The next chapter of Sunny Lax's storied career begins with his 'Emerald EP', out now on Anjunabeats.

One of our most beloved artists, Levente Márton, aka Sunny Lax, has been part of our family since 'P.U.M.A / Cassiopeia' in 2006. “Back in those days you had to send CDs to labels in the post,” Márton says. “I sent ‘Cassiopeia’ and ‘P.U.M.A’ to nine or ten different labels, and Anjuna loved them.” Above & Beyond played ‘P.U.M.A’ four times in a row on their Trance Around The World radio show, and Armin van Buuren subsequently made ‘P.U.M.A’ the Record Of The Week and featured it on his ASOT Yearmix Album in 2005. A star was born.

Since then, Sunny Lax has grown and flourished alongside Anjunabeats. “Back then I produced 140BPM uplifting trance, and we did that together for six years,” Levente says. “But then everything started changing around 2011.” Spearheaded by Above & Beyond, ilan Bluestone, Oliver Smith and Sunny, a cleaner, more progressive trance sound emerged.

Many of Sunny Lax's productions in this era drove the 'trance 2.0' sound forward. 2015’s 'Enceladus' is a fine example. “That’s still my most popular track,” he says. “So many big artists played it at huge events.” The success of ‘Enceladus’ was unplanned. Levente remembers messing around in his studio, relaxed, happy and with no intention of producing a hit. “Sometimes when you’re in that state something pure and effortless comes out,” he says. Its place in Anjuna legend was cemented by Sunny dropping 'Enceladus' to 20,000 fans at Above & Beyond's ABGT250 celebrations at the Gorge, alongside fellow Anjunabeats stalwart and good friend Genix.

In recent years, Sunny's trademark melodic trance sound has been a cornerstone of Anjunabeats' release schedule: highlights include 'Solar Plexus', 'Losing It', 'V.I.B.E.' and 2020's 'End Of Our Time EP'. He's headlined shows across the globe and has been a regular guest at Anjunabeats' label showcases, plus recently supporting Above & Beyond on their Anjunafamily Reunion Tour and at their Group Therapy Weekender London festival.

The 'Emerald EP' marks the start of an exciting new chapter for Sunny Lax - featuring three tracks that Sunny has been extensively roadtesting on tour, 'Ayahuasca', 'Emerald' and 'Dance With Me'.

"The past few years were a rollercoaster for many of us, with all its difficulties and beauties. In these times as an artist I had the chance to slow down and pay a little more attention to my inner voice. When the world was a little too mad around me, I escaped into the music - into the heartwarming melodies, and when the world became too quiet, I filled it up with loud rhythms.

The 'Emerald EP' is a first chapter of something new. This is a journey which I hope will bring you inspiration, balance, wisdom, and patience! This journey always reminds me of one thought: anything happens in our world, good or bad: it's all about the perspective - which can give us better understanding. Hope you enjoy the ride!" - Sunny Lax

Stay tuned for more from Sunny Lax on Anjunabeats over the coming months. The 'Emerald EP' is out now.

SØNIN and Oliver Smith kickstart the new year with their latest release, ‘Passion’. 

Oliver Smith has amassed over 20 million streams across his entire catalogue. As Anjunabeats' first signing and one of our label's oldest and dearest friends, he mixed the Anjunabeats Worldwide 08 compilation in 2018; 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 last releases on Anjunabeats, ‘Make Me Feel’, ‘Snowfall’ and ‘Borderline’, won support from the likes of Armin van Buuren, Ben Malone and Gabriel & Dresden, with the former single earning a spot in the Anjunabeats Volume 16 compilation. Last year, he took our Group Therapy Weekenders at The Gorge, London and Australia by storm, and followed up a busy summer of touring with a dynamic set at Anjunabeats Los Angeles. 

Anton Sonin, aka SØNIN, has been featured on mint, NMF Dance, Trance Mission and Night Rider on Spotify, as well as danceXL and New Music Daily on Apple Music. Anton cut his teeth as a producer in a studio space in Helsinki, shared with compatriots Super8 & Tab, Yotto and Supermodels From Paris. His last release on Anjunabeats, ‘Waterfall’, climbed to #3 on the Beatport Trance chart.

SØNIN & Oliver Smith’s ‘Passion’ is out now on Anjunabeats.

Over the last two decades, Above & Beyond’s Anjunabeats label has launched the careers of some of the most respected names in electronic music: Andrew Bayer, ARTY, Audien, ilan Bluestone, Seven Lions and Mat Zo, to name just a few. In January 2021, the label launched Anjunabeats Rising: a new EP series highlighting the next generation of producers and championing emerging artists from around the world. 

Anjunabeats Rising has introduced over 40 new acts to the label since 2021, including 28mm, Nancie, Adz, Avenue One, Damate, Taygeto, and many more. The series is now back for its 17th volume, with new music from Mr. Sosa, Corderoy, soft centre and Alex Wright.

Bournemouth-based Mr. Sosa debuted on Anjunadeep last year with ‘Euphoria’, which featured on the label’s Explorations 19 compilation. He’s been championed by the likes of Marsh, Simon Doty and Because Of Art, and his tracks have appeared in leading editorial playlists like Spotify’s 4AM Chillout, The Loft and Altar.

Corderoy has racked up over 10 million streams across his entire catalogue. He’s earned spins from Tiesto, Nora En Pure, Sultan + Shepherd, John Gibbons, David Guetta, Judge Jules, and beyond, and has previously released on Hexagon, Armada, Perfecto, Enhanced and more.

soft centre is the brand new vocal project from Jodie Nicholson, who opened the Wilderness Festival main stage for Jamie XX and Bicep in 2021. Her tracks have featured on BBC Radio 1, Radio 2 and the 6 Music playlist, as well as the annual 'Best of BBC Introducing' playlists. 

Alex Wright has attracted support from icons like Armin van Buuren and Paul van Dyk, as well as Apollo Nash and Aly & Fia. The Nottingham-based DJ and producer has released on an array of respected labels, including Always Alive, DSR, FSOE Fables, Pure Trance and AVA White, and also runs a bi-weekly show on 1Mix Radio.

“Vora came to life while messing around with a CS-80 and eventually evolved into a heavy breakbeat rave piece. It’s been a secret weapon in my sets for a while now whenever it’s time to turn up the heat. I first teased it in my Anjuna live stream on the Jurassic coast and the requests to release it have been nonstop.” - Mr. Sosa

"I wanted to combine a thunderous, percussive groove with an atmospheric, sun-kissed breakdown to get the best of both worlds." - Alex Wright

Above & Beyond's Jono Grant remixes his JODA project, with his 'Stadium Mix' of 'We Find Ourselves'.

2022 was a big year for Jono Grant and Darren Tate, aka JODA. Grant is one-third of Above & Beyond who, throughout a two-decade career, have established themselves as one of the biggest electronic groups in the world. In 2019, Above & Beyond received an offer to score an environmental documentary, ‘The Last Glaciers’. He enlisted classically trained musician, songwriter, producer, hitmaker and close friend Darren Tate, and the duo got stuck into composing together.

It became a dream project all around – not least because it sparked further ideas. 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. Their self-titled album ‘JODA’, celebrating the musical influences that Jono and Darren grew up with, was released on Anjunabeats in August 2022 – to a rapturous reception from the Anjunafamily and beyond.

'We Find Ourselves' was released in April 2022 as the lead single from the JODA project, featuring Jono on vocals. His 'Stadium Mix' was premiered at Above & Beyond’s sold-out Group Therapy 500 celebrations in Los Angeles last October.

JODA ‘We Find Ourselves’ (Jono Grant’s Stadium Mix) is out now on Anjunabeats. JODA's self-titled debut album is out now, and is available to pre-order on black vinyl from the Anjuna Music Store.

Above & Beyond's Paavo Siljamäki releases new double A-side 'Polar Bears (with Spencer Brown) / Thunder & Sunshine' under his P.O.S alias.

Putting his faith in the natural world around him, 'Deeper Tales' sees Paavo reconnect with the dance floor, and himself, for his debut solo album as P.O.S.

A songwriter, producer and DJ, Paavo is one-third of the ground-breaking, record-breaking British dance institution Above & Beyond, founders of London-based label Anjunabeats. Double GRAMMY-nominated, RIAA Gold Certified artists, the band has rocked festival stages and iconic live institutions alike, from Glastonbury, EDC, and Creamfields, to the Royal Albert Hall and Madison Square Garden.

However, the last five years have seen Paavo face a succession of personal and health-related challenges, including several battles with Covid. “Basically, I had a burnout. I just couldn’t see what I wanted to do. And after my burnout, I was like: what is dance music to me? I don’t really know even if I like it. I’ve heard – I’ve written – too many build-ups! So I thought: that’s me done,” Paavo says. 

Finding solace in nature, inspiration rekindled; first with Above & Beyond’s ambient album ‘Flow State’, and then a return to dance floor-orientated sounds. “There’s no feeling of freedom like being at sea,” he adds. “When I’m sailing, I synchronize with the sunrise and sunset – we almost always get up at sunrise. So this is like being really aligned with nature. I found that, after my burnout, and Covid, I really found myself in nature. There’s something about being closer with nature that is really healing – and very inspiring.”

Now living on board the Swedish boat he now calls home, Paavo re-immersed himself into the club culture that had first caught his imagination as a 15-year-old rave kid, from the dance floors of Ibiza to the desert raves of Burning Man. His 'Deeper Tales' album reflects his experiences of late; soulful, heart-on-sleeve club records with many debuted during Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy 500 and Anjunadeep Open Air L.A. celebrations last autumn.

Born in a studio jam in Los Angeles in late 2021, 'Polar Bears' is a collaboration with DJ and producer Spencer Brown. Paavo and Spencer's friendship stretches back to 2014, when the budding producer caught the ear of Above & Beyond with his debut release 'Chalice' on Avicii's imprint LE7ELS. A versatile talent, Spencer's impressive portfolio includes two mixed albums on Anjunabeats plus releases on Anjunadeep, mau5trap and Sasha's Last Night On Earth. In 2022, Spencer launched his own label, diviine.

Bookending the double A-side is 'Thunder & Sunshine', a fan favourite from Above & Beyond's Anjunabeats Volume 16 mix compilation from summer 2022. Both tracks were played by A&B in their now-legendary set for Cercle atop Piedra del Peñol, Colombia.

P.O.S 'Deeper Tales' arrives on Anjunabeats this Spring. Phase one of the P.O.S. Deeper Tales tour is on sale now, with dates across North America this March including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Miami. Grab tickets here: https://anjunabeats.co/posdeepertalestour.OOW

The ‘Amethyst EP’ is Sunny’s final release ahead of his forthcoming debut album. The follow-up to his recent ‘Ruby’ and ‘Emerald’ EPs, supported by Armin van Buuren, Above & Beyond, Gabriel & Dresden, Tritonal and more, it showcases three more uplifting tracks from Sunny's arsenal. 

“The 'Amethyst EP' is a tribute to the power of music and its ability to heal and uplift our spirits. I wanted to create a collection of tracks that not only evoke nostalgia and fond memories, but also provide a sense of joy and inner peace." - Sunny Lax

We’re excited to see Sunny behind the decks at our Anjunabeats Pool Party in Miami on March 26, as well as Group Therapy Weekender at The Gorge. Tickets on sale now (https://anjunabeats.com/events).
