Above & Beyond have struck again with their latest musical venture, the exhilarating single ‘Feel The Vibe’, coinciding with the release of Anjunabeats Volume 17. Much to the delight of fans, this track is a fresh take on the iconic anthem initially crafted by Axwell in 2005, transforming it into a more trance and progressive masterpiece. This reimagined version has been a staple in their sets during the past year on their global Bigger Than All Of Us tour, resonating deeply with festival audiences around the world.
The highly anticipated track arrives alongside the full release of Anjunabeats Volume 17, a collection that boasts an impressive 35 tracks spread across two dynamic mixes. This compilation is not just a collection of songs but a testament to the evolving sound of Anjunabeats, showcasing a blend of both long-time collaborators and rising stars poised to shape the label’s future. The meticulous curation took place between Above & Beyond’s bustling London studio and their extensive global touring schedule, encapsulating a journey through the ever-changing landscape of electronic music.
Since its inception in 2003, the Anjunabeats Volume series has been an influential beacon within electronic music, regularly unveiling emerging talents and curating the signature sounds that have come to define the Anjunabeats label. With Volume 17, Above & Beyond reaffirms their commitment to this tradition after a four-year hiatus, presenting a forward-thinking vision of where the sound is headed. The duo shares, “Following the release of Bigger Than All Of Us, it felt important for this next chapter to celebrate the artists that make Anjunabeats such an exciting label to be a part of.”
Perhaps one of the most notable features of this compilation is its first-ever release on vinyl, allowing fans to experience the music in a more tangible format. The vinyl edition includes a 12-track sampler meticulously handpicked by Above & Beyond themselves. This collection arrives as a celebration not only of the label’s illustrious legacy but also as a bold affirmation of its trajectory moving forward.
“We’re excited for you to embark on this musical journey with us, and we hope you enjoy the compilation as much as we enjoyed curating it,” they emphasize, inviting fans to dive into this new chapter of Anjunabeats. Both the single ‘Feel The Vibe’ and Anjunabeats Volume 17 are now available for pre-order on CD & vinyl.
