Following the news that Above & Beyond were ending their radio show Trance Around The World and starting Group Therapy , fans were concerned that the new chapter might mark the beginning of the end. This concern has so far proven untrue. Trance fans can rejoice with the announcement that legendary trio are hitting the big apple in 2013. Details regarding the event are scarce but we do know the Anjunabeats Volume 10 launch party will take place on February 16th at Roseland Ballroom and is hosted by Made event. Priority [...]
Equally as surprising as a hamper filled with four bottles of Cava and a plate full of tasty mince pies, Aaron Prime mashes up the magnificent talents of Above & Beyond and Morgan Page (plus more) whilst throwing in a sublime Calla Soiled cover that is primed for the 2013 Miami Winter Conference. AARON PRIME - For Kecak (Calla Soiled Cover) BONUS! ABOVE & BEYOND x HAYLEY PARSONS – Thing Changed Lanes (Aaron Prime [...]
Guy J , an Israeli producer we've seen steamrolling forward in 2012 with the launch of his Lost & Found imprint (under megastar John Digweed 's Bedrock label), is out with his second release on the infant imprint. The two tracks "Vaga" and "We Do It Best" show, as always, Guy's genre-spanning and melodic production style that lies somewhere in the midst of pure progressive house, tech house, and trance sensibilities. He's also put out records on labels like Tiga 's Turbo and techno mainstay Cocoon - only further evidence he can meld with producers associated [...]
Above & Beyond has just released their video for the latest single " Alchemy " off last year's Group Therapy . The song, featuring vocalist Zoë Johnston , is an affecting piece of music about a lover's betrayal. The music video features actress Mackenzie Firgens and Jonas Mayyab in the directors' chair. As A&B member Tony McGuinness describes in a interview with Rolling Stone , both of these people really lived the experience this song references. The result is a straightforward yet honest interpretation of the misery [...]

Only a week or so past the end of their historic Trance Around The World radio show and introduction of the newly minted Above & Beyond Group Therapy show, Anjunabeats label heads Above & Beyond are releasing a variety of mixes of one of their singles off of last June's Group Therapy album. The "Alchemy" club mix, the bass heavy and moody sister to its original, was played for months while A&B was on the road with their Group Therapy tour, but it's a treat to finally hear it [...]

The trio have touched many lives with their contributions and now they're offering fans a glimpse into a place that has great significance to them - Ibiza.

After leaving Dancing Astronaut, Kunal Bambawale moved to India to pursue a career in dance music. He was lucky enough to have been involved in the planning of TATW 450. This is his story. Full live stream of TATW450 after the break. The first time I saw Above & Beyond perform, at EDC 2010 in Los Angeles, I was 19 years old and clueless about what to do with my life. That night, under the balmy summer sky, A&B created something I'd never experienced before. Their music was beautiful and mysterious and somehow made me feel safe. They [...]

Over a year since the release of Fire & Ice , selections from Kaskade's last album are still being rebuilt. Dada Life last took control of " Llove ," now Above & Beyond takes a stab at "Room For Happiness," rattling the progressive track with harmonic trance elements. Without changing things up too drastically, A&B simply swaps sounds rather than dominating the production on their own. Lifting the emotions on "Room For Happiness," Above & Beyond have released their rendition, available on Beatport via Ultra. Purchase: Beatport [...]
Just two days ago Above & Beyond announced that their Trance Around the World radio show would be ending with its 450th episode in Bangalore, India. While this was a shock to the trance community, A&B wasted no time before revealing their new radio show, Group Therapy . This might sound familiar as it is frequently used for concerts featuring A&B and other Anjunabeat artists . The show will start on November 16th and their official statement is past the break. It wasn't an [...]
With less than a week until the monuments Trance Around The World 450 in Bangalore, India, fans were met with bittersweet news from Above & Beyond last Friday when they announced that TATW 449 would be the last episode in the series.

![[MP3 Playlist] The Chill Dojo #10](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4598187_lg.jpg)
If this week has taught us anything, it's that nature can reveal its two contrasting sides of pure beauty and sheer force at whim. It is the same with music. While there is electronic music capable of launching a crowd of thousands into the air to the beat of the bass, there are melodies capable of making thousands of individuals fall silent as they listen in awe of the sounds flowing from their speakers. This is the focus of The Chill Dojo, and this week we celebrate the milestone of #10 with a super-sized playlist of 20 amazing tracks for [...]
Tritonal is back at it again, this time teaming up with trance duo Super8 & Tab for their first ever collaboration 'Arc', which recently premiered on Above & Beyond's 'Trance Around the World'. The uplifting track is also the name of the upcoming joint North American tour by the two groups, which will hit major cities like LA and New York this fall (more details here ). The boys have promised it to be an intimate affair with extended sets, and 'Arc' certainly encompasses the massive energy we will surely encounter during the shows [...]
Connecticut's Audien is one of an all too few and far between list of US trance & progressive producers that are together causing a stir on the global dance music scene. Even more important then that, he is playing a vital part in the rapidly growing infatuation this country and it's millions of EDM fans have for trance music in general. After just over two years of producing he has found himself comfortable with both trance and progressive house, already establishing a confidence to his sound that reminisces of Arty or Mat Zo at the beginning of their careers. [...]
Yesterday afternoon Above & Beyond's world-leading trance label Anjunabeats gained its 100,000th fan on Facebook. To thank their loyal fan base, the Anjunabeats crew decided to give away a new single from one of their fastest growing artists: Super8 & Tab . The track, "Helsinki Scorchin'" is an adventurous trance song that takes long strides towards commemorating Anjuna and especially, Finland's capital city (Helsinki) for the talented trance artists that have come out of it's limits. It's build is quite cinematic in the way that it starts off with a mild, delicate melody that progressively gains more [...]
UK producer Lange has been producing excellent trance tunes for over a decade, but we haven't seen him releasing instrumental gems quite like his latest "We Are Lucky People" in recent years. He's collaborated with vocalists like Betsie Larkin, Emma Hewitt, Audrey Gallagher, and Sarah Howells (just to name a few) in previous efforts, but "We Are Lucky People" fully displays the vet's production chops. The track leads with a classic trance sequence and breaks into a purely beatific and blissed out piece of music. This one's been seeing heavy rotation on both Above & Beyond and Armin van Buuren's [...]
