On 13th December 2021, Above & Beyond were on top of the world. Or, as high as you can get with a whole bunch of electronic equipment that needs to be carried up 708 steps to a summit 656 feet above sea level. The two time Grammy nominated London-based trio were performing on the summit of the Rock of Guatapé at La Piedra del Peñol Guatapé in Colombia, in a performance for live streaming platform Cercle.

The opening track was ‘Morning In Deira’. Not only was the rippling piano instrumental – a near-six-minute quiet-is-the-new-loud anthem – a freshly written composition from a beloved band, it would also be the flagship song for a new (ad)venture under the Anjuna umbrella; the company founded by Above & Beyond in 2000 to release their music and home to two labels, Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep.

Five months on, ‘Morning In Deira’, backed by another new Above & Beyond song ‘Time Heals’, is the launch release of Reflections. The songs deftly set the tone for this new, third label from the Anjunafamily. 

Reflections will be the home to the South London-based organisation’s ambient, downtempo and alternative catalogue, a fresh imprint that represents the “chill” arm of a suite of labels that are as prolific as they are successful.

Songwriters first, producers second, Above & Beyond’s unwavering commitment to their craft has fuelled a career that many electronic artists today might only dream of: four acclaimed studio albums, 14 compilation albums, two ‘acoustic’ albums, a stand-alone album for yoga and meditation and an original motion picture film score - not to mention innumerable club cuts and dance remixes.

The Superfast XI

There is truly no experience quite like the Superfast XI. As we sat around our luggage at the port and watched the ship come in (at midnight), thousands of cars, people, animals, babies and every manner of cargo began crowding in anticipation. As she docked, there was a mad rush of people to be first on - toddlers getting passed overhead and nonnas shovin nonnos out of the way in order to get the best spot.

The 15hr hour ferry could only be described as a lawless wasteland on water. It looked like a mass murder scene from Final Destination - endless limbs, possessions, animals and people scattered everywhere, passed out from heat, sweat and exhaustion (or on their way).

The ingenuity of humanity was on display as people assembled the most amazing sleeping tech from the random collection of objects they could find aboard. There were seasoned sailors with chairs, benches, tents, hammocks and air mattresses turning into the hottest real estate for one night.

I spent most of that night writing this track. Without intention I wrote the angriest, most carnal beat I've ever produced and I think it’s got a lot to do with the Superfast XI experience.

After a windy, hot, sticky and altogether uncomfortable 1hr of sleep, the sun rose and a beautiful day dawned. At 11am, the previously non-existent staff filled the pool - which until this point had been empty with a net over the top (some brave soldier slept on it). I was first in, washing away the entire evenings sweat, salt and any concerns before returning to the chaos for the final hour of the trip.

Somehow this ended up in the track - the middle liquid section was a happy accident I composed before it happened IRL.

I’ll honestly never forget the Superfast XI. Images of people strewn everywhere on the boat, cry-laughing with friends, dancing at sunrise and that sweet sweet dip in the pool flash in my mind every time I play it.

Lyrics:

Now let us be one
Aiming for that home run
No, my friends weren't there
Through the dire straits, mmh
Fall took that summer
First cold breeze
Your warming chest
Darker skies
And my lonely shadow
As a dancing silhouette
Mirrored in your eye

The killing sun
Merge us from two into one
Warm beams strike us
The killing sun
Accepting to become one
Now I know you really want me

You really want me

It’s not that I had no one
I just felt unknown
I didn't walk the line
Most of the time
I felt confined
And I was told I'd end up alone
That chased me
Still does today
I alienate
So I never thought
I’d be one with someone
I'd be one with someone like you

The killing sun
Merge us from two into one
Warm beams strike us
The killing sun
Accepting to become one
Now I know you really want me

You really want me
The killing sun
You really want me

Album cover by https://soundcloud.com/galentipton.
Limited edition of 55 C34 tapes with on-body printing pro-dubbed by Headless Duplicated Tapes.

"The album is a poignant snapshot of the state of electronic music as of 2020, inspired by the weight of hardcore subcultures being rediscovered, subconscious pop culture references, reflections on economic, political, and social structures in a hopeless search for meaningful communitarian experiences, glittering social anxiety, dystopian paranoia, and much much more." (https://soundcloud.com/paynomindtous)

"adammmmmmmmmmmm's album is a multifaceted, dense complete piece, using processed dance floor idioms, sharp granular sound design and some very unusual sample selection ranging from euphoric trance to bratty pop punk/sad boys vocals. It’s wild af and we hope you will like it as much as we do." (https://soundcloud.com/mixmag-1)

“adammmmmmmmmmmm’s new album fuses euphoric dance music arpeggios and vocal snippets that were wrenched from the pop-punk autotune-emo-sad-boy continuum at an advanced point of synthesis." (https://soundcloud.com/pw-magazine)

In "ok im real i think" (GEN041), adammmmmmmmmm plays a high-stakes game of far-reaching density, acceleration and saturation. Instantly blasting off, this album is a showcase in extreme kick drum technology, a detuned synth stab pandaemonium, a granular fission chamber full of dense clicking sounds, seemingly originating from some digital slime dimension. This notion of saturation is not just in reference to the in-your-face full spectrum sound approach, a conceptual saturation procedure is notably at play too, via euphoric dance music arpeggios and vocal snippets snatched somewhere on an advanced synthesis point of the pop punk-autotune emo-sad boy continuum. This way, a high velocity sense of conceptual concentration is obtained, with extreme stretching modes resulting in chipmunk chatterings and source material skrewed beyond all decent reason. But don't let these suggestions of multiplicity and apparent incongruence create the illusion this is just a particularly goofy and extreme collage exercise: relentless energy and coherent construction lift this up to the level of an alluring complete entity.

// adammmmmmmmmmmm (https://soundcloud.com/helllllllllo) about the album
“ok im real i think is an affectively charged tangle of sounds that fabulates fragmented worlds, reminding us that the individual is a product of the collective. The intimate energy manifested through the natural-physical-virtual-digital materialization of sound finds its way into your ears, skull, body and mind. adammmmmmmmmmmm invites you to decompose into its eclectic, collective nature and dissociate so that we can heal together. We are closer than we think, close your eyes, and let these tracks massage you until you decay.”

// https://soundcloud.com/galentipton about the cover design
“The piece depicts a figure baptized in collective chaos, simultaneously emerging from and dissolving into this raw emotional energy. I wanted to capture the maximalism and drama of the project and how overwhelming yet grounded it is; a vat of healing acid for the listener to sink into and find peace in being one with the storm.”
