As DJs, 2015 has seen Above & Beyond play headline shows at London’s Wembley Arena, Los Angeles’ The Forum and Sydney’s All Phone’s Arena, as well as headline festival slots at Creamfields, EDC Vegas and Electric Zoo: Transformed. As label owners, they continue to nurture artists who are defining the future of electronic music. Now, the trio – who received their first Grammy nomination for “Best Dance Recording” for “We’re All We Need”–cap off their most prolific year yet with “Anjunabeats Volume 12“.
Across its 15-year history, Above & Beyond’s Anjunabeats label has developed talent such as Andrew Bayer, ilan Bluestone, Mat Zo, Arty and Audien. With the label’s biggest North American tour set to take place early in 2016, Above & Beyond present two mixes of forward-thinking sounds that demonstrate their commitment to rich, melodic sounds that have earned the label cult status with fans, industry and musicians alike.
With a nod to the deep, emotive house music that has seen sister label Anjunadeep flourish in recent years, CD1 features the hypnotic sounds of the Howling, Cubicolor and Lane 8, as well as one of Oliver Smith‘s deeper offerings and some slow burning, progressive magic from Jaytech. Elsewhere, Vintage & Morelli, Leu Leu Land and Third Party make their Anjuna debuts, with Sunny Lax, Kyau & Albert and Jason Ross all contributing more energetic offerings.
The much-awaited return of Above & Beyond and Justine Suissa‘s OceanLab project heads up CD2 with a gorgeous stripped back version of Another Chance; previously debuted in club mix form at ABGT150. The newest member of the Anjuna team, Grum, adds his unmistakable progressive sound, former Norin & Rad star Nick Sember hits new heights and the ever-ascendant Ilan Bluestone teams up with find-of-the-year vocalist Giuseppe de Luca for Bigger Than Love.
In keeping with tradition of being included on every Anjunabeats Volume compilation to date, mainstay Oliver Smith features again with his second more clubbier offering and Above & Beyond themselves offer a string of personal productions including the head-turning A.I and remixes of Faithless and Jean-Michel Jarre and Tangerine Dream.
While 2016 will see the act return to their acoustic project and take on the globe’s most iconic concert halls as a full band, “Anjunabeats Volume 12” is a reminder of their wide-reaching influence within club music.
