A unique band in today's times, Above & Beyond continue to push their sound forward with their latest release - the 300th on their globally renowned Anjunabeats label. Having recently enjoyed #1 iTunes Dance Album success across the globe with the critically acclaimed Acoustic album, the London-based band return to their hard hitting electronic club sound with the forward-thinking "Hello" - showing their multi-faced versatility in effortless style.
Debuted in their ABGT050 set at London's 10,000 capacity Alexandra Palace, "Hello" blends a myriad of modern electronic influences into an explosive big room anthem that has been setting the forums ablaze since that showcase event. With a pulsing electro-edged riff and quirky edits, "Hello" waves in a breakdown of dramatic melodic beauty that again shines a light on their unique musicality.
Responsible for #1 iTunes Dance Albums from artists such as Andrew Bayer, Mat Zo and, of course, Above & Beyond themselves, Anjunabeats celebrates its landmark 300th release in innovative style and signals another year of boundary-pushing from the critically acclaimed label.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Above and Beyond the last years manage to broaden their musical horizon and in that way to open the musical horizons of their fans worldwide as well. After their exceptional accoustic album that showcases the excellent tracks in their carrier that deserved definitely to reach wider mainstream audiences and enrich the masses grey life with some majestic colour. After their incredible big room trance banger they are back in hot action with another sure to reach Beatport chart number 1. The title is Hallo and there is a lot of controversy about this single on the social media. Some of the fans are shouting with happiness and joy and other scream with despair cause they were expecting their beloved group to return with another tried and tested trancer. Above & Beyond give us a wink and warm hug and tell us simply Hallo and they reintroduce themeselves with a massive instrumental big room trance meets prog house banger that will be adopted by epic prog house jocks as well. They manage to enhance the tired by now epic prog house genre with their high quality and gentle melodies that you simply dont get on the many of those copycat tracks that are out at the moment. Powerful cracking beats, heavy agressive bassline that particularly in the climax becomes really nasty and ready to smash the soundsystem while the breakdown is absolutely mouthwatering. The emotional deep melody, the classical music references, the optimistic piano chords and the warm airy strings will give you goosebumps and even some tears in your eyes as well. When the playful beat returns everything will change as Above and Beyond invite you to party hard all night. You will be carried away from the devastating groove so better jump high as possible to reach moon and the stars and say simply HALLO. Love iT
