One of the most prolific label regulars of recent times, Brazil’s Scorz graces Armin van Buuren’s Armind label with a double dose of sonic perfection. From the progressive-oriented, vocal-infused ‘Because Of You’ to the intriguing atmospheric and melodious capabilities of ‘Orpheus’, this two-part release shows yet again why Scorz is one of the scene’s hottest talents.

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.

Release Date: 16th November 2022

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
