ilan Bluestone and Oliver Smith collaborate on ‘Blue Eagle’, out now on Anjunabeats. 

At the forefront of progressive and trance for almost a decade, London-based ilan Bluestone made his debut on Anjunabeats in 2012. Producing high-energy trance with heart and soul, his emotional, song-driven approach to dance music has earned him numerous Sirius XM spins, plaudits and remix requests from Oliver Heldens to Armin van Buuren and eleven genre chart #1’s on Beatport with a legion of fans around the world.

This year, ilan dropped the singles ‘On Me’ on Anjunabeats and ‘Futuro’ on Armada Music, headlined sold-out shows in London, Manchester and Dallas, toured across North America, and graced us at Above & Beyond's Group Therapy Weekender at The Gorge and Tomorrowland. Aside from his music, he’s also excelled as a pilot and recently fulfilled a childhood dream of making his first solo flight.

Oliver Smith has amassed over 20 million streams across his entire catalogue. As Anjunabeats' first signing and one of our label's oldest and dearest friends, he mixed the Anjunabeats Worldwide 08 compilation in 2018; featuring ten of his own tracks, it reached the #1 spot on the iTunes dance chart in the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, and more.

Oliver’s last release on Anjunabeats, ‘Passion’ with SØNIN, won support from the likes of Ferry Corsten, Solarstone, Farius, Gabriel & Dresden and more, and climbed to #1 on Beatport’s Top 100 Trance chart. This year, he embarked on an international tour with stops in LA, New York, London, Delhi, Mumbai and beyond. 

ilan first teased ‘Blue Eagle’ at Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy 350 in Prague back in 2019. A sought after ID for nearly four years, it has since been championed by ilan and Oliver at Dreamstate Southern California and Igloo Fest Montreal.

We’re thrilled to see ilan and Oliver behind the decks at Anjunabeats London this September. Tickets on sale now (anjunabeats.com/events).

(ah-nah-meh)

Scandinavian production duo anamē release ‘Bermondsey Bender’, the fourth single from their upcoming debut album on Anjunabeats.

Marcus Schössow and Thomas Sagstad have been planning, plotting and dreaming anamē for two decades. First coming together at a house party in Helsingborg, Sweden, Marcus and Thomas bonded over a love of artists (Sasha or early Tiesto), labels (Strictly Rhythm, Defected), ethics (“We both wanted to work hard for our dreams”) and ideas.

‘Bermondsey Bender’ is a nod to the South London neighbourhood where the Anjunabeats office and Above & Beyond studio are based. The final single to be released ahead of their debut album, it captures the spirit and liveliness of the district.

“That song is about how we spent so much time down there – but it's not actually about a drunken night!” Marcus says. “It's just about how that area of London has this energy. And you kinda leave with that energy, feeling completely drunk. Drunk on energy and good vibes.”

“Very accurately put,” agrees Thomas. “When we're there, we're running between the office and the studios and the hotel. It's this triangle of streets. And you're so full of energy and adrenaline because you're trying to make everything happen while you're there. So I think that track is a good representation of us, and the album. It's fun to play with the whole bender idea. It's not really about that. But it still feels the same – in a positive way!”

anamē got their new album campaign off to a blistering start with the release of 'Anywhere (Road Trippin')', which was added to Sirius XM BPM and saw support from Don Diablo, Oliver Heldens, Tiësto, Korolova, Mees Salomé, Sultan + Shepard and more. Over the coming weeks and months, the band will be pulling back the curtain on how an album comes together, through their social media channels and on their ‘It’s a Beautiful World’ podcast series.

anamē ‘Bermondsey Bender’ is out now on Anjunabeats. The duo recently joined Above & Beyond at their Group Therapy Weekender festivities at The Gorge as well as our Anjunabeats Outdoors shows in New York City and Denver, and will soon feature at our Anjunabeats shows in Montréal, London and Amsterdam. Tickets on sale now (anjunabeats.com/events).

Release Date: 23rd August 2023

Alex Sonata & TheRio join forces with Elevven on ‘Hanalei’, out now on Anjunabeats.

Hailing from Scotland and Italy, production duo Alex Sonata & TheRio have rapidly ascended in the global trance scene. The pair first teamed up in 2018; after several collaborations, they made it official in 2020, and Alex Sonata & TheRio was born. They've released a string of explosive club tracks on Anjunabeats including 'Breath Of The Wild', 'Cala Luna', 'Time' and 'Are We Dreaming', and performed at Creamfields and Group Therapy Weekender London last year.

This year, the duo remixed ‘Equal’ from Andrew Bayer’s fourth studio album ‘Duality’, which climbed to #10 in the Beatport Trance chart, and dropped ‘Mantra’, which has been hammered by Above & Beyond live of late, including at their headline performance at Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas this May, and at one of the final shows at legendary London institution Printworks. 

Shahin Kanafchian and Swapneel Ukhalkar, aka Elevven, made their Anjunabeats debut with a remix of Gabriel & Dresden's 'You', recorded in collaboration with Myon, which went on to become one of Above & Beyond's most played tracks of 2018.

The pair kicked off last year with a remix of 7 Skies’ ‘Sushi’, which climbed to #2 on the Beatport Trance Chart and was debuted by Above & Beyond in their ABGT450 set at The Drumsheds in London. They followed that up with a remix of Above & Beyond’s ‘Can’t Sleep’ with Ruben de Ronde, featured on Fatum's Anjunabeats Worldwide 10 compilation. This year, the pair released their first original release on Anjunabeats, ‘The Distance’, and remixed Andrew Bayer & Red Dragons’ ‘Matriarch’. 

Alex Sonata & TheRio recently made an appearance at Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy Weekender festivities at The Gorge and our Anjunabeats Rising Summer Social in London. We’re excited to welcome them to Anjunabeats Outdoors Montreal soon. Tickets on sale now (anjunabeats.com/events)

anamē: Old Norse, meaning: to adapt

Scandinavian production duo anamē release their debut album 'Beautiful World', out now on Anjunabeats.

The collaborative work of Marcus Schössow and Thomas Sagstad reaches its latest apex with ‘Beautiful World’, an album that the pair have envisioned since first meeting at a house party in Helsingborg, Sweden, over two decades ago. Following on from solo work with the likes of Swedish House Mafia, Axwell /\ Ingrosso and Kaskade over the last ten years, the duo’s debut album is the latest milestone in their expansive discographies.

Like their careers, their album is not without its share of great collaborators. Title track ‘Beautiful World’ features the voice of Steve Smith, widely known as a member of the GRAMMY-winning act Dirty Vegas. “I love Steve,” Sagstad says. “I worked with him four years ago on a record with Sultan + Shepard and that was like a dream come true for me. It’s called Beautiful World, it’s the title record, and I think he encapsulates all of it.”

Another addition to the album is ‘Hurt You’, a track that dates back several years and features the vocals of fellow Swede, Lya Adams, and is a collaboration with AN21, a stalwart of SIZE records and brother to Steve Angello. ‘Closer’ sees the duo collaborate with Dutch indie band Vaarwell, a longtime favourite of Sagstad, under their new moniker Shobi.

Lyrics are of central importance across the record. “What is important for all the vocal songs we do is that the lyrics actually mean something to us,” Schössow says. “We've had plenty of really, really great demos from other writers but the lyrics didn’t really touch us."

This approach can be heard on ‘Gravity’ which, for Sagstad, is a cornerstone of the album. “I love the lyrics of the hook. It goes into gravity and the meaning behind that, keeping ourselves grounded and focusing on the right thing… For us, that's the most important thing. We don't try to find the most poppy vocal. We try to find the vocals that feel like something we can stand behind every day.”

Schössow and Sagstad have poured their ambition, heart and sense of adventure into the DNA of ‘Beautiful World’. Over its thirteen tracks, anamē present, literally and figuratively, their worldview.

Singles from the album have racked up over two million combined streams and over twenty-seven thousand Shazams to date, as well receiving support from the likes of Tiësto, Ferry Corsten, Don Diablo, Oliver Heldens, Cosmic Gate, Korolova, Mees Salomé and more. Their lead single ‘Anywhere (Road Trippin’)’ has been in the top 10 most played songs on Sirius XM BPM since June and so far their album singles have also seen extensive support across the major DSPs already landing over thirty editorial playlists.

Following on from recent performances at Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy Weekender at The Gorge as well as at Anjunabeats Outdoors shows in New York City, Denver, Montréal and beyond, anamē continue their tour with upcoming stops at London, Houston and Toronto. Tickets on sale now (www.anamemusic.com/tour).
