Amy Wiles and Leena Punks reunite on their second collaboration, this time featuring vocals from flowanastasia to deliver a modern trance hit, ‘Heard It All Before.’
Anjunabeats linchpin Amy Wiles boasts a string of successful releases on the label, kicking off in 2021 with her debut single ‘Biding Time,’ featured as part of the Anjunabeats Rising series mix and amassing over 1M streams. Amy then went on to release #1 Beatport Top 100 Breaks single ‘Sweet Feeling’ alongside Leena Punks, which was picked by Jaguar as her ‘Dancefloor Moment of the Week’ on BBC Radio 1 Dance and playlisted on Diplo’s Revolution on SiriusXM. 2024 saw the British producer sell out a headline London show, play at Anjunabeats Outdoors shows in Manchester and Brighton, her own show on BBC Radio 1 Dance Presents, and release the euphoric ‘For You,’ followed by her first EP on the label, the ‘Here I Am EP,’ which totaled over 3M streams and received extensive support from Radio 1’s Danny Howard & Sirius XM. In 2025, she has continued that run of hits with a recent sell-out headline show at London’s Phonox.
“I just knew when Leena sent over the initial idea for HIAB that I had to work on it. The melodies and chords were very emotional, which is what I love. It’s great to hear how all of our styles have come together on this one, turning it into a commercial old skool trancey-sounding banger, and flowanastia’s lyrics and vocals have added that mainstream/crossover touch that we were after! Can’t wait to release this one into the world, it’s already going off on all dance floors!” - Amy Wiles.
London-based producer and DJ Leena Punks evolved into a DJ and producer after digging through her father’s vinyl crates at an early age. She initially began her DJ career as a radio host and soon went on to play at clubs in party cities such as Athens, Mykonos, London, Berlin, Zurich, and Ibiza.

In 2024, she toured the world performing at major festivals, including Creamfields (UK) & Dreamstate (USA), ticked off iconic clubs like Fabric & KOKO, ending the year with her own headline India tour.

Last year, Leena released across several influential labels like Anjunabeats, Big Beat, Stress & Enormous Tunes and has kicked off 2025 with ‘Tell Me You Don’t’ on Enhanced.
'I wrote a euphoric breaks record last year about a painful breakup with very emotional chords and melodies in the drop and breakdown. I sent it to Amy, and she loved it. It was great to see how our experiences and creativity came on this record and turned it into a big old-school trance banger. Also, it's always great to work with one of your best mates who's also a talented producer. Flowanastasia's incredible delivery and lyrics gave me goosebumps and the record a more crossover feel. So excited to release this into the world and so great to see it already going off on the dancefloors!' - Leena Punks

"Feeling the hypnotic vibe in the music reminded me of being 'on loop' in past toxic relationships - like the emotions of being stuck in negative cycles - so I wanted to represent that in the lyrics." - flowanastasia
