Above & Beyond must be wondering what’s left to do, after all, the duo have played to 1 million on the beach at Rio De Janeiro, debuted their full live show in Beirut in front of 8,000 and more recently they were chosen to produce the soundtrack for the unveiling of Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo. However, at the forefront of A&B activity has always been their Anjunabeats label. Now with over 170 releases, the latest comes in the form of Volume 8 of the Anjunabeats signature compilation mix CD.
A journey showcasing the full spectrum of Above & Beyond’s sound, the compilation takes in electro-influenced grooves, deeper trance and hypnotic progressive textures alongside their trademark euphoric anthems. The CD also offers a tantalizing glimpse as to what to expect from A&Bs forthcoming second artist album through the instant emotional highlight that is “A Thing Called Love”, while “Anphonic”, a collaboration with German duo Kyau & Albert, provides a driving, direct to the senses club banger that promises to strip you bare and send you to the asylum.
