Earlier this year, emotive imprint Anjunadeep welcomed We Are The Brave label boss Alan Fitzpatrick to the fold with his single ‘Warning Signs’. A deviation from his typical sound, the track saw Fitzpatrick experiment with deeper and more soulful influences from across electronica, breakbeat, dub and house. The result was a track that sits comfortably among the soulful Anjunadeep catalogue. 

The track was followed by a standout remix from GRAMMY-nominated duo, CamelPhat, who took an eclectic approach to reworking ‘Warning Signs’. Having collaborated and remixed some of the biggest names in modern music, such as London Grammar, Foals’ Yannis Philippakis and Cristoph; CamelPhat have become one of the world’s most sought-after electronic acts. 

‘The Remixes’ package, out in July, features a new remix from Italian-born, Berlin-based duo, Mind Against. Stalwarts of Tale Of Us’ Afterlife label, the pair’s techno roots and flair for seamlessly mixing gentle percussion with vibrant synths makes for an emotive and stirring rework.

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.

K-MRK & Harry Diamond, Chris Giuliano and Tygris feature on the latest edition in the series, Anjunabeats Rising Volume 8.

K-MRK and Harry Diamond collide on ‘Inner Ghosts’. The track is the latest in a string of collaborations between them - their previous releases together have been supported by Tiësto, Annie Mac, Danny Howard, Pete Tong and more. Harry may be a familiar name to some of our Anjunafamily, through his 2011 collaboration with Darren Tate and Nicolai, ‘Electrified’.

Elliptical Sun regular Chris Giuliano is another talent that has been in our orbit for several years. His 2019 release ‘Dream You’ found its way into Above & Beyond’s record bag, and his music has featured heavily on Group Therapy Radio over the years. He’s teamed up with Natalie Major on ‘Running With The Wind’.

Rounding off the EP is another brand new Anjunabeats signing: Sydney’s Tygris. He arrives into our label family following releases on Enhanced Progressive, Colorize and Auditory Recordings.

Anjunabeats Rising Volume 8 is out now on Anjunabeats.

A fan favourite remix from Group Therapy 450, Oliver Smith takes on gardenstate’s ‘By Your Side’.

One of three new Oliver Smith productions debuted by A&B at their Group Therapy 450 celebrations, his remix of ‘By Your Side’ is another masterclass in modern, progressive trance.

Release Date: 19th November 2021

Multiple Grammy-award winning writer, composer, producer, and performer William Orbit is considered a pioneer of electronic music and one of contemporary pop’s most innovative artists. He now returns with a 4-track EP ‘Starbeam’ set for release December 1st via Anjunadeep, with the single of the same name out today, November 19th. 
 
In a career spanning 40 years, his influence is insurmountable. Producing some of pop music’s most seminal records - Madonna’s ‘Ray Of Light’ and ‘MDNA’, Blur’s ‘13’, Robbie Williams’ ‘Rudebox’, Finley Quaye’s ‘Dice’, Pink’s ‘Feel Good Time’ and All Saints’ ‘Testament’ to name a few - he has won 3 Grammy Awards and been nominated a further 5 times, with work on albums by U2, Britney Spears, Beth Orton, Queen, and Michael Jackson. Immersed in classical, pop, and electronic worlds, his contributions to contemporary music illustrate a great cadence of alchemic studio fusions and what he calls ‘curating serendipity’. Returning with the 4-track EP ‘Starbeam’, William’s first solo release in seven years, this marks his Anjunadeep debut. 
 
His first solo release in seven years, ’Starbeam’ is the latest triumph in a career that’s birthed 11 solo studio albums and 7 ensemble albums as a member of Bassomatic, Strange Cargo, and Torch Song, and the influential Guerrilla Records label. Demonstrating his soulful ear for authenticity and creativity, ’Starbeam’ is an all-enveloping musical journey that sends the listener hurtling through the stratosphere. Mastered in Dolby Atmos 360 audio, ’Starbeam’ conveys William's unquenched fascination into the minute details and continued refusal to stop experimenting. 
 
As impressive as it is, William’s production work is only one aspect of a life spent entrenched in the forefront of the electronic landscape, pushing the music and culture further and further beyond its perceived dancefloor boundaries. As one of the most influential forefathers of the essential post-rave and back-to-mine soundtrack, his ambient, downbeat ‘Strange Cargo’ album series was intrinsically rooted and referenced in the 90s ambient, chill-out, and Balearic movements. Similarly, William’s 1995 seminal album ‘Pieces In A Modern Style’ conveyed a never-before-seen fusion of classical and electronic, where classical arrangements were transposed in the most modern and futuristic way, laying the foundations that composers such as Nils Frahm and Jon Hopkins build on today. His work in this field remains matchless, yet was created with no formal training in musical theory whatsoever. With a combination of his soulful ear for authenticity, scientific eye for schematics, an innovative ability to join consistent dots between disparate worlds in a transient universe, and a spirit for breaking rules; William Orbit is a maverick conductor, engineer, and artist with an unquenched fascination into both the micro and macro details of anything he’s creating.

We’re pleased to announce the debut original release on Anjunabeats from Kasablanca, 'Immunity'.

This enigmatic melodic techno duo exploded onto the scene in summer 2020 with their Lane 8 collaboration, 'Run', a bonafide hit for both artists. As of January 2022, it’s been streamed nearly 18 million times on Spotify and charted at no.1 on SiriusXM BPM. 

Kasablanca's legend continues to grow. ‘Run’ was followed by their debut album 'Human Learning', and they've been touring globally ever since. The duo debuted their live show, replete with racks of modular synthesisers, at Red Rocks Amphitheater in September 2021 while supporting US bass superstar Rezz.

In December 2021, they joined us at Anjunabeats, remixing Above & Beyond's 'Black Room Boy' as part of the '10 Years of Group Therapy' celebrations. We're excited to reveal original music on the label from one of dance music's most intriguing acts.

Kasablanca 'Immunity' is out now on Anjunabeats, with the full 'Immunity EP' arriving March 18.

Myon returns to more familiar territory with a Club Mix of 'Moon', his and Alissa Feudo's fourth collaboration. 

Mario Egeto, aka Myon, has been in our orbit for many years. He’s been responsible for some of the finest vocal anthems in the Anjunabeats archive, including a series of singles from frequent collaborator Alissa Feudo: ‘Omen In The Rain’, ‘Perfect Ghost’ and ‘The Darkest Light’. ‘Moon’ is their latest single together, and explores a new side to Mario’s production talents.

Alongside Mario’s original output, he’s contributed many incredible remixes to Anjunabeats over the years. Myon and Shane 54’s rework of Velvetine’s ‘The Great Divide’ was played by Above & Beyond at their ABGT400 celebrations, reaffirming its treasured place in our discography.

Previewed during Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy 450 deep set in September 2021, Jonas is at his very best on the ‘Magnolia EP’. We're excited to see where Fehrplay takes us next.

Above & Beyond link up with Anjunabeats favourite Mat Zo, on their new collaborative single ‘Always Do’.

An ID from last summer's Group Therapy 450 celebration in London, ‘Always Do’ is a warehouse-ready blend of sounds from Above & Beyond and Mat Zo, complete with distorted vocals and acid-laden basslines. This is not the first time that Above & Beyond and Mat Zo have creatively crossed paths: Mat previously remixed A&B and Richard Bedford’s ‘Thing Called Love’ back in 2012.

‘Always Do’ kicks off Above & Beyond's busy musical schedule for 2022. It was road-tested extensively on the trio’s Anjunafamily Reunion Tour in autumn 2021, which visited all corners of North America, including a pair of sold-out nights at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

In December 2021, Above & Beyond were invited to perform an intimate, livestream DJ set at Piedra del Peñol in Guatape, Colombia for French YouTube sensation Cercle. The replay of their set has been watched nearly three million times on YouTube.

Mat Zo broke onto the scene in 2008 and has been causing an uproar ever since. In the early noughties, he penned Anjunabeats classics like ‘The Lost’ and ‘Synapse Dynamics’ which were far ahead of their time. They were followed by the likes of ‘Superman’, ‘The Sky’, and ‘Rebound’ (with ARTY). He pushed the Anjunabeats sound to the mainstage, racking up spins from Pete Tong, Axwell, and Armin van Buuren. His latest studio album, ‘Illusion of Depth’, was released on the label in October 2020.

Mat joins Anjunabeats at their upcoming label shows in London and Miami. Plus, he’ll be at The Gorge for Group Therapy Weekender 2022 in July, alongside fellow label stars Andrew Bayer, Genix, Oliver Smith, Trance Wax and more. 

Above & Beyond and Mat Zo ‘Always Do’ is out now on Anjunabeats.

Jon Gurd returns to Anjunadeep with the announcement of his latest album ‘Phoenix’, out on April 8th.

‘Phoenix’ follows the release of Jon’s acclaimed album ‘Lion’, out summer 2020, which reached #3 on the iTunes Dance chart and gained support from tastemaker DJs including Solomun, Stephen Bodzin, Adriatique, Ida Engberg and Shadow Child. Whilst ‘Lion’ explored themes of loss ‘Phoenix’ takes inspiration from themes of rebirth, marking the start of a new chapter.

“Phoenix was written during the UK lockdown last year. When things at home got to a pretty low point I asked myself what is the most empowering thing I can do right now and the answer was to make a new album. I’ve always wanted to make an album called Phoenix. I like the idea of rebirth and coming back stronger after big challenges.”

A respected selector and producer, Jon came through the UK underground in the early 2000s as resident DJ at the legendary Slinky in Bournemouth, warming up for the likes of Mauro Picotto and Paul Van Dyk. His early productions were championed by Paul Woolford, Sasha, Lee Burridge, James Zabiela, and Sander Kleinenberg, and Jon soon found himself travelling the world performing alongside the artists he’d been opening for not long before.

The announcement is paired with the release of first single ‘Emergence’. Blending intricate melodies with percussive laden grooves, ‘Emergence’ provides a taster for what is to come throughout the ten-track LP.

“A lot of the album is about getting close to the bone of feeling, a lot like Lion was in a way, but this time trying to translate old subconscious memories into feeling. Memories of euphoria when I just started clubbing 20 years ago. The excitement of discovering and dancing to music for the first time. The feeling of connection on the dance floor with people you’ve never met before. The after parties, the whole thing.”

In celebration of the album, Jon will be playing a headline show at Colours Hoxton, London on the 8th April., following successful sets at London’s iconic venues Fabric and Printworks. 

‘Phoenix’ is the latest album to be released on Anjunadeep, described by Billboard as “one of dance music’s ultimate tastemaker labels”. The label is known for discovering talents like Lane 8, Dusky, Yotto, and Ben Böhmer.

OLAN (real name Luzana Flores) has announced that her debut album ‘Contra’ will be released June 10 via independent record label Anjunadeep. The announcement comes alongside the release of the powerful lead single ‘Wake And Return’, out now.

The Georgia state native has a colourful songwriting catalogue, including co-writing credits for ‘Buss It’ for Ari Lennox, collaborations with Mat Zo on his 2020 album ‘Illusion of Depth’, the single release of ‘In Motion’ with rising star Nourey, and ‘Push’, first released on Anjunadeep’s Reflections series. Now, OLAN emerges from the uncertainty of the pandemic with her debut album.

The culmination of many months in solitude, ‘Contra’ began as a natural form of escape and expression for OLAN, helping her find peace amidst the years of uncertainty brought on by the pandemic:

“‘Contra’ is an album I wrote as a way to find some peace with my life having no definitive purpose at the time. I often try to attach meaning to everything I encounter. I force myself to re-live memories. I’ll try to unpack them and see how I could change my reality if I had just been a better person.”

Musically, ‘Contra’ is inculcated with a variety of electronic styles from melodic house, breakbeat, downtempo and drum & bass, to ambient and hip-hop. Influenced by the likes of Maribou State, Little Dragon, T.E.E.D and Bonobo, as well as the cult video game ‘Outer Wilds’, the sound of ‘Contra’ is fluid and alluringly hard to pin down. OLAN’s penchant for textural soundscapes is showcased in atmospheric tracks such as ‘Push’ and ‘Submerge’ and the buoyant Balearic vibes of ‘Material’. Conversely, the jungle rhythms and acid basslines on ‘Promise To Keep’ and ‘Reckoning’ demonstrate how raw, energetic dance-inducing songwriting comes naturally to the Atlanta-based producer.

The aforementioned themes of self-awareness and self-acceptance are persistent throughout the album, realised in OLAN’s considered lyrics. Opening track ‘Submerge’ contemplates the cyclical nature of life’s lessons, exclaiming “there’s no limit to the depth that I can relive it all”. Other tracks such as 'Promise To Keep' and 'Ultraviolet' raise questions about fulfilment and where it comes from - "I'm asking more questions / Taking no secrets / But is there a message / When nothing is sacred?". Each song presented a cathartic moment for Lu, as she explains:

“Making this album was the first time I could be present the grief, loneliness, or isolation I felt when my expectations didn’t match my surroundings. It made me realize how much happier I am when I detach from stories or specific outcomes.”

A gifted and classically trained musician who learnt her craft between orchestra classes and worship bands, OLAN prominently incorporated her own live instrumentation and vocals whilst recording the album. Suitably, Flores will take ‘Contra’ on tour live this year, with performances at Beyond Wonderland, Ultra, The Gorge Weekender, and alongside Ben Böhmer on his North American tour.

As a queer woman of colour, OLAN is used to standing out, however, it is her capacity for all-encompassing production, dynamic songwriting, singing, and instrumentation that really sets her apart from her contemporaries.

Release Date: 8th February 2021

Over the past 20 years, Above & Beyond and their label, Anjunabeats, have launched the careers of some electronic music’s most-respected names; Andrew Bayer, Arty, Audien, ilan Bluestone, Seven Lions and Mat Zo to name but 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. 

Hot on the heels of the inaugural Anjunabeats Rising release, which was supported by BBC Radio 1’s Danny Howard, Volume 2 features SØNIN, Mike Saint-Jules, and Dylhen.


Hailing from Finland, Anton Sonin (aka SØNIN) explores the sound of breakbeat and trance on ‘Titan’. Anton worked with Super8 & Tab on their iconic Anjunabeats single ‘Black Is The New Yellow’ from 2010, and collaborated with Yotto on ‘Nothing Like You’, which featured on Anjunadeep 10. 

A long time friend of the Anjunafamily with two official remixes under his belt New York’s Mike Saint-Jules makes his solo label debut with ‘Flares’. Mike has over a decade of production experience, with releases on Black Hole, Flashover and Vandit. He’s remixed Armin van Buuren, Gabriel & Dresden and Super8. ‘Flares’ has echoes of the classic, progressive Anjunadeep sound of the 2000s.

Rounding off the EP is Dylhen, who makes label debut with ‘Wanderlust’. A Group Therapy Radio regular, he’s a stalwart of the U.K’s underground progressive scene, with releases on Future Sound Of Egypt and Grum’s Deep State Recordings. He also released a cracking remix of Gabriel & Dresden’s ‘No One To Blame’ on Anjunabeats in 2020.

Anjunabeats Rising Volume 2 is out now.
