A dark detour into the mind of Above & Beyond, ‘Balearic Balls’ signals the return to club minded songwriting for the UK based trio.
Following the success of 2016’s Acoustic world tour and the accompanying iTunes #1 album, Jono, Tony and Paavo find themselves on familiar ground; a brooding instrumental with a techno edge.
One of the highlights during Above & Beyond’s ABGT200 set in Amsterdam and subsequent sold-out European tour, ‘Balearic Balls’ provides one of the highlights in their forthcoming ‘Anjunabeats Volume 13’ compilation album.

[item value="10"]Above & Beyond - Balearic Balls[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Above & Beyond are experts in producing straight to the point big room anthems and their latest release Balearic Balls is not an exception on this golden rule. The incredible trio once again they do what they know best through their studio and live performances experience. Pumping pounding drums, energetic pulsating basslines, dark synthy chords that recall Tiesto style classics, infectious rhythm and haunting groove that simply demands to dominate your senses. The breakdown is long and atmospheric with variety of suspenseful synthy plucks that build tension and anxiety until the beat strikes back for the full on hands in the air climax with that moody epic synthy theme that lock you in its dark groove and carry you away to start jumping and dancing without any limits or boundaries. #PurePerfection #PureGold Love IT [/content]
