34-track mix celebrates the 20th anniversary of Anjunabeats with exclusive and unheard selections from Above & Beyond and their label’s ever-expanding family of artists.
Anjunabeats, the iconic record label founded in the year 2000 by Above & Beyond, celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. As part of the celebrations, Jono, Tony and Paavo announce the 15th release in the celebrated ‘Volume’ series. Crafted by Above & Beyond in their London studio during lockdown, Anjunabeats Volume 15 signals the direction this label is heading in.
“The rug has been pulled from under us all as we battle this unprecedented global situation. From isolation comes motivation, however, and it’s time to revisit a trusted friend: the Anjunabeats Volume series.” – Above & Beyond
Names both fresh and familiar to Anjunabeats fans – over 30 artists in total – have been included in the mix.
Volume debutants include Jordin Post, Le Youth, and gardenstate (a new project from Marcus Schössow and Matthew Felner) are joined by label stalwarts Andrew Bayer, Genix, Gabriel & Dresden, Oliver Smith, Mat Zo, Jason Ross, Tinlicker, Sunny Lax and, of course, Above & Beyond.
Disc one, a deeper, progressive mix, features a selection of exciting Anjunadeep talent on display: Marsh, Qrion, Durante & HANA, Frost and PROFF. The mix builds up to disc two, where Above & Beyond takes full flight.
Disc two has no less than six Above & Beyond contributions, including three new club instrumentals: “I Saw Good”, “Jam” and “Crash”. There are two Volume 15 exclusive remixes of Above & Beyond’s staples: “Oceanic”, remixed by Germany’s Jerome Isma–Ae, and “Sun In Your Eyes”, remixed by Sunny Lax.
Some formidable collaborations have been turned in from Andrew Bayer – who teams up on tracks with both Genix and Cosmic Gate – Grum and Genix and Spencer Brown and ALPHA 9. Trance music’s answer to the power trio, Elysian (ilan Bluestone, Maor Levi and Emma Hewitt) also make an appearance.
Anjunabeats Volume 15 Mixed By Above & Beyond is available from July 31. Fans can pre-order and pre-save the album now. A limited-edition run of physical CD copies and accompanying art print is available to pre-order from the Anjuna Music Store.
