There was no masterplan when Above & Beyond set up their Anjunabeats label back in 2000 – just a dedication to quality and forward-thinking dance music.There was no masterplan when Above & Beyond set up their Anjunabeats label back in 2000 – just a dedication to quality and forward-thinking dance music.
Now counting over 200 single releases, an award-winning compilation series and with deeper sub-label Anjunadeep in tow, Anjunabeats is renowned as a taste-making torchbearer for quality uplifting dance music – a global label family responsible for nurturing talents like Super8 & Tab, Nitrous Oxide and Mat Zo to both critical acclaim and club supremacy.?
For their 10-year anniversary release, Above & Beyond look back over the Anjunabeats legacy by mixing 10 timeless tracks that remind us just how ahead of the game the label has been – including Above & Beyond’s own classic ‘Can’t Sleep’, Bart Claessen & Dave Schiemann’s ‘Madness’(I Prefer This Mix), Signalrunners ‘These Shoulders’, Daniel Kandi’s ‘Breathe’ and Smith & Pledger’s ‘Northern Lights’.
Of course, Anjunabeats is a label driven by forward motion and it is for that reason that Above & Beyond present a second of disc updated and reinterpreted versions of those 10 classic tracks, with highlights including a melodic house-influenced remix of Mat Zo’s ‘Synapse Dynamics’ by Russian trance prodigy Arty, a dark, throbbing tech transformation of Super8 & Tab’s brooding but euphoric ‘Helsinki Scorchin’ by Bart Claessen, and Super8 & Tab’s respectful, futuristic version of Above & Beyond’s ‘Can’t Sleep’. ??
