Motez serves up a deep-tech single ‘ReSet’, ahead of the release of his EP

Above & Beyond announces the rebranding of their third frontline label, Anjunachill (formerly Reflections). The dawn of a new year brings change and much to celebrate at Anjuna HQ. To kick things off, Anjunachill (rebranded from Reflections) is now the third frontline label under the Anjuna umbrella, housing the group’s ambient, downtempo, and chillout catalog. In celebration of its 25th anniversary and the launch of Anjunachill, the Anjuna label family is unveiling a brand refresh for 2025. With the design of its own bespoke typeface, ‘Decima Sans,’ and the iconic ‘Anjuna A’ at its core, the refreshed identity honors Anjuna’s rich heritage while establishing a versatile design foundation for the label’s future growth. Alongside longstanding flagship imprints Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep—two of the world’s most respected imprints in dance music—Anjunachill is keeping the brand’s signature ethos with emotive and melodic music at its core. While the Anjuna brand is historically synonymous with quality dancefloor-dominating club records, ranging from trance and progressive to deep house, Above & Beyond’s newest imprint, Anjunachill lives in the worlds of ambient, downtempo, and chillout – genres with a rich, intertwined history with dance music and the Anjuna brand itself. Anjunachill is the latest chapter of a journey that began with Above & Beyond at Burning Man in 2014. Following a spontaneous sunset yoga set on the iconic Robot Heart stage, this transformative experience sparked the creation of their dedicated yoga and meditation album, ‘Flow State.’ Following the success of ‘Flow State,’ in 2020, the first EP in a new chillout series, ‘Reflections Vol. 1,’ was released on Anjunadeep. This marked a pivotal moment in establishing a dedicated home for Anjuna’s chillout catalog. Officially launched in May 2022 as Reflections, the label flourished as a standalone space for ambient and downtempo music. Over the past three years, the Reflections label has released over 250 recordings from 70+ artists, amassing over 150 million streams. The label has released critically acclaimed albums from Mark Barrott, Cephas Azariah, Yotto, and Croquet Club, receiving glowing coverage from Pitchfork, Resident Advisor, and BBC Radio 6 Music. With standout live showcases at Glastonbury and sold-out events at ADE, Reflections has established its reputation as a credible tastemaker in the chillout space. Now, Anjunachill proudly carries the torch, continuing to champion, discover, and nurture some of the finest talents in ambient, downtempo, and neo-classical music. To long-time fans of Anjuna and Above & Beyond, the Anjunachill rebrand will come as no surprise; quieter moments have always been essential components of the band’s chart-topping electronic albums. The chillout genre is one the Anjuna family of labels have a long history in – from catalog classics on Above & Beyond albums like their debut LP title track ’Tri-State’ and ’Sun In Your Eyes’ from Group Therapy, to much-loved fan-favorite moments from Andrew Bayer, Cubicolor and Croquet Club, to the RIAA-certified Gold ‘Don’t Leave’ (a single from the ‘Flow State’ album) in 2019. Artist priorities for 2025 include Cephas Azariah, Mark Barrott, and newcomers Planet of Souls. Planet of Souls is the exciting new downtempo alias of prolific producer Paul Rogers (NERD, Gorillaz, and Pete Tong) and close friend Tom Barlow, a sound design master.  Anjunachill also welcomes new additions to the label, including Anjunadeep’s Luttrell, Steven Weston, BAILE, and Cornelius SA, Anjunabeats’ PROFF, as well as new faces in the form of South African neo-classical duo Ad Harmonium and British producer Toutounji. Anjunachill’s first release comes on January 14 by way of Above & Beyond’s new single, ‘Shall We Begin.’ Debuting as the intro for Above & Beyond’s guest mix on the 500th episode of the Anjunadeep Edition last summer, ’Shall We Begin’ is a moving downtempo electronic piece that takes listeners on a three-minute emotional journey. Echoing the sweeping soundscapes of their iconic ‘Flow State’ album, the track is poignant, reflective, sentimental, and captivating. In October 2024, 15,000 fans got a sneak preview of ‘Shall We Begin’ as it served as the soundtrack to the mysterious ‘Anjuna 25’ teaser video played right before Above & Beyond’s headline set at Above & Beyond’s 600th Group Therapy Radio Show (ABGT600) in Mexico City. This aptly named tune not only kicks off the Anjunachill label but ushers in an exciting era for Above & Beyond, who are set to play at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, California, this April. ‘Shall We Begin’ is now available worldwide via Anjunachill. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7VcXDdBXvyQ  

This EP sees label bosses Above & Beyond release an original mix on their own Anjunadeep imprint for the first time. Tapping into their deeper side ahead of their rare headlining appearance at Anjunadeep Open Air London, GRAMMY-nominated trio Above & Beyond showcase their diversity with a marked departure from the high-tempo trance bangers that they’ve become known for. PROFF saw his first Anjunadeep release back in 2008 and has been releasing on Monstercat, Melody Of The Soul, and SkyTop recently. His sets at the annual Anjunadeep Explorations festival in Albania have become fan favorite attractions, with the Russian producer consistently taking crowds on a hypnotic journey. The opening track, ‘Palermo,’ is a summery and euphoric melodic house anthem, while ‘Fractals’ showcases PROFF’s mastery of organic house sounds and Above & Beyond’s melodic sensibility. Founders of the iconic Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep record labels and hosts of a weekly radio show that reaches millions of dance lovers every Friday (Group Therapy), Above & Beyond have earned two GRAMMY™️nominations for anthems ‘Northern Soul’ feat. Richard Bedford and We’re All We Need feat. Zoë Johnston. In 2018, the band’s fourth electronic album, Common Ground, debuted at number three on the Official Billboard Album Chart. Described by UK music bible Q Magazine as “the world’s biggest cult band,” Above & Beyond’s enviable list of sold-out shows includes headline performances at historic venues like Madison Square Garden, NYC, The Hollywood Bowl, The Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall London, Red Rocks Amphitheater, and record-breaking turnouts for their own festival events on LA’s Huntington Beach and at The Gorge Amphitheater in Washington State. 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, and a stand-alone album for yoga and meditation – not to mention innumerable club cuts and dance remixes.

San Francisco native Eric Luttrell announces his highly-anticipated third studio album ‘Life at Full Speed’, released on October 11 on Anjunadeep. The album announcement is paired with the release of lead single ‘Make U Happy’. First breaking into electronic music as part of the OWSLA-affiliated trio The M Machine, Eric embarked on his solo journey in 2016 with the acclaimed ‘Need You EP’. This was followed by Anjunadeep favourites such as the ‘Generate EP’ and ‘Intergalactic Plastic’, the latter of which was named Hottest Record In The World by Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1. His musical progression continued with the launch of two studio albums, ‘Intro Clouds’ and ‘Lucky Ones’, as well as the captivating trilogy EP series ‘Music For My Memories’. Luttrell’s body of work has amassed over 100 million streams to date. Written over the past two years, ‘Life at Full Speed’ represents a new chapter for Eric. Becoming a father last year profoundly shifted his perspective on life and its purpose; and the album represents the ethos of embracing life to its fullest and seizing every moment. Three of the album’s 13 tracks, ‘Sunshine’, ‘Space’ and ‘Sunshine Song’ have already been released and supported by BBC Radio 1 and SiriusXM Chill, and they, alongside the bouncy new single ‘Make U Happy’, set the tone for this warm and uplifting album. A standout feature of ‘Life At Full Speed’ is the way in which Eric weaves his own voice into his productions, as well as vocals from Canadian artist Molly Moonwater on single ‘Something Right’. In marrying the melodic productions for which he’s become known with more overtly vocal moments that aren’t as commonplace in his catalogue, Luttrell promises to delight and surprise any listener of this album. ‘Life at Full Speed’ is set for release on October 11 on Anjunadeep.

The inaugural EDC Thailand will take place on January 17, 18, and 19, 2025, at the picturesque Boat Avenue Lakefront.
