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 announced the 15th release in the celebrated “Volume” series. Moreover, Above & Beyond crafted it in their London studio during lockdown, and signals the label’s new direction. Anjunabeats fans can expect both fresh and familiar names, over 30 artists in total in this mix.
Volume debutants include Jordin Post, Le Youth, and Gardenstate (a new project from Marcus Schössow and Matthew Felner). Also, label stalwarts Andrew Bayer, Genix, Gabriel & Dresden, Oliver Smith, Mat Zo, Jason Ross, Tinlicker, Sunny Lax, and of course, Above & Beyond assert their presence. Disc one is a deeper and progressive mix that features a selection of exciting Anjunadeep talent. These include Marsh, Qrion, Durante & HANA, Frost, and PROFF. Satisfyingly, the mix builds up to disc two, where Above & Beyond takes full flight.
Disc two has no less than six Above & Beyond contributions. These include 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, and “Sun In Your Eyes,” remixed by Sunny Lax. Fans can also expect some great collaborations. These include Andrew Bayer, who teams up with both Genix and Cosmic Gate, Grum and Genix, and Spencer Brown and ALPHA 9. Notably, Trance music’s power trio, Elysian (ilan Bluestone, Maor Levi and Emma Hewitt) also make an appearance.
