Nearly Two Decades Later, Above & Beyond's First Anjunadeep Release Is Here
It's tough to believe Above & Beyond have never released music on their own Anjunadeep label, but nearly two decades later, here we are.
The legendary trance trio today released Palermo/Fractals, a two-track EP produced in collaboration with PROFF, a longtime Anjunadeep staple and deep house luminary. Above & Beyond had never dropped original music on the imprint, an offshoot of their iconic Anjunabeats label, prior to today's release.
The EP feels less like a departure and more like unearthing buried treasure. Instead of soaring atop the familiar neon-tinged skyscrapers of their trance anthems, we find ourselves in a lush, palpitating ecosystem of house rhythms and organic textures.
They kick off with "Palermo," where PROFF's dazzling production entwines with tinctures of Above & Beyond's vintage trance leads to guide us into a shimmering deep house coda. Then comes "Fractals," which unfurls like a digital origami flower as twinkling arpeggios beautifully contort through a hypnotic arrangement. True to its name, the track unfolds like a haunting time-lapse through a kaleidoscopic dream sequence.
