Reflections is the third label under the Anjuna umbrella, the company founded by two-time GRAMMY nominated trio Above & Beyond.

“Reflections is born from all those moments in between the dancefloors - the mornings after, the nights apart, the journeys shared along the way. Those moments of Reflection” - Above & Beyond

In 2019, Reflections gave a name to a hugely successful downtempo compilation series on Anjunadeep. With the launch of the imprint, the second release kickstarts a new various artists EP series, welcoming a new era of talent to the Anjunafamily across the ambient, downtempo and alternative music spectrum, starting with ‘Reflections 01’.

‘Reflections 01’ features six stunning original compositions from Moldovan producer Michael FK, six piece collective Northling, British producer Sleep Surgeon, audiovisual artist Lyndsie Alguire, Montréal producer Lost In City and Leeds based composer Jessie Marcella.

‘Erased Dreams’ is the first full-length, low-tempo project from Yotto. The Helsinki-based artist is well-known for his thunderous DJ sets and deep, bass-heavy house productions, but with ‘Erased Dreams’, Yotto reveals another side to himself.

The 8-track ambient album, released on Anjunadeep’s new sister label Reflections, may seem like a departure from Yotto’s usual style, but he’s always made music like this. With Reflections, he finally found a home for it.

Throughout his sparkling career, which includes a Billboard #1 LP and official remixes for artists like Joris Voorn, Gorillaz, and Coldplay, Yotto has produced ambient tracks to help him look inward and recharge his creative battery. But when COVID hit, his inner world took over. “At first, I was being really productive with club music,” Yotto says, speaking from his home in Helsinki. “But then after a while, I started making something completely opposite.” Yotto found himself exploring a different form of expression, and didn’t have a plan other than to create. But when he put the tracks side-by-side in a playlist he recognized a synergy, and the outline of the project began to take shape.

The result is more of a continuous soundscape than an album; an ethereal and dreamy experience designed to accompany the listener as they turn inward and drift away. If club music is a form of escape, then this is too – but instead of turning outward, we lose ourselves inward.

The structure was inspired by The KLF’s 1990 album Chill Out – a concept album written as a sonic journal to document the band’s road trip across America. Yotto says ‘Erased Dreams’ is structured like a journal, too, and acts as a documentation of his inner workings and sentiments during the lockdown. So it makes sense that an over-arching theme is one of repetition and continuity.

Yotto found the experience of creating this album surprisingly liberating. He spent his whole career being defined by a certain sound, and with ‘Erased Dreams’ he’s revealing how much more there is to him as an artist – a sentiment that’s reflected in the album title. “This music usually gets deleted or erased or pushed to the side because I’m focusing on something clubby,” he says. “And it all sounds very dreamy and nostalgic.”

There’s a common string tying every track in ‘Erased Dreams’ together – the same one that ties Yotto’s ambient and club productions. There’s a crispness and simplicity to his style that makes all of his work instantly recognisable and undeniably Yotto.

Club music will always be at the core of Yotto’s work, but his ambient catalog will no longer sit in the shadows. Together, these parallel forms of expression don’t dilute Yotto’s artistry; they make it even stronger.

Release date: 25th July 2022

Electronic music heavyweight Martin Roth will release his second full-length, piano-led album ‘Mono No Aware’ on Reflections this fall, the new sister label of Anjunadeep. Roth is well-known for his ability to glide between genres while maintaining a distinct, instantly-identifiable style, and his new release is no exception. With this 13-track album, Roth moves away from the club space and into his classical pianist background to explore themes of impermanence, fatherhood and simplicity.

Roth prefers to describe the album as minimalistic rather than ambient with each track stripped back to create space for one leading sound, instrument or melody. This results in an immersive listening experience, and instead of being pulled in multiple directions, we’re gently led to wherever Roth wants us to go.

Joining the Anjuna label family back in 2008 with a remix of Above & Beyond’s trance anthem ‘Miracle’ on Anjunabeats, Martin Roth has since provided numerous standout moments within the Anjunadeep back catalogue including ‘Have You Ever’, ‘Organic Brewed Hipster Funk’ and 2012 label classic ‘Beautiful Life’. During lockdown, while Anjunadeep launched their series of ambient VA compilations, Roth moved from club to piano-led music and the release of his first full-length downtempo album, ‘An Analog Guy In A Digital World’.

Roth says it’s no coincidence his two full-length albums are classical-leaning. His emotions pour out his hands and into the piano, and ‘Mono No Aware’ is an amalgamation of these stories and experiences. He began the writing process in mid-2021 while the world was still under COVID’s thumb, and says lockdown in Germany was the perfect backdrop to write an album steeped in melancholia. The nostalgia and impermanence even extends to the name – ‘Mono No Aware’ is a Japanese phrase which means awareness that everything fades away.

The first single from the album is ‘Alicia’s Noir’, a haunting piano piece, inspired by cinematic scores and epic soundscapes.

‘Alicia’s Noir’ is out now on Reflections.

British six-piece collective Northling share the second single from their forthcoming EP ‘Tycho’ with ‘Fawkes’. 

‘Fawkes’ was written in just one sitting, capturing delicate, raw emotion with lyrical themes of resilience and hardship. The band’s latest offering is a powerful slow burning orchestral composition, showcasing their live instrumentation alongside sweeping strings and brass arrangements paired with Joe’s brooding topline vocal.

Originating as an improvisational band in 2017, Northling’s distinctive blend of nu-jazz and indie electronica has quickly earned them recognition from the likes of BBC Radio 1, 6 Music and BBC Introducing.

Reflections presents the second instalment of their new various artists EP series with ‘Reflections 02’, welcoming a new wave of ambient and downtempo talent to the Anjunafamily roster.

Opening ‘Reflections 02’ is Paris-based producer Douran with a beat-less cinematic revision of his 2021 Anjunadeep release ‘Passing Lights’, followed by classically-trained composer Stelios Vassiloudis with ‘Nowhere To Go’. Next up, British producer Simon Shackleton presents a new low-tempo rework of his track ‘Traumstaat’, having seen initial release on ‘Anjunadeep 13’ earlier this year.

Another familiar face to the Anjuna roster, Igor Garanin makes his Reflections debut with an original production, ‘Daydreams’. Rounding off the packaging is US-based ambient producer Ann Annie, showcasing their flair for soft ambient productions through modulated synths and signature tape manipulated sounds with ‘Moons Apart’ (Reprise). Closing the EP is Dutch classical composer and producer Brombaer, with an ethereal original composition ‘Desert Stars’.
