REVIEW: Above & Beyond - Red Rocks out on Anjunabeats


Taking its name from the legendary concert venue where the track debuted, ‘Red Rocks’ is If there's a beat dropping in a rocky outcropping, will the kids dance? We asked the population of Denver, CO and they're all in agreement - 'Red Rocks', rocks. a bruising new club cut from Above & Beyond, named after a fascinating geological anomaly that moonlights as a bloody fine concert venue.

Fresh from the release of their ‘Common Ground’ LP which saw the U.K. trio enter the Billboard album chart at a career high #3, ‘Red Rocks’ is a gritty aggregate of tech trance on a bedrock of galvanised groove that'll transmute the dance floor's stoniest feet into flowing magma, expertly carved courtesy of Jono, Paavo and Tony.

 [item value="10"]Above & Beyond - Red Rocks[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Above & Beyond deliver continuously and relentlessly amazing tracks either with great vocals or as epic instrumentals that become instant classics. Red Rocks is an example of quality progressive big room trance with chunky grooves, thumping basslines, razor sharp synthy stabs and superb long and teasing breakdown with heavenly exotic ethnic voices and heavenly vocals along with cinematic tripping out sound design. The main synthy hook is epic and euphoric to the very maximum and will push you right up to the seven skies and beyond. The track has that anthemic sound that win over the hearts of the festival goers with emotional sensitive moments and euphoric explosions to make it an instantly lovable classic. #PureGold Love iT [/content]
