Above & Beyond pres. OceanLab - Satellite (ilan Bluestone Remix)

Release Date: 10th July 2015

Fresh from Breaking Bad on the Main Stage of Electric Daisy Carnival (which saw Bryan Cranston resurrect his infamous Walter White character on stage with the band in front of 80,000 people), UK trio Above & Beyond release their latest single 'Counting Down The Days'. 

Taken from their Billboard dance number #1 album 'We Are All We Need', 'Counting Down The Days' is also Above & Beyond’s first track to feature the vocals of former Mercury Music awards nominee Gemma Hayes. 

"We first came across Gemma through a bootleg mix that found its way on to our Group Therapy radio show ," said the band's Jono Grant. "Coming from a folk background, her voice has an honesty and emotion to it that really stood out from the pack and felt a perfect match for this song co-written with Victoria Horn." 

Set against a laidback summer groove, Gemma's hazy vocal tones perfectly capture the melancholia of the drifting relationship on the Radio Edit. 

A tried and tested favourite from their headline sets across the globe everywhere from the L.A. Forum to London's Brixton Academy, Above & Beyond's Club Mix is a high energy affair that showcases the immediacy and emotion of a peak time A&B set in style.

"The Anamnesis Trilogy is all about reviving, reinterpreting and reimagining what I feel are classic - and lost - messages and motifs in trance and progressive. In this EDM-era, big room music has become obsessed with high impact, instant gratification and, to be honest, absolutely uninspiring and boring arrangements. I was listening back over my favourite trance and progressive records, and remembering when dance music was about a sense of journey and progression. Records where there was more than just a breakdown and Bro-DM drops... records where you sometimes moved across what felt like three different - and equally mind-expanding - records just to get the REAL moment in the track. The three records in the Anamnesis Trilogy are all inspired by this sensibility and era, but 2015 Bayer style." ~Andrew Bayer

"Nobody Told Me" is released on 2nd October as a Beatport exclusive.

Having begun the year with the release of their critically acclaimed and Best Dance Record Grammy nominated third LP 'We Are All We Need’, Above & Beyond cap off their most prolific year yet with ‘Anjunabeats Volume 12’.

With the label's biggest North American tour set to take place early in 2016, Above & Beyond present two mixes of forward-thinking sounds that demonstrate their commitment to rich the melodic sounds that have earned the label cult status with fans, industry and musicians alike. 

With a nod to the deep, emotive house music that has seen sister label Anjunadeep flourish in recent years, CD1 features the hypnotic sounds of the Howling, Cubicolor and Lane 8, as well as one of Oliver Smith’s deeper offerings and some slow burning, progressive magic from Jaytech. Elsewhere Vintage & Morelli, Third Party (under their TP guise) and Leu Leu Land make their Anjuna debuts, with Sunny Lax, Kyau & Albert and Jason Ross all contributing more energetic offerings. 

The much awaited return of Above & Beyond and Justine Suissa’s OceanLab project heads up CD2 with a gorgeous stripped back version of ‘Another Chance’; previously debuted in club mix form at ABGT150. The newest member of the Anjuna team, Grum, adds his unmistakable progressive sound, former Norin & Rad star Nick Sember hits new heights and the ever-ascendant Ilan Bluestone teams up with find-of-the-year vocalist Giuseppe de Luca for ‘Bigger Than Love’. 

In keeping with tradition of being included on every Anjunabeats Volume compilation to date, mainstay Oliver Smith features again with his 2nd more clubbier offering and Above & Beyond themselves offer a string of personal productions including the head-turning ‘A.I’. and remixes of Faithless and Jean Michel Jarre & Tangerine Dream.

""Love Is Not Enough" is a song from the heart about the challenges in a relationship that can arise outside of a core feeling of love for someone. Love is not enough to be with someone - a relationship needs to "work" day to day." Jono Grant, Above & Beyond

A poignant tale of a deep love that wasn't quite to be, Above & Beyond's "Love Is Not Enough" ( feat. Zoë Johnston ) is the the latest single from the widely acclaimed album "Group Therapy" - last year described by Mixmag as "artist album of the year".

An elegant, melodic progressive builder with stirring strings and poignant vocals from Zoë Johnston , "Love Is Not Enough" perfectly captures the bittersweet beauty of intense, but ultimately unsuccessful relationships.

Adding a stadium-sized energy to the track, the huge, groove-fuelled Above & Beyond Club Mix is also included in all its riff-driven glory - and has been receiving huge responses on the trio's recent North America tour.

Maor Levi & Bluestone add their own big room trance 2.0 twist on things, US house heavyweight Kaskade contributes an uplifting house remix, while the prolific prodigy Mat Zo contributing a future funk drum & bass remix under his MRZO guise. An ethereal bass interperation from Synkro completes the package.

Crafting a record that ignites festivals dancefloors worldwide? Well, it’s not brain surgery. It is, however, ‘Rocket Science’.

Debuted for 23 000 fans at the Gorge Amphitheater last September, Above & Beyond present their latest, inimitable formula for dancefloor propulsion. Tweaked and tinkered in the rarefied environment of their Hello studio, Anjunabeats Propulsion Labs predict the track will achieve an optimal angle for atmospheric re-entry on September 7.

‘Rocket Science’ will touch down in time for Jono, Tony and Paavo’s Group Therapy 300 weekend in Hong Kong. The main event at AsiaWorld-Expo will be broadcast live on the Above & Beyond’s Youtube, Facebook, Twitter and Twitch with mainland China able to enjoy the livestream on Netease. FM Radio stations worldwide will carry the vibe to millions around the world.

Dance music… it’s not rocket science, unless it is.

There are few artists that embody the DNA of Anjunabeats quite like ilan Bluestone; a passionate performer whose onstage presence is as emotive as his songwriting.

With his heart firmly on his sleeve, 2018 saw the release of ilan’s debut album ’Scars’ (an instant classic for Anjunabeats) and a worldwide album tour. His year culminated in a rousing show-closer at Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy 300 celebrations in Hong Kong.

2019 begins with another bold statement from ilan Bluestone: six original productions on a new EP entitled, ‘We Are The Universe’.

A mix of vocal-led and instrumental trance cuts, the release reflects ilan’s passion for energetic, innovative dance music.
The first single is a fan favourite from ilan’s New Year club run and recent Above & Beyond shows: ‘Mama Africa’ featuring EL Waves.

Bearing the prestigious ‘tronce’ seal (that's British for ‘trance’) ‘Mama Africa’ delivers an ilan Bluestone-sized hit of driving rhythmic bass, cascading layers of synth and the return of collaborator EL Waves (Elizabeth Osei) for another stunning vocal performance.

Elizabeth explains how the track draws heavily from her cultural roots, “This is a song of love and blessing for my mother, father and loved ones. In Akan culture we recognise the sacrifices that each individual makes when raising children of the next generation, passing down wisdom from old to new. Sending out blessings is something we do to show love and appreciation and to say thank you.”

ilan Bluestone ‘Mama Africa’ featuring EL Waves is set for release on Anjunabeats on the 19th of February with the full EP arriving this spring.

The accompanying ‘We Are The Universe’ world tour sees ilan travel to Australia, North America and Europe, including multiple dates across the Anjunabeats 2019 North American tour. (ilanbluestone.com)

The one we’ve all been hoping for is actually here. Armind and Anjunabeats are pleased to announce ‘Show Me Love’, the manifestation of what could be the most awe-inspiring dance music pairing of the decade. Juggling impactful, arena-shuddering rhythmics, a gorgeous, piano-led breakdown and a heavenly melody engineered for excitement, this is the brand-new collaborative record from none other than Above & Beyond and Armin van Buuren.

One of Anjunabeats blue chip heavyweights, James ‘Jimbo’ Cayzer, a.k.a. Jaytech, returns to to the label with two fresh progressive weapons.

The new double A-side is yet another polished outing from the Australia born, Seattle based, producer. ‘Batumi’ reunites Jimbo with ‘Show You’ vocalist Tommy Murphy for a euphoric one-two punch, whilst ‘Tigerlily’ marries classic house pianos with a tech heavy production.

Anjunabeats Volume 14 is the latest chapter in a story spanning many years, each mix an epochal statement piece rewarding those who listen closely with an incisive take on the sounds that will define Anjuna dancefloors this year.

Sketched on the road and in their London studio, the mix album coalesced in scarce periods of calm amidst a whirlwind of giddying career highs: the band’s 2018 album ‘Common Ground’ reached #3 in the Official Billboard Album chart while an accompanying tour saw the trio travel to every corner of the globe. Above & Beyond's two label imprints, Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep, continued to grow in stature and scale at a rate that continues to defy expectations.

Joining the dots between the intimate sound of Anjunadeep and the stadium-sized productions found on Anjunabeats, Volume 14 once sees Above & Beyond craft a mesmerising journey through forward-thinking electronic music. The two disc, 34-track mix includes exclusive selections from their ever expanding Anjuna family of artists as well as original contributions from the band themselves.

Grum’s broadcasts from the ‘Deep State’ go live.

Continuing to redefine and reinvigorate the sound of trance and progressive music, Grum finally pulls back the curtain on ‘Deep State’, his brand new artist album out now on Anjunabeats.

Reflecting the unsettling times we live in, ‘Deep State’ has moments of light and dark. It’s a showcase of Grum’s ability to craft pitch-black progressive and immersive vocal pop. The 10-track album is a refined take on the current state of progressive trance.

With tinges of classic trance and 90’s rave culture across the record, Grum embraces vintage dance floor ideas in a thoroughly modern way. Acid-edged summer hit ‘Stay’ introduces Natalie Shay to the dance music world, also lending her voice to the anthemic LP closer ‘Afterglow’. ‘Running’ sees Grum partner with the soulful voice of London’s Jinadu, while Dom Youdan muses on the monotony of modern life with ‘Tomorrow’. ‘Home’, featuring Nicole Dash Jones, provides a deeper moment the mix, before the intensity of ‘Genesis’ and ‘Altered State’ take over.

‘Deep State’ is available to download and stream now, with CD and limited edition signed vinyl available via the Anjuna Music Store. (https://Anjunabeats.lnk.to/GDSPr)

Taking transmissions worldwide, Grum’s 'Deep State Rewired’ album tour kicked off with an all night rave at London’s Steel Yard, before heading to North America this November. Grum returns to the U.K. for Warehouse Project Manchester, plus Anjunabeats showcases in Birmingham and Glasgow. Deep State Rewired shows continue into the new year with tickets available at http://anjunabeats.com/deepstate.

Debuted to the world at their Group Therapy 350 celebrations in Prague in October 2019, Above & Beyond's Club Mix of ‘Bittersweet & Blue’ is out today.

The band is joined once again by Richard Bedford, the voice of Anjuna classics such as ‘Alone Tonight’ and ’Sun & Moon’. ‘Bittersweet & Blue’ was an introspective moment on A&B's 2018 album ‘Common Ground’, which debuted at number three on the Billboard Top 100 album chart. Reflecting on themes of hope, ambition and absence, sometimes getting what you want isn’t the fulfilment you wished for. The trio’s arena-tested Club Mix is out now to buy and stream (alongside the original mix) on Anjunabeats.

A stand-out track from their recent #1 iTunes Dance Album "Anjunabeats Volume 10", Above & Beyond's "Walter White" is the trio's most recent club anthem.

Inspired by the lead character from the band's favourite TV programme, "Walter White" goes on a journey through many moods - just like the man himself.

Starting off with a powerful, progressive-meets-tech groove, "Walter White" leads into a classy melodic breakdown, before crashing into the darkness with insistent, stabbing synths. 

A club monster that brings together the many sides of Above & Beyond, "Walter White" has already been tested to devastating effect in all of the Anjunabeats bosses' recent sets - including their main-stage show at the recent Ultra Festival.
