Lifted from the forthcoming album 'Unreality', Grum shares an 80s-inspired single 'Don't Look Down', featuring Natalie Shay.

There’s a considered and conscientious edge to every record that comes from the studio of Graeme Shepherd, a.k.a. Grum. Strip away the club exterior and you will find a nuanced, sometimes provocative, message that asks us to challenge our outlook on the world.

Progressive house connoisseur, Deep State label head and Anjunabeats stalwart, June 24 sees the release of his fourth artist album, ‘Unreality’; his most reflective work to date, putting human connection in the digital age under the microscope. 

“This is about remembering our humanity, which perhaps we lost a little bit over the last couple of years - maybe we can get a bit of it back in the dark, under some strobe lights.” 

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. 

“The first half mostly came about in the summer of 2020. With all that time on my hands, and as a form of therapy, I started rediscovering a lot of 80s music I loved and hadn’t listened to for a long time. This turned into doing special 80s livestreams to connect with my fans. There is definitely a bit of longing here for simpler and happier times.” Grum explains. “The second half of the album has a darker, apocalypse rave feel to it”.

Designed for the darkest of dance floors, lead single ‘Disconnected’ featuring Daniel Sealine provides one of those cataclysmic moments; a techno infused helter-skelter ride with Daniel’s vocal bursting out of the shadows.

Grum embarks on phase one of his ‘Unreality’ tour this summer, stage one including 18 dates across North America with shows in San Francisco, Las Vegas, Chicago, Toronto and more.

Grum feat. Sealine ‘Disconnected’ is out now. ‘Unreality’ arrives June 24 on Anjunabeats, and is available to pre-order as a single 12” vinyl, and as a bundle with Deep State via the Anjuna Music Store.

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.

Grum shares new music from his upcoming album ‘Unreality’: ‘Come Alive / Pattern Recognition’.

Progressive house connoisseur, Deep State label head and Anjunabeats stalwart, June 24 sees the release of Grum's fourth artist album, ‘Unreality’; 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.

“The first half mostly came about in the summer of 2020. With all that time on my hands, and as a form of therapy, I started rediscovering a lot of 80s music I loved and hadn’t listened to for a long time. This turned into doing special 80s livestreams to connect with my fans. There is definitely a bit of longing here for simpler and happier times.” Grum explains. “The second half of the album has a darker, apocalypse rave feel to it”.

The final singles to be released before the album’s launch, ‘Come Alive’ and ‘Pattern Recognition’ connect both sides of the ‘Unreality’ narrative. “This is a bit of an oddball track which is possibly turning into my favourite off the album.” says Grum on ‘Come Alive’. “Sarah delivered a really lovely vocal about pulling yourself together. Musically, a big Depeche Mode influence on this one, with a bit of James Holden too.” A “proper synth workout”, ‘Pattern Recognition’ takes proceedings into Gabriel & Dresden vs. Felix da Housecat territory.

Grum embarks on phase one of his ‘Unreality’ tour this summer, including 18 dates across North America with shows in San Francisco, Las Vegas, Chicago, Toronto and more.

‘Come Alive / Pattern Recognition’ is out now. ‘Unreality’ arrives June 24 on Anjunabeats, and is available to pre-order as a single 12” vinyl via the Anjuna Music Store.

Anjunabeats mainstay Sunny Lax returns with ‘Night Sky’, as heard on Anjunabeats Worldwide 10.

One of our most beloved artists, this release marks Sunny’s first on the label in 2022. Selected by Fatum for their Anjunabeats Worldwide 10 mix, ‘Night Sky’ mixes together Sunny’s trademark melodic sound with acid house, progressive and trance.

Alongside the original mix, Sunny also treats fans to his house flavoured Eighty-Six Mix, plus a weighty rework from fellow Hungarian and good friend Low Contrast.

“Night Sky is a celebration of Sunny and the evolution of his amazing sound. Anyone who has met Sunny Lax knows how wonderful of a person he is, and we are so happy to have our friend be on the compilation” - Fatum

Rigorously road testing his new material, Sunny has recently played at Anjunabeats Miami, Dreamstate and supported Above & Beyond on the Anjunafamily Reunion Tour. He also makes an appearance at Group Therapy Weekender London alongside 40+ artists from across the Anjunafamily, tickets on sale now (https://aboveandbeyond.nu/gtwlondon).

Sunny Lax ‘Night Sky’ is out now on Anjunabeats.

Musician, producer and environmental scientist Nourey announces the ‘Meant To Be EP’ and releases new single, ‘For Ellie’.

Egyptian-born, Boston-based musician Nourey is a rising star on the label. First picking up the guitar at ten years old, Nourey turned to music production; releasing on Elliptical Sun Recordings and AVA. Her unique blend of trance, house and jazz caught the ear of Above & Beyond, who played her debut single 'Skylar' on Group Therapy Radio in 2019. She soon crossed over to Anjunabeats, remixing Gabriel & Dresden and releasing 'In Motion' (with OLAN), 'All Night' (with ZOYA) and ‘Meant To Be’ (with FOSTER).

The second single from her upcoming debut EP, ‘For Ellie’ is dedicated to Zanziman Ellie, a 21-year-old Rwandan man with microcephaly, whose story went viral in late 2020. Nourey will be donating a portion of her royalties for this release to the Foundation for Children with Microcephaly and Fraternity Without Borders.

“I was deeply touched when I read about Zanziman Ellie’s story, and to learn he was forced to move out of his town for being different. Even more, when I learned more about the condition he has, microcephaly. He’s always smiled at everyone who has bullied him for looking different, so this track was written as a smile back at this kind soul" - Nourey

Alongside her music career, Nourey is also a postdoctoral research fellow and manager of the Climate Change and Cities Program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. She works closely with AnjunaHQ on sustainability initiatives, and has multiple academic awards and honours for her research.

Nourey is set for a breakthrough year on Anjunabeats, with more original music arriving soon on the label and performances lined up at Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy Weekender festivals at The Gorge and Dockyards London. The four-track ‘Meant To Be EP’ arrives August 8 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.

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.

Featured on Anjunabeats Volume 16, Anton Sonin, aka SØNIN, releases 'Waterfall' with vocalist Lewyn.

Anton cut his teeth as a producer in a studio space in Helsinki, shared with compatriots Super8 & Tab, Yotto and Supermodels From Paris. He delivered a head-turning set at Above & Beyond's Group Therapy Weekender London festival.

Anton’s latest release, ‘Waterfall’, received widespread acclaim after featuring on the Anjunabeats Volume 16 mix compilation album. 'Waterfall' features the soothing vocals of Lewyn, an artist whose tracks have been played over 150 times on SiriusXM Chill. 

“Last appearing on an Anjunabeats Volume compilation eight editions ago with the iconic ‘Black Is The New Yellow’, the resurgence of Finland’s Anton Sonin on the label has been wonderful to behold. Slotting together classic trance riffs with modern grooves is a challenge he regularly rises to, with ‘Waterfall’ featuring Dutch singer Lewyn his best to date.” - Above & Beyond

"I've had the idea of making a crossover indie pop record with modern trance production for a while, but it took me some time to find the right collaborator for it. The moment I heard Lewyn's first demo of the topline I fell in love with it, and it clicked right away how it should be produced. I'm really happy how this turned out and can't wait to play this one live for you." - SØNIN
