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

Sunny Lax - Ayahuasca

A classically trained violinist with a modern edge, PIEDRO weaves emotion through every note — blending the elegance of classical music with the pulse of electronic genres like EDM, trance, chill house, ambient, and Latin Afro house. Inspired by cinematic scores and fantasy game worlds, their signature sound features deeply melodic violin phrases that evoke peace, longing, euphoria, and hope. On a heartfelt journey to share their musical creativity with a wider audience, he invites listeners into a world where tradition meets innovation, and every performance tells a story.

Not just a sound — a current pulling you into the abyss of rhythm.
Katran is like a shark in the ocean of music: silent, precise, and always beneath the surface.
Every drop is a ripple. Every buildup, a rising wave.
Deep, dark, and hypnotic — Katran doesn’t follow the current. He creates it.
Born in the depths. Raised by rhythm. This is melodic techno and trance with teeth.

All the covers of my sets are made with flowers or fruit. Why? Probably because I also love photography and macro photography. So, I decided to make covers with my photos of flowers that I was lucky enough to make.

Lives in Pembrokeshire Wales. Loves travel, sunshine, the ocean, music and reading 🤩

A label founded and curated by Above & Beyond.
