Anjunabeats Vol 7 Mixed By Above And Beyond [2009]
Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2009 8:11 pm
Anjunabeats Volume 7 is the new compilation from Above & Beyond, the UK’s most popular DJs and recently voted Best Group at the International Dance Music Awards, ahead of the likes of Daft Punk, Justice, and Pendulum.
The album showcases the best new music from Above & Beyond’s Anjunabeats imprint, widely regarded as the world’s premier trance and progressive house label. In addition, the package includes a bonus DVD featuring the enigmatically titled film ‘A Dog With A Smile’ an off-the-wall look at life on tour with Above & Beyond.
Through Above & Beyond’s emphasis on forward-thinking established artists and nurturing the hottest new talent, Anjunabeats has cemented a fine reputation as a ‘go-to’ stable for those seeking innovative dance music. At the time of writing, the label, and its Anjunadeep offshoot, have reached an impressive 185 releases. And as the album series hits Volume 7, Anjunabeats’ success is more evident than ever, with an artist roll call that offers up the very best (and the very latest) quality trance and progressive across 2 CDs.
Longstanding Anjunabeats producers such as Oliver Smith, Super8 & Tab, and Jaytech combine with new talent represented by 19 year old Mat Zo and Cold Blue, each with 3 productions apiece. Above & Beyond arguably provide the album’s most anticipated moment, in the shape of new track, ‘Anjunabeach’, an epic piece of emotive electronica that promises to become a peaktime number far beyond the trance genre. Also present is Above & Beyond’s remix of Dirty Vegas ‘Tonight’, created in just 24 hours at Ibiza’s International Music Summit and heavily supported by Pete Tong on Radio 1.
Tony McGuinness from Above & Beyond said:
“In some respects Volume 7 sees Anjunabeats coming into focus. Our tastes have always been catholic and now, with a star-studded roster of incredibly talented artists, we are attracting and releasing a range of top quality records that can fully realise the breadth and ambition of the label. The 2 CD mix covers the full range of what we play as DJs and we?7;re delighted to have so many new standout tracks from our multi-national, multi-talented and multi-lovely Anjunabeats family”.
