The Andrew Bayer odyssey continues. 2019 has seen the Berklee-educated artist reach impressive new heights; reinventing the calm, informed electronica of his third studio album ‘In My Last Life’, into a set of club-focused remakes with ‘In My Next Life’.  This, all alongside a string of striking singles in ‘Only You Boy’ and the Anjunabeats Volume 14 highlights ‘Eight to Sixteen’ and ‘Magitek’, each demonstrating Bayer’s ability to redefine the boundaries of modern trance.
Pressing on, Andrew’s next move is to step deeper into those analog club roots displayed in ‘Magitek’; as his ‘Parallels EP’ promises a return to the raw trance sound from his past.

The first of these new experiments to come into the light is ‘True Feelin’’ - another immense addition to his expansive catalogue. ’True Feelin’’ embodies all we’ve come to expect from Andrew Bayer over the years, blending together euphoric drops, razor-sharp sound design and a relentless energy.

In Bayer’s own words - “Ever since I started unravelling the club mix odyssey of ‘In My Next Life,’ I’ve felt a deep reconnection with my club sound and pushed myself to take it into new directions - whilst also paying homage to the influences that shaped my first interest in club culture”.

‘True Feelin’ is the start of the ‘Parallels’ book, with Bayer touring the EP throughout North America this fall, tickets are on sale now.

"Bottle Top Trance’ is another ode to music I loved when I was growing up. So much of my music is quite serious, but here I wanted to draw influence from some of the classic, Euro dance and trance ear-worms that I listened to when I growing up - music that was made for big danceloor moments, but had a sense of fun to it... almost bordering on silliness.” Andrew Bayer

The second single to be taken from the forthcoming ’Parallels EP, ‘Bottle Top Trance’ is already established as an Above & Beyond set favourite as well as taking Record Of The Week on their Group Therapy radio show.

This is one of my favorite songs I've ever written. It holds a special place in my heart as it was written around the time I was really re-focusing myself & finally moving forward again after feeling lost for a long time. I hope u guys like it <3 :3!

"Parallels began as I explored synths, sounds, textures, and melodic motifs from my early days (even childhood) in dance music. I broke out all my old synths both analog and virtual analog, and dove back into classic sound design, wondering why I had put them down in the first place. This reconnection with my past taught me quite a few things, but most importantly: I learned to take things a bit less seriously, and not give a fuck.

I’ve always found it challenging to merge my two passions in electronic music: the dance floor, and the more heady home listening environment. That’s why I specifically decided to challenge myself further and include both sonic landscapes in one track: Parallels. It starts as a 100BPM idm-infused half time hard techno (in my eyes) track, that gradually builds to an electro-slammed full on classic trance revival moment. This is the first time I’ve fused both sonic passions of mine into one whole piece, and I’m very sure this will not be the last!

The EP sweeps across my musical mood board of everything from hyper emotive string sections augmented by modular synth patterns, to more whimsical tuned percussive ear worms. The most exciting part for me was the self discovery of understanding that these two wildly different sides of my musical curiosity can exist in parallel with each other, harmoniously and non conflicted. I proudly present Parallels in its entirety today, and look forward to exploring this concept even further."

Andrew Bayer - Voltage Control

Following his return to Anjunabeats last month with ‘Every Word’ (featuring the vocals of faved collaborator Kerry Leva), long-term label contributor Matt Lange brings a new three-tracker to the label, entitled ‘Isn’t It Lovely’.

Bookending the EP around ‘Every Word’ is the piano-led title-track ‘Isn’t It Lovely’ - first heard as the tranquil opener on Above & Beyond’s Anjunabeats Volume 14 compilation released earlier this year. Completing the EP with new composition ‘Push’, a sophisticated dive from the Grammy-nominated producer into his typically dark & progressive palate.

Matt explains his creative process around the EP - “While ‘Isn’t It Lovely’ was of course inspired by my remix of Above & Beyond’s, ’Is It Love?, ‘Push’ and ‘Every Word’ were inspired by sitting down with a piano, Juno 106 and a Moog and simply playing what felt natural. I feel the melodic nature of this EP expresses this just as I intended”.

A selection of reimagined Above & Beyond hits and catalogue classics, “Acoustic III” will be released on Anjunabeats this summer.

The band have once again enlisted musical director and producer Bob Bradley to arrange and co-produce “Acoustic III”. The album is a subtle departure from the first two albums in this well-loved series. Fans can expect more uptempo arrangements, bold brass instrumentation and just the right amount of funk. In Bradley’s words: “More Quincy Jones and a little less orchestral, with some really intimate moments.”

“Acoustic III” will feature completely new arrangements of some of the biggest hits from Above & Beyond’s #3 Billboard Hot 100 Album “Common Ground”, including Northern Soul, My Own Hymn and Happiness Amplified, plus reinterpretations of 2019 club singles ‘There’s Only You’ and ‘Waltz’.
The album is set for release in summer 2020 on Anjunabeats and will be supported by a tour of some of the most prestigious concert venues in the UK and North America, including London’s Royal Albert Hall and The Alexandra Palace Theatre, New York’s Radio City, The Kennedy Centre in Washington DC, plus the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles and Berkeley. The tour culminates with a special performance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on July 1, accompanied by the Colorado Symphony.

Anjunabeats, the iconic record label founded in the year 2000 by Above & Beyond, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. As part of the celebrations, Jono, Tony and Paavo today unveil the 15th release in the celebrated ‘Volume’ series.

Crafted by Above & Beyond in their London studio during lockdown, Anjunabeats Volume 15 signals the direction this label is heading in. 

“The rug has been pulled from under us all as we battle this unprecedented global situation. From isolation comes motivation, however, and it’s time to revisit a trusted friend: the Anjunabeats Volume series.” - Above & Beyond

Names both fresh and familiar to Anjunabeats fans - over 30 artists in total - have been included in the mix. 

Volume debutants include Jordin Post, Le Youth, and gardenstate (a new project from Marcus Schössow and Matthew Felner) are joined by label stalwarts Andrew Bayer, Genix, Gabriel & Dresden, Oliver Smith, Mat Zo, Jason Ross, Tinlicker, Sunny Lax and, of course, Above & Beyond.

Disc one, a deeper, progressive mix, features a selection of exciting Anjunadeep talent on display: Marsh, Qrion, Durante & HANA, Frost and PROFF. The mix builds up to disc two, where Above & Beyond takes full flight.

Disc two has no less than six Above & Beyond contributions, including three new club instrumentals: “I Saw Good”, “Jam” and “Crash”. There are two Volume 15 exclusive remixes of Above & Beyond’s staples: “Oceanic”, remixed by Germany’s Jerome, and “Sun In Your Eyes”, remixed by Sunny Lax. 

Some formidable collaborations have been turned in from Andrew Bayer - who teams up on tracks with both Genix and Cosmic Gate - Grum and Genix and Spencer Brown and ALPHA 9. Trance music’s answer to the power trio, Elysian (ilan Bluestone, Maor Levi and Emma Hewitt) also make an appearance. 

We dedicate this mix to you, our Anjunafamily, and in particular to those who are facing hardship at the moment. Stay strong, we will dance together again soon. - Above & Beyond

Anjunabeats Volume 15 Mixed By Above & Beyond is available on July 31. A limited-edition run of physical CD copies and accompanying art print is available to pre-order from the Anjuna Music Store.

“Every day, once a day, give yourself a present.” 

The GRAMMY-nominated trio Above & Beyond and their live band have reunited with Zoë Johnston to record a cover of ‘Falling’ by Julee Cruise, the opening theme of cult 90s series Twin Peaks.

It’s a lockdown surprise for Above & Beyond fans who, sadly, weren’t able to see the band’s ‘Acoustic III’ tour this year.

Above & Beyond are avid fans of David Lynch’s mysterious drama and the band’s ‘Acoustic’ project - two whole albums of re-imagined songs with a third due this year - wears its Lynchian legacy with pride.

Tony McGuinness from Above & Beyond:

"During the early days of lockdown, I was posting Above & Beyond guitar tutorials online and someone suggested we do a Twin Peaks cover in the comments. I thought it was a great idea and spoke to Zoë that same afternoon. The music of David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti was an important reference for the sound of Acoustic - on the last Acoustic tour, we came on stage to ‘Audrey’s Dance’ from the original Twin Peaks soundtrack album.

Our cover starts as quite faithful to the Julee Cruise original, but using some other 1990s references, it wanders off into its own lovely space."

‘Falling’ was written by Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch in 1989 and was first released on Julee Cruise’s debut album ‘Floating into the Night’.

Above & Beyond capture the haunting atmosphere of the original track and suggest you enjoy ‘Falling’ with a damn fine cup of coffee and a slice of cherry pie.

The band’s ‘Acoustic III’ album will be released this December on Anjunabeats, including reimagined versions of songs from their #3 Billboard Album ‘Common Ground’. You can pre-save and pre-order the album now via the Anjuna Music Store. 

Above & Beyond ‘Falling’ feat. Zoë Johnston is out now.
