CD Above & Beyond Anjunabeats Vol.12 (2CD)

Notes

Having begun the year with the release of their critically acclaimed third LP 'We Are All We Need’, Above & Beyond cap off their most prolific year yet with ‘Anjunabeats Volume 12’.

As DJs, 2015 has seen the trio play headline shows at Wembley Arena, The Forum, Los Angeles and Sydney’s All Phone’s Arena, as well as headline festival slots at Creamfields, EDC Vegas and Electric Zoo. As label owners, they continue to nurture artists who are defining the future of electronic music.

Across its 15 year history, Above & Beyond's Anjunabeats label has developed talent such as Andrew Bayer, ilan Bluestone, Mat Zo, Arty and Audien; picking up Grammy nominations and critical acclaim along the way.

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 the 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 2nd 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 & Tangerine Dream.

Whilst 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.
