• Sunny Lax Unveils Highly Anticipated ‘Amethyst’ EP

  Anjunabeats has officially released Amethyst, which is the third installment of Sunny Lax’s EP series featuring his signature crystallized sound. As fans eagerly anticipate the return of Sunny Lax at the Group Therapy Weekender, the esteemed Anjunabeats artist has gifted them with new music that is sure to heighten their anticipation. Titled Amethyst, this latest EP marks the third installment in Sunny Lax’s series, which showcases his signature “crystallized sounds” and highlights his continually evolving creativity. In the track “Jannada,” Sunny Lax collaborates with Kyss to create a melodious and emotionally rich composition that seamlessly blends weightless melodies with deeply expressive undertones. The result is a powerful piece that may evoke tears or tranquility, but in either case, the journey to get there is well worth the experience. With “The Future,” Sunny Lax delves deeper into the techy underground and incorporates a future-forward vocal that dramatically alters the musical atmosphere. After a colorful array of synth expressions, the track’s latter half features a bass-heavy instrumental that ignites the dancefloor with pulsating energy. Finally, “The Light” brings the EP to a close with its contrasting effects, which alternate between soft vocals and chopped-up instrumentals that captivate the listener. Like the preceding tracks, “The Light” offers a balance of energy that allows the audience to breathe in one moment and then be swept away in the next, making it a perfect selection for closing out both club and festival events.

Each release is dripping with sublime progressive and rave-influenced sounds – from stunning releases on Anjunabeats like Deep State and the Reconnection and Isolation EPs to others like Heartbeats on his own imprint. Now, after a fantastic run in 2021 and curating tunes for Reactor Vol. 2 earlier this year, Grum announces his return to Anjunabeats with the highly anticipated full length studio album Unreality. Unreality feature 14 fresh tunes from the progressive dance music maestro as he explores the duality of his own story over the past few years. Much like other artists in the scene in 2020 who were stuck at home and yearning for their chance to take the stage again, Grum experienced that as well. But instead of sitting idle he got to work in the studio and explored his own influences – with the result being put on display on Unreality. “This album is a moment in time, directly influenced by the strangest couple of years in modern history. I don’t think I could have made it any other way. I hope it connects with you all as much as creating it kept me happy and occupied while everything faded away. I can’t wait for you all to hear the full release, and I’m looking forward to sharing more album moments on the Unreality tour.” – Grum Out now via Anjunabeats, stream Unreality by Grum in full below!   Grum – Unreality Tracklist Unreality Don’t Look Down (feat.
