘Duality pt. 1' was released on August 12 via Anjunabeats. Met with acclaim from fans and supported by Sirius XM's Diplo and Liquid Todd, it featured collaborations with OLAN, Run Rivers, Asbjørn, MOR, Dave Thomas Junior and more.

On ‘Duality pt. 2’, Andrew takes the energy and BPM up a gear with ten tracks of cutting-edge club sounds - avant-garde sensibilities, aimed straight at the dancefloor.

"With ‘Duality pt. 2’, I intended to make a dance album that feels timeless, forward-thinking, and personal. So many dance records have lost a sense of dynamics both in their mixes and arrangements. Every track is littered with classic synths, and experimental sound design" - Andrew Bayer

Road tested on the 'Duality' tour and Andrew's performances at The Gorge and Brooklyn Mirage, 'What Is Real (with Vök) / If You Loop It, They Will Come' offer a tantalising preview of what's to come from 'Duality pt. 2’, out October 28.

"'What Is Real' and 'If You Loop It, They Will Come' highlight an important pairing of my club sound. 'What Is Real' tells the story of struggling with treating depression, and the side effects it brings. 'If You Loop It, They Will Come' is the response to being stuck in the eternal loop of knowing what is real and what isn’t. It snaps us back into a focused reality with a chorus of analog synths from the 70’s and 80’s, with a faint vocal sample repeating “it’s gonna be the same”. Accepting the fact that I always have and always will struggle with mental health issues was a big part of the acceptance I had to face while working on 'Duality'. It is part of my story, and part of many stories shared in our community." - Andrew Bayer

Andrew Bayer’s ‘Duality’ is available to pre-order on triple gatefold vinyl via the Anjuna Music Store. Alongside a long-awaited UK appearance at Group Therapy Weekender London, Andrew once again joins Above & Beyond at their Group Therapy milestone celebrations, as they mark 500 episodes of their long-running radio show in Los Angeles in October.

Andrew Bayer teams up with Kaleena Zanders on LGBTQ+ anthem 'Break The Rules', lifted from part two of his double album 'Duality'.

A two-part album project, ‘Duality’ began as a homage to Andrew's debut album, 'It's Artificial'. Crafted over three years, ‘Duality pt. 1' explores Bayer’s passion for downtempo and indie-pop, while ‘Duality pt. 2' takes on his forward-thinking trance and progressive sound.

"With ‘Duality pt. 2’, I intended to make a dance album that feels timeless, forward-thinking, and personal. So many dance records have lost a sense of dynamics both in their mixes and arrangements. Every track is littered with classic synths, and experimental sound design" - Andrew Bayer

Road tested on the 'Duality' tour and Andrew's performances at The Gorge, Brooklyn Mirage and Dockyards London, 'Break The Rules' is a spirited anthem celebrating self-love and personal truth through a queer lens. It's a collaboration with Kaleena Zanders - often compared with iconic 90's vocalists CeCe Peniston and Robin S (and even Whitney Houston), Kaleena has worked with the likes of Finneas, AC Slater, Loud Luxury, Breathe Carolina, Moon Boots and Morgan Page to name a few. Kaleena's songs often incorporate themes of social justice and intersectional activism.

"Kaleena Zanders is the total package. She is the moment, and I still feel humbled every time I’ve played our song on tour. We wanted to write something based on our experience growing up differently. 'Break The Rules' is a love letter to our younger selves with a central message that being different isn’t only okay, it’s magical." - Andrew Bayer

“After a long, emotional and at times, hilarious conversation in the studio about our struggles growing up gay, Andrew & I felt the undeniable urge to make something healing & powerful. 'Break The Rules' is essentially a comforting letter to our younger self & to anyone else who has felt complete despair & depression from growing up hiding who they are. Breaking the rule is busting the door wide open to self-discovery, existing in a space of personal truth & transforming it all into self-love and love for others.” - Kaleena Zanders

Andrew Bayer’s ‘Duality’ is available to pre-order on triple gatefold vinyl via the Anjuna Music Store. In just over two weeks, Andrew once again joins Above & Beyond at their sold-out Group Therapy milestone celebrations, as they mark 500 episodes of their long-running radio show in Los Angeles in October.

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.

Lifted from the forthcoming debut album, ‘New Horizons’ (out January 13, 2023), ALPHA 9 presents ‘Down To Love’ with vocalist Jonathan Mendelsohn.

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. 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.”

Joining ALPHA 9 on ‘Down to Love’ is Jonathan Mendelsohn. A voice that will be recognised by fans of nearly every genre of mainstage dance, he sings on records including Seven Lions and Jason Ross’ ‘Oceans’ and ‘Foolish Of Me’, Brennan Heart’s hardstyle hit ‘Imaginary’, plus Hardwell and KAAZE’s collaboration ‘We Are Legends’.

ALPHA 9 feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn ‘Down To Love’ is out now on Anjunabeats. To mark the release of ‘New Horizons’, ALPHA 9 embarks on phase one of his album tour in early 2023, tickets on sale now.

ALPHA 9 feat. Jonathan Mendelsohn - Down to Love

Release Date: 28th October 2022

Anjunabeats is proud to present ‘Duality’, the stunning new double album from Andrew Bayer.

Enigma, polymath, visionary, DJ, producer, musician, artist: Andrew Bayer has been a cornerstone of Anjuna for over a decade. He's been responsible for the most experimental and ambitious artist albums on Anjunabeats. His 2011 debut ‘It’s Artificial’ merged glitch-hop, electronica and prog house, while on 2013’s ‘If It Were You, We’d Never Leave’ he pushed the envelope further with a critically-acclaimed journey of electronica and sunny, instrumental hip-hop. 2018's ‘In My Last Life’ wove the emotive songwriting of Ane Brun and Alison May into a modern alt-pop masterpiece.

A two-part album project, ‘Duality pt. 1' explores Bayer’s passion for downtempo and indie-pop, while ‘Duality’ pt. 2 takes on his forward-thinking trance and progressive sound. ‘Duality pt. 1' was released on August 12 via Anjunabeats. Met with acclaim from fans and supported by Sirius XM's Diplo and Liquid Todd, BBC Radio 1's Annie Nightingale and KCRW's Jason Bentley, it featured collaborations with OLAN, Run Rivers, Asbjørn, MOR, Dave Thomas Junior and more.

“Since day one, I have always struggled with how to present myself. I love making these experimental home listening albums of electronica and indie sounds, but I also love DJing and making trance bangers. On 'In My Last Life', I had to remix the album in full after it was released to make the worlds fit. This time around I wanted to capture all the breadth, depth and tension within that duality under one single project” - Andrew Bayer

On ‘Duality pt. 2’, Andrew takes the energy and BPM up a gear with ten tracks of cutting-edge club sounds - avant-garde sensibilities, aimed straight at the dancefloor. Over the past few months, Andrew has taken 'Duality pt. 2' around the world, performing at Anjunabeats star-studded takeover of New York City's Brooklyn Mirage; Above & Beyond's Group Therapy Weekender festivals at The Gorge and Dockyards London; and most recently, Group Therapy 500 at Banc of California Stadium, Los Angeles.

'Duality pt. 2' kicks off with 'Midnight', featuring vocals from long-term friend and collaborator Alison May and a go-to club smash in Above & Beyond's recent DJ sets. Red Dragons add their heavenly tones on the hypnotic ‘DNA’, before Bayer’s take on bass-lead electro with ‘Greater Chances’ (featuring OLAN).

A favourite from recent DJ sets and included on Anjunabeats Volume 16, ‘On Tape’ takes things into epic peak-time progressive trance territory. ‘I Would’ (with Alison May and Grandfather Machine) offers a beautiful downtempo moment, before ‘Break The Rules’ (with Kaleena Zanders) offers an uplifting take on self-love, personal truth and the isolation of queer identity.

Other highlights include ‘What Is Real’ (with Vök), the stunning instrumental synth crescendos of ‘If You Loop It, They Will Come’, and closing track ‘Pulse’ (with OLAN).

"With ‘Duality pt. 2’, I intended to make a dance album that feels timeless, forward-thinking, and personal. So many dance records have lost a sense of dynamics both in their mixes and arrangements. Every track is littered with classic synths, and experimental sound design" - Andrew Bayer

Andrew Bayer 'Duality' is out now on Anjunabeats, and is available to pre-order on triple gatefold vinyl via the Anjuna Music Store.

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.

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. 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’.

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'.

Release Date: 13th January 2023

ALPHA 9 releases his debut album ‘New Horizons’, out now on Anjunabeats. 

Artem Stolyarov, known as both ARTY and ALPHA 9, has earned millions of fans worldwide and filled some of the most coveted clubs and festivals on earth. 

He arrived at Anjunabeats under his ARTY alias over a decade ago. ‘Rush’, ‘Zara’, ‘Around The World’, ‘Rebound’ and ‘Kate’ are classics that helped define the sound of the label in the early 2010s. 

Artem later looked inward and found renewed purpose as ALPHA 9, the alias under which he’s explored his true musical identity 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 explosive sets have graced Steel Yard, Dreamstate, Electric Daisy Carnival, Tomorrowland, Ushuaïa, Amnesia Ibiza, and Creamfields. Most recently, he thrilled 20,000 fans at Above & Beyond’s sold out Group Therapy 500 celebrations in Los Angeles.

‘New Horizons’ is the culmination of the ALPHA 9 story to date, and an enticing look at where the project is heading next. “This is ALPHA 9’s signature, instantly recognisable sound, but it’s also future-facing and explores new horizons,” Artem says. “It’s called ‘New Horizons’ because it’s the journey from the first steps of ALPHA 9 to maturity.” 

Artem feels this is the most honest, raw and energising music he’s ever created. “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.”

Singles from the album have captivated fans and tastemakers alike. ‘Calling’, ‘Down to Love’ and ‘Final Frontier’ have racked up over two million combined streams to date. All three singles have  featured in Beatport’s Top 100 Trance chart, and received support from the likes of Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Ferry Corsten, Cosmic Gate, Farius and beyond.

“ALPHA 9 is my roots,” Artem says. “And when we decided to revive the project, we knew we wanted to take it to Anjunabeats.” He celebrates the release of ‘New Horizons’ with an extensive tour across North America in January - March 2023, tickets on sale now. 

ALPHA 9’s 'New Horizons' is out now on Anjunabeats.
