10.0

Overall Score

Progressive house duo ANUQRAM collaborate with Berlin-based producer and vocalist Eleonora on ‘Parasite’.

ANUQRAM first appeared on Anjunabeats in 2021 with ‘Echoes’, a track that saw the duo collaborate with label mainstay PROFF, before going on to drop floorfillers like ‘Get On’, ‘Don’t Stop’ and ‘Bermondsey Bender’ (ANUQRAM Remix), which earned support from industry heavyweights like Armin van Buuren, Vintage Culture, David Guetta, Oliver Heldens, Cosmic Gate and more.

Last year saw ANUQRAM release three EP’s on Anjunabeats, kicking off with the ‘On My Knees EP’, which featured collaborations with Ash Nova and Dulus. The duo followed that up with their remix of Above & Beyond and Zoë Johnston's uplifting trance hit 'Crazy Love', which gained support from the likes of Nora En Pure, Sultan + Shepard, Jerro, Korolova, Chicane and Laura van Dam.

Four months later, ANUQRAM joined forces with progressive house pioneer Alexey Sonar and Italian duo Madraas on the ‘Alright Now EP’. The pair rounded off the year with the ‘You Set Me Free EP’, which saw spins from Yotto, KREAM, Sultan + Shepard, Cosmic Gate and more, before dropping their remix of Dosem and HANA’s ‘Ethernal’.

Now, ANUQRAM teams up with Berlin-based producer and vocalist Eleonora on their hypnotic new single ‘Parasite’. First introduced to fans in Above & Beyond’s Deep Set at ABGT600 in Xochimilco, Mexico City, it’s been a hotly anticipated ID ever since.

ANUQRAM & Eleonora ‘Parasite’ is out now on Anjunabeats.
