For anyone who follows dance music, 'Above and Beyond' is a name that is guaranteed to bring a smile to their face. Famed electronic music trio Above & Beyond have established a long-time following within the realms of progressive house and trance music - A community devoted to them as well as their labels Anjunabeats, Anjunadeep and - Group Therapy Radio
For me what separates them from the other artistes out there is that their music not only breaks genres but it also embraces different genres with such ease that at times it difficult to grasp the depth of their music understanding and the commitment to using music in creating a positive and happy mindset . Its also helps knowing that the 3 music legends have such love for India and especially Goa that their record labels are named after Anjuna Beach. It’s been evident that if anyone knows how to send major feels to a mass amount of people, it is definitely this trio - Jono Grant, Paavo Siljamäki and Tony McGuinness.
Their own tracks are chartbusters, they perform to sold out shows & festivals and their collaborations seamlessly blend like they were meant to be. I'm sharing some of their sets which I hope showcases their versatility and also maybe help you fall in love with their craft - just the way I do - Always
1) TIMELESS: Above and Beyond Acoustic Live from Porchester hall
Yes you read that right. This is a classic Sunday evening set that will surely confuse you if they really are DJ's. Thats the magic right ? They performed their most popular songs with an orchestra and its sure to make you keep going back to it.

2.) DANCE : Above and Beyond Live at Ziggo Dome
The quintessential hits, fans and feels. Perfect for any upbeat occasion. Their tracks are infused with vocals and thus will spare you the seemingly monotonous beats if you are not an EDM lover.

3. GROOVE : While their labels Anjunabeats and Group Therapy Radio are all about high energy dance music, they label Anjunadeep explores deeper sounds and more suited for a more loungy/ groovy evening with something nice playing for while. They key good music is to find the perfect BPM for the mood and thus this set is great. You should also see the video to appreciate the setting and vibe.

4. COLLABORATE: Another set from Anjunadeep which is undeniably my favourite set of last year. Ben Böhmer Live at Anjunadeep Open Air: Prague, is literally amongst the best sets you can hear. The vibe, the music and beat. Notice A&B creating platforms for other artists to come play to the same vibe.

I hope you enjoy these sets. One request try and listen to the full set at one go to help better understand the mood and feels. Thanks for reading, now time to BOUNCE!
