“There shouldn't have been a debut album on Anjunabeats, gardenstate shouldn’t have existed, and we should have stuck to our normal day job. This album is to everyone out there who has been told that ‘you can’t do it’.”

Be it through passion, determination, or just sheer stubbornness, gardenstate continues to bloom. A transatlantic labour of love from superproducer Marcus Schössow and club promoter Matt Felner, their debut album ‘Inspirations’ is out October 15 on Above & Beyond’s Anjunabeats imprint. 

At the heart of Sweden’s decade-long domination of club music in the 2010s, Marcus’ fifteen-year-long career boasts a smörgårdsbord of styles. You’ve got electro with ‘Swedish Beatballs’, the mainstage energy of ‘Reverie’ and ‘Ulysses’, and the driving progressive of ‘London / 1985’. Few artists have record sleeves from Axtone, Armada, Size, Spinnin’ and Anjunadeep in their catalogue. Heavily invested in the early 2010’s big room sound, he was a permanent feature in the sets of Swedish House Mafia and Knife Party. 

New Jersey native Matt Felner gave up his blue-collar job to follow his passion for electronic music. A respected promoter and performer, he’s brought emerging artists to the clubs of New York and the East Coast. In 2008, he toured Marcus Schössow and they became close friends.

Making music on their own terms, the gardenstate sound is a melting pot of ‘90s trance nostalgia, brooding melodic techno, peak-time breaks and poignant song writing. Few acts can worm their way into the DJ sets of Kölsch, Cristoph, Tiestö and Above & Beyond at the same time. 

Releases on Joris Voorn’s Spectrum Records and Yotto’s Odd One Out have nurtured an underground following, while reworks of A&B and Gabriel & Dresden have introduced them to the trance and progressive crowd.

Opening track ‘Aurora’, co-produced with Paavo from Above & Beyond and featuring vocals from Nandini Srikar, is a love letter to the life-affirming experience Marcus had playing in India. Paavo’s studio was also the birthplace for ‘Revival’, a collaboration with Gabriel & Dresden, Andy Moor and PROFF, while long time friends SØNIN and West Of The Sun (Leon Bolier) join Marcus and Matt for ‘Koski’. 

‘Respondez-moi’, a dance floor reworking of Switzerland’s 2020 Eurovision entry, partners Marcus and Matt with Gjon’s Tears, who finished third in this year’s competition.

There’s a heavy breaks influence across the album, including ‘1995’, and BBC Radio 1-endorsed ‘Take Me There’ with GVN, Anjunabeats 750th catalogue release.

gardenstate’s debut album ‘Inspirations’ is out now on Anjunabeats. They join Above & Beyond for Group Therapy 450 live from The Drumsheds London on September 4, in addition to two sold out Red Rocks shows on October 21/22.

The Anjunabeats Rising EP series returns for its 13th instalment, featuring new music from Laura van Dam, Luccio & Rune Noire, and Supernature.

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 introduced over 40 new acts to the label during 2021, including GVN, Alex Sonata & TheRio, Naz, Stephen Kirkwood, HRRTZ, Bexxie and more. After a brief hiatus, the series now returns.

Labelled by 1001tracklists.com as the 'future of dance', Amsterdam's Laura van Dam honed her production skills whilst working as an A&R for Doorn Records, graduating onto the label in 2019 with 'Skyfly'. 'Set Me Free' is the first of several tracks you'll be hearing from Laura on Anjunabeats this year - she also joins us at Group Therapy Weekender London this September.

A producer and DJ based in Miami, Luccio has supported some of trance's biggest names at shows across the Magic City. He teams up with Rune Noire on 'Try', first heard on Fatum's Anjunabeats Worldwide 10 compilation.

Rounding off the EP are UK duo Supernature, aka Kevin Thorpe and Zed Sinclair. 'Somewhere In Time' pays homage to a wide selection of Kevin and Zed's influences, including CamelPhat, Tangerine Dream, 80's sci-fi and filmmaker Christopher Nolan.

Anjunabeats Rising Volume 13 is out now on Anjunabeats.

Laura van Dam - Set Me Free

Black Heart

Black Heart (Sunny Lax Extended Remix)

After setting things alight with 'In Silence', 'Hold Onto This' and 'Changing Fast' on A State of Trance, Dutch duo Hel:sløwed make their grand debut on Armin van Buuren's Armind Recordings. On 'If You Only Knew', Michael de Kooker and Misja Helsloot employ their famed progressive sound for a brilliant vocal piece - featuring the platinum award-winning duo Amber Revival. Drenched in heartfelt emotion, ‘If You Only Knew’ brings a captivating blend of trance and melodic house/deep house that encapsulates the artists' musical evolution. With powerful lyrics, prestigious vocal allure, and the melancholy of sweet surrender, ‘If Only You Knew' hits the soul with surgical precision.

A personal note from Hel:sløwed:

In the world of music producers, there's always that one track where everything aligns perfectly—your past, present, and your vision for the future. "If You Only Knew" is that track for us. It's deep, melodic, and emotional, yet uplifting and inspiring. It takes you on a journey and then embraces and soothes you. This is a reflection of everything we've been doing as Hel:sløwed and the principles we hold dear - fun, freedom, open-mindedness, and acceptance.

We were fortunate to collaborate with the talented Netta and Arie of Amber Revival, and it's been nothing short of magical. Their vocals blend seamlessly with our instrumental, capturing the essence of the track brilliantly. The lyrics, the vocal performance, and the harmonious interplay between Netta and Arie.We hope you enjoy this track as much as we do and that it finds a special place in your playlists and sets. Your support means the world to us, and we can't wait for you to embark on this musical journey with us.With love from Misja and Michael from Hel:sløwed, and Netta & Arie from Amber Revival.

If You Only Knew

"When we first started making music together in 2001, we bonded over our mutual love of techno.

Finding a way to blend that raw sound with our emotional side feels like magic to us. We hope it takes you somewhere special." - Josh Gabriel & Dave Dresden

With Nueva's 83rd release, we have yet another emotional and driving track from producer Marcel Placinta, a.k.a. PM AttitudE. Featuring his latest track 'Evolva', a prog-tech piece that carries with it a spectrum of emotion that we are pleased to share with you all!

Prepare for an other-worldy, deep 'Evolva'-lution as the beautiful, meandering piano atmosphere intro drops into an upbeat, yet darker journey. The twisted tech elements, breaching their way in and out of the track, outline what feels like the almost 'damaged allure' of PM AttitudE's overall melodic concept for the song. 

The perfect fusion of ethereal uplifting melodic and tech influences in this release present both dancefloors and solo listeners alike space and driving 4/4 time to evolve!

Meet Marco & Dirk...
Marco & Dirk: the brothers Duderstadt have tasted dichotomous success as both an internationally famous chart-topping act and as a renowned & respected underground trance production outfit... All at the same time. 

In 2001 Marco & Dirk began to pull off one of the hardest tricks in the music industry book... Taking advantage of the relative anonymity that the 'Fragma' name had provided, they began quietly inventing their side-project: 'Duderstadt'... A credible Ying to their chart-busting Yang... Starting out gradually they produced remixes for the likes of Monoculture & Blank & Jones under their new moniker. After remixing for the latter's Gang: Go imprint they released their first single 'Sunrise' on the label in 2003. 2005 & 2006 brought the follow-up singles 'Mahananda' & 'Mahanjala' and a change of labels to fast-growing German imprint Afterglow Records. DJ support started to grow as luminaries like PVD, Armin & Ferry Corsten threw their weight behind the tracks. The Anita Kelsey vocalled 'Smile' was released in early 2007, scooping both the 'Tune of the Week' & 'Future Favourite' gongs on Armin van Buuren's ASOT show. In addition it also made 'Web Vote Winner' on Above & Beyond's TATW. Their latest single 'Beattitude' (vocalled by Opus 3's Kirsty Hawkshaw) has just been released to similarly widespread acclaim.

The brothers have also co-written and produced tracks for other artists of the likes of Alex Morph & Rank 1 (Life Less Ordinary), Woody van Eyden & Alex Morph's 'Heavenly' & Plastic Angel's Call The Galaxy Taxi' and they continue to carve out a name for themselves as remixers, reworking tracks for labels like Blackhole, Vandit, Anjunabeats & Solaris.

As DJs, Marco & Dirk have been spinning together from as far back as 1993. After the success of Fragma in 2000, they have played at gigs in the UK, Australia, USA, Canada, South Africa, Panama, and all over Europe. Among the numerous highlights have been closing for Paul van Dyk on one of his Vandit Nights in 2007, The BCM Festival on Mallorca alongside Des Mitchell, 2001's Ministry of Sound in Capetown, South Africa, Germany's giant Nature One festival alongside Kyau & Albert, Ronski Speed & Menno de Jong and ASOT 400 party with Armin van Buuren.
