Trance Review: Anjunabeats Rising 20 feat. CVMRN, ENNEA and East & Atlas out on Anjunabeats
CVMRN, ENNEA and East & Atlas release their latest floorfillers on Anjunabeats Rising 20.
Anjunabeats Rising has introduced over 40 new acts to the label since its inception in 2021, including Alex Sonata & TheRio, Amy Wiles, Leena Punks, Naz and many more. The series is now back for its 20th volume, with new music from emerging producers CVMRN, ENNEA and East & Atlas.
Hailing from New York City, rising talent CVMRN has earned support from industry heavyweights like The Chainsmokers, Armin van Buuren, Nora En Pure, Above & Beyond, David Guetta, Sultan + Shepard and more. The US producer made his Anjunabeats debut back in 2023 with a thumping remix of Kasablanca's 'In Sequence', and has performed at Ultra Music Festival Miami both in 2023 and 2025. First heard as a mystery ID on Above & Beyond's Group Therapy radio show, CVMRN now drops his first solo track on the label, 'Fragile Shift'.
Californian producer Joaquin Limon, aka ENNEA, made his Anjunabeats debut as Mavros on Anjunabeats Rising Volume 3 in 2021. The burgeoning producer has since dropped multiple releases on Armada and seen support from the likes of Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Cosmic Gate, Ferry Corsten, Joris Voorn, Blasterjaxx, Paul Van Dyk and beyond. ENNEA's latest heater 'Stop Go' has been road tested by Above & Beyond on their ongoing 'Bigger Than All Of Us' album tour, as well as by ENNEA himself at his recent head turning performance at A State of Trance (ASOT) Festival Mexico.
East & Atlas is the collaborative project of Bruce Gibson and Devin Smith, who have been crafting modern progressive and trance-infused tracks since 2016. The duo quickly gained traction with tracks like 'Casablanca', which became a standout 'Push The Button' feature on Above & Beyond's Group Therapy radio show, as well as with collaborations with Chris Giuliano, a remix for Tritonal, and high-energy live performances supporting ilan Bluestone, Oliver Smith, Dirty South and more. Now, East & Atlas make their Anjunabeats debut with 'Heal You (I Can Feel It)'.
Anjunabeats Rising 20 is out now.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Anjunabeats Rising 20 presents an exceptional showcase of forward-thinking trance and progressive house with contributions from CVMRN, ENNEA, and East & Atlas. Each track in this compilation reflects meticulous attention to production techniques, sound design, and musical storytelling that not only captivates listeners but also enhances mental and physical well-being when experienced in fitness or wellness environments. CVMRN’s “Fragile Shift” is a 128 BPM mainstage anthem that utilizes layered, colorful synths with a polished stereo spread and deep sub-bass foundation. The track demonstrates advanced sidechain compression and dynamic EQing, ensuring the kick and bassline cut through while maintaining clarity in the midrange melody layers. ENNEA’s “Stop Go” features pounding percussive elements and euphoric harmonic progressions, showcasing expert use of reverb and delay to create a large, spatially immersive soundstage. Meanwhile, East & Atlas deliver “Heal You (I Can Feel It)” at 132 BPM with a pulsating bassline and soaring melodic leads, exhibiting strong use of harmonic layering, atmospheric effects, and well-timed transitions that maintain high tension and release cycles ideal for festival settings. The compilation excels in rhythm and groove, with intricate hi-hat patterns and syncopated percussion elements contributing to a cohesive energy flow. Transitions and build-ups are executed with precision through the use of risers, white noise sweeps, and filtered synth automation, creating seamless momentum for DJs and live performers. The dynamic range and loudness are balanced, avoiding over-compression and leaving room for impactful drops. Research in music therapy and neuroscience indicates that high-tempo, harmonically rich electronic music enhances mood, focus, and physical performance (Thompson et al., 2001; Karageorghis & Priest, 2012). The euphoric melodies and driving rhythms of Anjunabeats Rising 20 can elevate dopamine levels and induce flow states, which are beneficial for mental health and stress reduction. For fitness and wellness classes, tracks like “Fragile Shift” and “Stop Go” provide rhythmic entrainment, helping participants synchronize physical movement to the beat, which can enhance exercise endurance and perceived enjoyment. The emotional resonance of “Heal You (I Can Feel It)” further contributes to relaxation and mood elevation, making it suitable for cooldown or meditative segments of wellness routines. Anjunabeats Rising 20 is more than a collection of club-ready tracks—it is a meticulously crafted auditory experience that blends technical excellence, emotional depth, and scientifically supported benefits for mental and physical well-being. By pairing immersive sound design with powerful melodic storytelling, this compilation enriches both the dance floor and the mind. #PureGold Love IT[/content]
