Anjunabeats is pleased to release the new single from progressive duo gardenstate, ‘Surreal’, their first original on the label.
A titan of progressive trance, Sweden’s Marcus Schössow cut his teeth in the late 2000’s. He’s released music on Coldharbour Recordings, Spinnin’ Records and Tone Diary, and was tapped by the legendary Axwell & Ingrosso (Swedish House Mafia) for remixes of ‘Sun Is Shining’ and ‘More Than You Know’.
Marcus is also no stranger to the Anjunafamily, releasing a one-off EP on Anjunadeep in 2010 under his ‘1985’ alias.
gardenstate came about after a chance meeting between Marcus and American producer Matthew Felnerand in 2008. The pair started creating music together last year and have already supported the likes of Eric Prydz, Sander Van Doorn, Ferry Corsten, Gabriel & Dresden and Mat Zo. They’ve released on imprints like Yotto’s Odd One Out, Joris Voorn’s Spectrum and Cosmic Gate’s Wake Your Mind.
One of two gardenstate tracks featured on Above & Beyond’s Anjunabeats Volume 15 compilation, ‘Surreal’ is just the tip of the iceberg. Expect much more from gardenstate on Anjunabeats in the year ahead.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The newly formed project gardenstate delivers on Anjunabeats the exquisite piece of melodic progressive house meets trance Surreal. The track melts into one the finest qualities of progressive house with tribalish balearic beats and driving basslines along with soulful house diva style vocals. The emotional strings and euphoric synths elevate and can make you feel absorbed and transferred to its brilliant music scenery. Superb production that wins the ears of those who search for compositions that stand out and advance their music genre one step ahead! Awesome indeed! #PureGold #LoveIT[/content]
