As any Parker & Hanson fan will no doubt agree, good things come to those who wait. Following on from the success of last year's 'Alquimia', the mysterious US-based double act finally return to Anjunabeats with the deep, entrancing waves of 'Arabesque'.


Already a Webvote Winner on Above & Beyond's Trance Around The World, 'Arabesque' is a masterclass in the art of the build. Rather than flying off at full throttle, the US duo instead layer a subtle, shuffling progressive groove with entrancing melody textures that rise and rise steadily throughout this eight-minute epic.

Full of hypnotic allure and melodic complexity, 'Arabesque' operates brilliantly at the deeper end of the Anjunabeats spectrum.

Catering for the peaktime floors, the Artist Formerly Known As Breakfast aka Casey Keyworth delivers a quirky, cutting-edge future trance anthem - raising the intensity with growling synths and crunching beats. Offsetting the aggression with the euphoria of the original melodies, Casey sandwiches his high-energy passages with an epic, unwinding breakdown - stamping his unique vision on the track.


Also available is the Above & Beyond Club Edit, which is a slightly shortened version that has become a recent staple of Above & Beyond's US tour sets.


Dimitri Kechagias review: Its no wonder that Anjunabeats stays ahead of the others for so many years and manages always to bring cutting edge but at the same time crowd pleasing material. Arabesque is definitely one of the large peak time prog beauties for the summer of 2011. The wonderful way that is composed and the composition that adds interests and keep the heads nodding is for sure something that the producers should be proud about. The melodic breakdown will bring goosebumps and the hand raising effect will take over the summer festivals. Nice to get a brand new production by Casey who simply rocks the clubs with his breakfast tunes. Now he delivers something so awesome and mindblowing that will leave you speechless. He uses a techy trancy beat that is definitely more upfront than the original and he lead us in the breakdown that along the great build up with the main melodic lead adds an interesting twist with a wonderful atmospheric vocal that adds an out of space feel to it. Very emotional and heartbreaking for sure. Then the beat comes back as manic as ever with the clubbers having a great dancing experience. Stomping and bouncing this is the Anjunabeats sound we all love!!! Additional inclusion is the A & B edit that goes straight to the point earlier and bring the desired dancefloor effects much more earlier. Don't miss this beauty, will make you love trance again!
