Anybody else hear “I’m Not In Love” by Crystal Castles? Definitely could mix the two

getting some old school grum vibes from that synth

Awesome track. The synth reminds me of Crystal Catle's-Not in Love ;-). Great!!!

Anjunabeats is pleased to announce the self-titled debut album from JODA, aka Jono Grant and Darren Tate, releasing August 26. The new double A-side 'Try / Dark Strings' is out now.

JODA are a fresh musical pairing with shared DNA. Both together and apart, Jono Grant and Darren Tate 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 output as varied as it is prodigious. Their label Anjunabeats is home to a bustling community of artists with over twenty years of catalog.

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 around 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-around – 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.

An artful evocation of electronic music’s decade-zero, 'Try' is "rooted in classic songwriting", according to Grant, taking a page from classic synthpop. Then there’s the glitchy instrumental 'Dark Strings', influenced by darker sounds.

'JODA', their debut album, releases this summer. For now, though, Jono Grant and Darren Tate are simply happy that a project that began almost when neither of them was looking, in the midst of lockdowns, has turned out exactly and as fully as they imagined. Unforced, unhurried, and only done for love: this is a passion project of the best kind.

JODA’s self-titled debut album is out August 26. Pre-order on 2x12” vinyl and digitally via the Anjuna Music Store.

Release Date: 29th July 2022

JODA, aka Jono Grant (Above & Beyond) and Darren Tate (DT8 Project, Jurgen Vries), release the final single taken from their self-titled debut album ‘JODA’, ‘Closer’.

‘Closer’ leans into pop with dark, electro undercurrents and features vocals from singer-songwriter Robyn Sherwell, who has previously been championed by Jo Whiley, Lauren Laverne and Huw Stevens across the BBC Radio network. Released on July 29, ‘Closer’ explores themes of loss, anguish and strength.

JODA is the new passion project from Jono Grant and Darren Tate. As dance music mainstays, the pair have always been in each other’s orbit. Jono Grant is one third of Above & Beyond, one of electronic music’s most influential acts, and Darren Tate is a producer and songwriter with 12 top 40 UK hits and three appearances on Top of the Pops.

The pair first unearthed their chemistry in 2003, when they produced “Let The Light Shine In” and “Nocturnal Creatures” together. They reconnected in 2019 when Tate returned to his trance roots and signed to Anjunabeats under his DT8 alias. Around the same time, Above & Beyond received an offer to score an environmental documentary The Last Glaciers, and teamed up with Tate to write it. The musical lightning struck immediately, and once the score was written the chemistry felt too good to lose. When lockdown hit, Tate and Grant entered a mutual creative bubble, and co-wrote a flurry of synth-wave dark-pop electronica. Enter JODA.

JODA feat. Robyn Sherwell - Closer

Airdraw & Jo.E are trailblazing their way across the electronic music landscape; thanks to their atmospheric productions on some of the worlds most credible labels. This time they grab your attention with a Touch of Mercy feat. Noel Ruarte.

While the original mix is a sublime piece of music as is always the case with the Argentinian duo, it’s the PROFF mix which takes the gold on this release. The Anjunabeats favourite reworks A Touch of Mercy into a hypnotic progressive gem. His subtle melodic undertones are underpinned elegantly by a cascade of emotion all packed together perfectly by his modern midas touch.
