Debuted by Andrew to 20,000 fans at Above & Beyond’s sold-out Group Therapy 500 celebrations in Los Angeles last October, it’s the first remix to be revealed from Andrew’s fourth studio album 'Duality'. Met with acclaim from fans and supported by Sirius XM's Diplo and Liquid Todd, BBC Radio 1's Annie Nightingale and KCRW's Jason Bentley, the two-part album project was released via Anjunabeats in August and October 2022.
The string-laden closer to 'Duality pt. 1', 'Equal' saw Andrew collaborate with Danish singer-songwriter Asbjørn, previously heard as the voice of his 2015 trance smash, 'Super Human'. One of two collaborations between the pair across 'Duality pt. 1', Andrew and Asbjørn performed 'Equal' together on the main stage of Group Therapy Weekender London in September 2022.
Hailing from Scotland and Italy, production duo Alex Sonata & TheRio have rapidly ascended in the global trance scene. The pair first teamed up in 2018; after several collaborations, they made it official in 2020, and Alex Sonata & TheRio was born. They've released a string of explosive club tracks on Anjunabeats including 'Breath Of The Wild', 'Cala Luna', 'Time' and 'Are We Dreaming', and performed at Creamfields and Group Therapy Weekender London last year.
Andrew Bayer and Alex Sonata & TheRio appeared on March 26 at Anjunabeats Miami Music Week label showcase at Nautilus.
Andrew Bayer's 'Duality' is out now on Anjunabeats, with limited-edition triple gatefold vinyl available to pre-order now via the Anjuna Music Store.

[item value="10"] Andrew Bayer & Asbjørn - Equal (Andrew Bayer and Alex Sonata & TheRio Remix) [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Andrew Bayer & Asbjørn beautiful Equal receives the club ready makeover by Andrew Bayer and Alex Sonata & TheRio. The track starts with dirty greedy wonky basslines along with playful kicks and electro style percussion. The breakdown is the magical moment for the singer to amaze us all with his touching performance until the big synthy hook is revealed and slowly the track builds tension and energy for the sure fire climax. The crescendo moment is full of nice uplifting euphoric synths and great vocals for the ultimate hands in the air to start singing and feeling the so important message of the track. It's just an excellent remix to please crowds all over the world. #PureGold Love iT [/content]
