ABOVE & BEYOND AJUNABEATS VOLUME 5
RELEASED JUNE 5th, 2007 On ULTRA RECORDS

Above & Beyond and their record label, Anjunabeats, are a true dance music success story. As artists, DJs, remixers and label-owners, Above & Beyond’s dedication and independent ethos permeates everything they do. Now voted No.9 in the latest DJ Mag Top 100 Poll, they’ve stormed what’s been an impenetrable fortress of big names. Hailed by Pete Tong as the UK’s “next dance superstars”, many from Mixmag, to DJ Mag, URB Magazine, and The Sun, have tipped them as ‘the next big thing’.
Thanks to the sheer quality of their craft, winning Radio 1’s Essential Mix of The Year award, and last year’s debut artist album, ‘Tri-State’ (one of iTunes Top 10 selling dance albums of 2006 and rated “Brilliant *****” by DJ Magazine), they’ve added legions to their already dedicated fanbase. Now battling away with the PvDs, Tiestos, and Sashas of this world, they’re set to become the true dance stars of the next few years.
“Above and Beyond beat(s) with a hit, repeatedly. Is it due to their unstoppable Anjunabeats label, continually turning heads since 1999? Or could it be the trance trio’s stellar debut LP Tri-State? Steeped in good vibes, these UK heroes save face for all things 135 bpm and faster.”
URB Magazine, Next 100 2006
In turn, their label Anjunabeats has become a byword for quality electronic music in its own right. As well as Above & Beyond, Anjunabeats is home to artists like OceanLab, Smith & Pledger, Kyau vs Albert and Super8 + DJ Tab, and with a back catalogue that boasts as many modern classics as you’d care to mention, it’s firmly positioned itself as a one-stop-shop for the discerning trance fan. Eschewing the obvious and the formulaic, they’ve signed, A&Red, and released some of the most forward-thinking, exciting trance music in years.
Above & Beyond are a force to be reckoned with on a global scale, perfecting superbly crafted trance for trance fans and non-trance fans alike – an ability one can only liken to riding two horses at once. This project shows them at their most dexterous.
“The leading exponents of quality underground trance are changing people’s perceptions of the T-word” DJ Magazine
