ABOVE & BEYOND 'ANJUNABEATS 100'

�Above & Beyond Anjunabeats 100� is the culmination of the first vinyl century of one of the UK�s most accomplished & unswerving independent dance labels. 3 DJs and 1000�s of meticulous & painstaking A&R man-hours have brought Above & Beyond�s brainchild Anjunabeats to the threshold of this 100th release compilation and bonus DVD.

Over the last 8 years trance music�s true artisans: Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness, & Paavo Siljam�ki have cultivated Anjunabeats from its backroom beginnings to the apex of worldwide dance recognition. DJ Mag described Anjunabeats in 2008 as �the most consistent trance label in the world� and its discography has engaged the playlists of pretty much every EDM DJ out there. Central to that success has been the forging of the oft-noted �Anjunabeats sound�� Part of the label�s DNA from the very start, it has rendered their releases instantly identifiable as �an Anjuna track� to music lovers & diehard clubbers alike.

Here in 2008 Above & Beyond themselves need very little introduction. 2 top 20 hits (including one under their OceanLab alias) and a mega-selling, hugely-praised debut album in the form of �Tri-State� have firmly established them (to quote Pete Tong) as �the UK�s new dance superstars�. In addition to that they�ve remixed some of the world�s most influential artists (including Madonna & Dido) and regularly DJ to stadium-sized audiences, most recently performing to an audience of 1 million on Barra Beach in Rio on New Year�s Eve. In that process they have propelled themselves up the DJ rankings, breaking into the world�s Top 10 in 2006 and taking them within touching distance of the coveted No.1 position.

Mixed and compiled by the trio, �Anjunabeats 100� delivers a perfect cut-view of the music and artists that have brought the imprint to where it is today. It features tracks and mixes from established trance trailblazers like Above & Beyond & Andy Moor, OceanLab, Gabriel & Dresden, Matt Hardwick, Smith & Pledger & Super8 & Tab. In addition it decisively highlights Above & Beyond�s ability to push to the fore new trance talent (using Anjunabeats as the hub) with debuting artists like Luminary, Israel�s Maor Levi, Alt+F4 & Boom Jinx. Also included on the Anjunabeats 100 package is a Bonus DVD, featuring footage of Above & Beyond�s Anjunabeach parties in India and Brazil. The DVD includes breathtaking scenes from their New Year's Eve show in front of 1 million people, as well as fascinating behind the scenes footage and interviews.

Think of �Anjunabeats 100� then not so much as a �best of� - but more like a �best of the best� compilation!

Anjunabeats 100th release parties

To celebrate Anjunabeats� 100th release, Above & Beyond are hosting a series of Album Launch parties around the world. First up is an Easter special at Godskitchen on March 22, where Above & Beyond will perform a 3-hour set, joined by two of progressive trance's finest talents Andy Moor and Jaytech (UK debut).   

Then it's off to the sunshine in Miami, for a special 100th Release celebration at Nocturnal on March 27, and the first full blown Anjunabeats night on US soil. Joining Above & Beyond in the Anjunabeats Room will be Anjuna legends Super8 & Tab, Air For Life collaborator Andy Moor and Sweden�s hottest trance talent Mike Shiver.
