Born and bred in London, Anjunabeats started life as a university project in the year 2000. Today, Anjunabeats is one of the world’s best-loved dance labels. Over 700 releases spanning two decades wear the iconic Anjuna ‘A’.
Dancefloors have been quiet for the past year, but Anjunabeats hasn’t been. Twenty acts curated their own mix compilation of catalogue hits. Above & Beyond took to the Thames in London for a four hour livestream. Anjunabeats partnered with iconic designer Mark Farrow for a series of merch. There were forward-thinking albums from Mat Zo, Trance Wax and ilan Bluestone, while the Rising EP series ushered in a new generation of producers and ideas with melody at their heart.
Summer 2021 sees an eclectic selection of house and techno producers take centre stage reworking nine Above & Beyond hits. ‘20 Years of Anjunabeats - The Deep Mixes’ features Anjunadeep regulars Dosem, Nox Vahn, Braxton and Jon Gurd, plus All Day I Dream’s Newman (I Love) and Shai T, two acts heavily supported in Tony McGuinness’ Twitch livestream sets over the past year. There’s melodic house from Mem Aleph and M.O.S., with Khen and Boxer and Amy Wiles providing some more up-tempo moments.
‘The Deep Mixes’ compilation features remixes of singles from Above & Beyond’s debut album ‘Tri-State’, as well as remixes of vocal anthems from their renowned 'Group Therapy’ album.
On top of these eleven remixes of Above & Beyond is a deeper take on Matt Lange’s ‘Rift’, a timeless classic from the Anjunadeep catalogue. Sudbeat regular Alex O’Rion provides a woozy rework.
This 12-track compilation is available exclusively on Beatport on the 24th of June.
