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.

Featured on their forthcoming Anjunabeats Volume 16 compilation, Above & Beyond's Jono Grant delivers his 'Summer of '95' mix of the trio's 2021 single ’Screwdriver'.

‘Screwdriver’ was Above & Beyond’s smash instrumental single from 2021. Jono, Tony and Paavo flipped the script on their established club sound with this fan-favourite track from the trio’s sold out Group Therapy 450 festival in London last September.

"It’s fair to say most Above & Beyond recordings exist in different forms before they finally reach the festival stage, as ambient beds, acoustic sessions or early groove sketches. ‘Screwdriver’ always made a statement in its supercharged breakbeat guise, but we could always hear echoes of a classic house idea in there as well. Jono’s mix brings this to the fore, giving the whole record a very UK summer feel." - Above & Beyond

Above & Beyond 'Screwdriver' (Jono Grant's Summer Of '95 Mix) is out now on Anjunabeats. Anjunabeats Volume 16, mixed by Above & Beyond, is available on July 22. A limited-edition run of physical CD copies and accompanying art print is available to pre-order from the Anjuna Music Store.

After two and a half years away from the label, Gabriel & Dresden (Josh and Dave to their friends) return to Anjunabeats with ‘Bias’, as heard on Anjunabeats Volume 16.

Dave Dresden and Josh Gabriel have built an enduring legacy in their 20+ years in dance music. Hailing from the US, the DJ and producer duo helped define the sound of modern dance music with hits like ‘As The Rush Comes’ and ’Tracking Treasure Down.’ They’ve created three essential mixes on BBC Radio 1 and won Best American DJ twice at IDMA Awards – a testament to just how loved and respected this duo are in the UK and beyond. The pair made their ‘The Only Road’ and ‘Remedy’ albums off the back of Kickstarter campaigns released on Anjunabeats in 2017 and 2020 respectively, and their 2018 remix of Cosmic Gate’s ‘Only Road’ was nominated for a GRAMMY.

Although ‘Bias’ is their first release in a while, the pair stayed active during the pandemic with their Club Quarantine lockdown streams. The duo kept millions of people company online, and now they’re doing it in real life with their ‘Gabriel & Dresden and Friends’ US touring concept.

“After spending the pandemic focused on #ClubQuarantine, we were itching to make music again. We decided to do something Josh had wanted to do for many years, build a modular synthesizer to inspire new kinds of creativity in the studio.

After spending months researching which modules to get, we settled on the relatively modest setup that would be our sound palette for making Bias. We were excited to take a more stripped-down approach to making music, as well as not being tied to a computer screen while making it.

When Josh first played the main acid lead, we had a shared excitement for it and immediately started recording an hour of knob tweaking. The result was recorded to six separate channels and then cut and layered in Ableton to create the final track.

Every single sound in Bias came from the modular rig. We hope you have as much fun listening to it as we did making it.” - Gabriel & Dresden

Gabriel & Dresden ‘Bias’ is out now on Anjunabeats.

UK-based producer Tommy Farrow remixes Grum and Sarah Appel’s ‘Come Alive’.

One of dance music’s brightest upcoming talents, Tommy Farrow counts Sam Divine, Jess Bays and Diplo amongst his fans, and recently supported Hot Since 82 at Manchester’s Warehouse Project. He’s since released on Stress Records, Shall Not Fade and Armada Electronic Elements, and recently signed to Sony Publishing. Farrow’s releases tread the line between breakbeat and trance, and he expertly combines the two with his ‘Come Alive’ remix. 

‘Come Alive’ was originally released on Grum's latest studio album 'Unreality' in June 2022. ‘Unreality’ is his most reflective work to date, putting human connection in the digital age under the microscope. A story in two halves, the album is introspective, ideas-driven and song-heavy, holding a mirror to Graeme’s own emotional journey over the last two years.

Tommy Farrow says: “I wanted this remix to be a big room club record with a driving bassline and a bright trance-like lead - Sarah's vocals in particular were amazing to work with. I’m so excited to release this remix with Anjuna, they have an amazing following and the label is home to some of my favourite artists. I’m also a massive fan of Grum’s work, so I’m really excited to get this one out!” 

Grum says: “It feels good to have one of the most promising new faces in prog remix one of my personal favourite tracks. Tommy is rapidly becoming known for bringing his nu-breed style to everything he touches, whether that’s an extended DJ set or a cutting edge remix. This reworking weaves Sarah Appel’s vocals into an atmospheric groove for 2022's darker dance floors."

Grum feat. Sarah Appel ‘Come Alive’ (Tommy Farrow Remix) is out now on Anjunabeats.

Out now on Anjunabeats: Laura van Dam’s ‘This Love’. 

Labelled by 1001tracklists.com as ‘The Future of Dance’, Laura cut her teeth as a producer whilst working as an A&R for Doorn Records. She graduated onto that label in 2019 with 'Skyfly', before making her Anjunabeats debut with ‘Set Me Free’ earlier this year. 

A favourite from her Group Therapy Weekender London set, her latest single ‘This Love’ was selected by Above & Beyond for Anjunabeats Volume 16.

“Another graduate of the Anjunabeats Rising academy, Laura van Dam has been on our radar for some time, her sound lying somewhere between Tinlicker and Jaytech. ‘This Love’ is a fantastic follow up to Rising 13’s ‘Set Me Free’, a cracking piece of music that hooked us in straight away.” - Above & Beyond

With support from Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Sander van Doorn, Nicky Romero, Oliver Heldens, and more, as well as experience playing at Ultra Europe and Ultra Miami, Sunburn Festival, Groove Cruise, Parookaville, and Privilege Ibiza, Laura is an exciting talent to watch. We’re thrilled to have her join us in Amsterdam for our ADE showcase on October 23, tickets on sale now (https://anjunabeats.com/events).

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

Anjunabeats Rising graduates Harry Diamond & K-MRK drop their latest progressive single, ‘The Festival’, which featured in Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy 500 set from the Banc Of California Stadium, Los Angeles.

Brighton native Harry Diamond first appeared on Anjunabeats with ‘Electrified’, a 2011 collaboration with Darren Tate and Nicolai. With over 20 million Spotify streams worldwide, Bangkok-based K-MRK has toured the globe extensively, playing at the likes of EDC, Sunrise, Mint and Neverland festivals. This year, the pair have graced us with two high-octane EPs on Anjunabeats, as well as a series of mixes for the Anjunabeats Rising Residency. 

“We were writing a bunch of demos earlier this year and ‘The Festival’ was the only track we were on the fence about. We ended up making it slightly less dark and then felt more confident about it. We sent it in not expecting it to get picked up; turns out it was the favourite!" - Harry Diamond

Harry Diamond & K-MRK 'The Festival' is out now on Anjunabeats.

Production duo anamē deliver their remixes of Lostep's seminal record 'Burma'. 

anamē is the new project from Marcus Schössow (previously one half of gardenstate) and Thomas Sagstad. The pair have had a busy 2022, debuting with their emotive collaboration with Above & Beyond and Marty Longstaff, 'Gratitude'. 

A jubilant vocal ballad and a tough, dancefloor filler, 'Gratitude' has cemented itself as a future classic for both Above & Beyond and anamē. Marcus and Thomas subsequently dropped their own 'AM' and 'PM' mixes of 'Gratitude' on Anjunabeats, with All Day I Dream star Sébastien Léger also contributing a rework.

anamē have also released 'Influencer' (with BLR and Robbie Rise) on Anjunabeats over summer 2022, and a stirring rework of a dancefloor classic in Conjure One and Sinéad O’Connor's 'Tears From The Moon'. They've now turned their attention to another one of their personal anthems, Lostep's 'Burma': anamē's 'AM' remix was premiered by Above & Beyond at their sold-out Group Therapy 500 celebrations in Los Angeles.

Lostep first released ‘Burma’ in 2004 on Global Underground Music, which was then remixed by Sasha and included on his iconic Involver compilation. The original and Sasha remixes became dancefloor staples, racking up plays from legendary DJs across electronic music: John Digweed, Gabriel & Dresden, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, BLR, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Nick Warren and Lee Burridge to name a few.

Lostep 'Burma' (anamē Remixes) is out now on Anjunabeats.
