REVIEW: Various Artists - Anjunabeats Worldwide 05 Sampler pt. 1 out on Anjunabeats


Featuring three distinct cuts from ilan Bluestone's imminent compilation, the first Anjunabeats Worldwide 05 sampler sees tracks from four name that have defined the label throughout its 15 year history.

The go-to-guy for powerful peak time reworks since breaking on to the scene in 2012, ilan Bluestone turns his midas touch to a favourite from Above & Beyond's number 1 iTunes album, "We're All We Need" (featuring Zoë Johnston). Thoroughly amping up the drama with his trademark chugging bass and smooth orchestral layers, ilan once again delivers a crowd pleasing remix.

Having released their polished four artist album "Distant Lights" earlier this year, Kyau & Albert return to Anjunabeats. A crisp and uncompromising tech-trancer, "Color Field's" tight groove and plucky lead showcase the German duo at their best.

A formidable melody making machine, Hungary's Sunny Lax has come of age over the last 18 months, with an unrelenting stream of uplifting anthems. The follow-up to 2014's "Karma" and "Daenerys", "Melba" washes over the floor in waves of sun-soaked euphoria, arriving just in time for the summer festival season. 



Dimitri Kechagias review: The brand new Anjunabeats Worldwide compilation features many exclusive tracks and three of them are presented on the first mindblowing sampler. Firstly is Ilan Bluestone's  who takes care of the mixing of the compilation, remix on the massive Above & Beyond beloved anthem We're All We Need. You can not expect less from this massive talent. His version has metallic basslines, punchy bouncy drums and superb atmospherics with airy pads and cinematic strings. His breakdown is packed with melodic goodness and Zoe's magical voice that will transcend you to her very personal world.  The build up is intense until the bass to drop for the full on euphoric climax packed with euphoric synthy hands in the air along with beautiful pleasurable rhythm that you can not stop yourself from dancing and jumping along. The awesome Kyau & Albert are on board too with their instant festival favourite Color Field. Whatever you adore on this duo is included on this magnificent tune. Perfect hybrid of electro basslines, puncy thumping drums and great choir like heavenly voices along with airy pads, cinematic strings and relaxing balearic themes ready for Ibiza. The floating breakdown gives its place to the flowing hands in the air climax that serves as the perfect trance experience that recalls the classic Anjunabeats sound that we have missed. Sunny Lax never fails to make the heads turn and notice what he is producing. His abilities have been recognised and he is respected from all the major players. His track Melba is a magnificent modern neo trance journey with big room elements and of course packed with emotional synths along with the wonky electro kissed basslines and the superb energetic driving drum programming. You can expect heavenly voices and melodies that will captivate your imagination instantly with piano theme that you will adore straight away. This is the greatness of Anjunabeats #TrueTrance Love It
