A sold out weekend of shows that saw Anjunafamily members from over 50 countries travel to Hong Kong for Group Therapy 300, truly ‘Happiness Amplified’.
Hot on the heels of Above & Beyond’s landmark ABGT300 celebrations broadcast worldwide from the Far East, Jono, Paavo and Tony reunite with Richard Bedford for new single ‘Happiness Amplified’. Taken from their #3 US Billboard Album, ‘Happiness Amplified’ receives a suitably stadium sized transformation courtesy of the Above & Beyond Club Mix.

[item value="10"]Above & Beyond feat. Richard Bedford - Happiness Amplified[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Above & Beyond have composed another future trance classic featuring their faithful collaborator Richard Bedford. Happiness Amplified in its original form is smooth melodic dreamy progressive trance that has even strong pop influences. The lyrics are truly well written describing the happiness that you get when you realise that your loved one is your other half that amplifies the excitement in your whole life. Richard voice as always brings great combination of melancholic and epic moments and signals empowerment and hope for the listeners who identify with the story that he talks about in the lyrics. The Club mix is a fantastic big room prog trance banger with heavy grungy thumping grooves, pulsating basslines and superb piano melody in the luscious breakdown along with variety of synthy plucks building the tension towards the gigantic drop with full on jumping and pumping drop packed with euphoric synths, dreamy melancholic piano, swirling pads and anthemic celebratory strings. #PureGold #PureClass Love IT [/content]
