[item value="10"]Andrew Bayer - The Way [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] Andrew Bayer, renowned for his innovative tracks on Anjunabeats, delivers another exceptional piece with his signature sound design that blends experimental and unconventional elements. His latest creation on Ophelia is a captivating blend of forward-thinking optimism and euphoric trance, clocking in at 140 BPM. The track boasts powerful basslines, raw metallic drums, and thunderous kick that evoke a primal response. The housey vocal melody adds a touch of accessibility, ensuring widespread appeal and sing-along potential. Bayer’s signature Anjunabeats sound design is evident in the emotional depth and cinematic strings that create a profound impact during the breakdown. The climax builds to an exhilarating crescendo, incorporating uplifting elements reminiscent of euro-dance and early 90s trance. This fusion creates an immersive and euphoric experience, culminating in a final section that delivers the signature techno sound, pushing adrenaline to its peak. “The Way” exemplifies Andrew Bayer’s mastery of creating action-packed and engaging soundscapes. It stands as a testament to his ability to seamlessly blend diverse genres and deliver an unparalleled listening experience. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

The reunion of Seven Lions, Above & Beyond, and Opposite The Other arrives with ‘Over Now,’ out now on Anjunabeats and Ophelia Records.

‘Over Now’ is the follow-up to Above & Beyond, Seven Lions and Opposite The Other’s collaborative debut ‘See The End’ (2019). It’s since become a staple in Above & Beyond’s live sets at clubs and festivals worldwide. This summer, Seven Lions joined Above & Beyond on stage to perform ‘Over Now’ at the trio’s biggest celebration of 2023, the Group Therapy Weekender at The Gorge, as seen in the official music video.

Melodic dubstep pioneer Seven Lions rapidly rose to prominence after winning a remix competition in 2011. His unique rework of Above & Beyond’s ‘You Got To Go’ (feat. Zoë Johnston) immediately grabbed the trio’s attention, sparking the beginning of a relationship that would span multiple collaborative performances between the two acts and an array of further Seven Lions remixes of Above & Beyond and Anjunabeats classics.


A vocal fan of Above & Beyond’s early works, Jeff’s (Seven Lions) own inimitable brand of high-octane, bass-saturated dance has always kept songwriting at its core. Some of his most recognizable Anjunabeats releases include his heavy-hitting remix 3LAU’s debut Anjunabeats smash, ‘Tokyo’ feat. XIRA, his unforgettable collaboration with Jason Ross and Paul Meany, ‘Higher Love’, and more.
"Having Jeff [Seven Lions] join us on stage at the Gorge to drop ‘Over Now’ in front of thousands of you was one of the highlights of our summer, and it was a joy to see how much you all connected with the track in the moment.

Our last collaboration, ‘See The End’, has always been one of our favourites to play out at our shows, and we’ve been waiting for the right moment to go back into the studio with Jeff and Sam [Opposite The Other]. We wanted to reconnect with that same energy, and ‘Over Now’ feels like the perfect follow-up.

It’s always a pleasure working with Jeff and Sam, and it’s been a treat to watch the reaction on dancefloors all over the world, thanks for all the love on this one so far!" - Above & Beyond
Seven Lions kicked off this year with his seismic ‘Journey III’ album tour, with stops at Los Angeles State Historic Park, three shows at Avant Gardner (Brooklyn Mirage), Downtown Las Vegas Event Center, San Diego’s Rady Shell, and beyond, selling over 125K tickets in total.

Songwriter and vocalist Sam Burger releases music under the moniker 'Opposite The Other'. Opposite The Other has supported globally renowned acts like The Cure, Bastille, The Lumineers, and more, and teamed up with Seven Lions earlier this year on ‘Alive’.

Reflecting on ‘Over Now’, Sam explains:
"The initial lyrical idea for the song actually came to me near the end of the pandemic. Like many others, I was in a dark place for so many reasons. The truth hit me that no matter how good or bad a situation is, there will always be an ending. This song is about the hope that the light at the end of the tunnel will arrive sooner rather than later. Working with Above & Beyond and Seven Lions once again has been the biggest joy, and I'm super excited to see how this song resonates with people".
Above & Beyond's next live celebration will see them return to Red Rocks Amphitheatre this October to helm two shows alongside label stars from Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep, final tickets are on sale now (https://www.aboveandbeyond.nu/redrocks/).

After a decade of music, dance music leader and festival headliner Seven Lions releases his first ever album 'Beyond The Veil' to the excitement of the wider dance music scene as a whole. The album includes twelve solo original tracks that challenges and evolves the current melodic bass and dubstep sound that he helped pioneer.

Fresh off his debut album, Seven Lions provides an energized four on the floor re-work of his album track "Miss You". The original has quickly become an instant fan favorite off the album with GG Magree's vocals and gets a trance-y festival and club ready spin on the production. The release comes on the start of Gem & Tauri's first ever tour, which sees them hit eight cities from December to January. Both Gem & Tauri and Seven Lions will also be premiering the track at the festival Belly Up in Colorado on release day.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]While the original is brilliant melodic dubstep with classy vocals and even euphoric trance infused climax now Seven Lions and Gem & Tauri collaborate to deliver the highly melodic infectious driving and incredible remix. You can expect prime time weapon with pulsating basslines, driving atmosphere and fantastic synthy hook that runs throughout the track and manage to energize you instantly without any delays. Full of warm melodies and spacey effects that create the perfect soundbed for the female vocals to shine and carry the listener on the dancefloor jumping, dancing and even little crying too. I always wait for Ophelia to release trancier remixes of their melodic dubstep and this version is right at the spot! #PureGold Love iT[/content]

Seven Lions returns on his own Ophelia Records with an old friend and collaborator in tow - Fiora. Together, they release Dreamin’ - the first single off of an EP project from Seven Lions that features the vocalist liberally throughout.

Fiora as a collaborator dates back to 2012, when she was the featured vocalist on one of Seven Lions’ most beloved tracks - Days to Come.

Dreamin’ comes on the back of yet another breakout single for Seven Lions - Ocean. A track with Jason Ross and Jonathan Mendelsohn, Ocean quickly became a set staple and anthem - a true fan favorite amongst one of dance music’s most rabid and loyal fan bases.

 [item value="10"]Seven Lions feat. Fiora - Dreamin' (Remixes)[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Seven Lions is one of the finest artists with his own sound that moves between dubstep and melodic styles. His track Dreamin' with  Fiora is stand out and deserves remixes. Sunny Lax is responsible to translate it for big room trance floors and he comes up with a stellar version. Punchy basslines, thumping grooves, huge euphoric climax and the Fiora vocal that definitely will hypnotise you and uplift your spirit right to the next level. Last Heroes remix moves on the melodic dubstep direction with excellent orchestral strings, big synths, heavy basslines, tough distorted grooves and Fiora's angelic dreamy performance that simply graces the track with her spiritual touch. Finally Mazare remix starts with a nice relaxing breaks like intro and the drop goes on the melodic liquid drum n bass direction for the ultimate travelling experience within the very cinematic and truly touching sonic scenery that Mazare creates in his very unique version. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

The vocals are so impressive and luscious that get the finest treatment by Myon who adds his chunky grooves, electro twisted basslines and superb breakdown with the hair raising synthy riffs, warm strings and airy pads that create the perfect luscious atmosphere that will give you endless goosebumps from head to toe.

Seven Lions returns for his second release of 2018 with 'Ocean', a project with Anjunabeats standout Jason Ross.

'Ocean'- features Jonathan Mendelsohn on vocals, and is a step closer towards the sonic landscape found on Above & Beyond's iconic dance imprint. Huge swells and lengthy builds are full of Ross' filmic textures, aptly juxtaposing the melodic, bassy growl of Seven Lions.

'Ocean' is the second release on Seven Lions' own independent label, Ophelia. The collaboration with Jason Ross marks the first collaborative project on the imprint, and also one of the rare producer collaborations in Seven Lions' career (the last one being the seminal 'Rush Over Me' with Illenium and Said the Sky).

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]When Seven Lions and Jason Ross collaborate the result can only be extremely impressive. Two great tracks with totally different angle and sound.  The Ocean features the stunning vocals by Jonathan who always manage to grace with his voice any superb lyrics he performs with his very deeply touching voice. If you add on this the dubstep emotional sounds that create truly cinematic experience then you feel tripping out deep in the Oceans. The Sirens on the other hand is an explosive mixture of psy trance with dubstep to melt into one two very popular styles in USA. Cinematic atmosphere along with razor sharp basslines, thumping grooves and brilliant dubstep breakdown with breaks, synths and strings to create an intense journey that seems to win the hearts and minds even if you don't feel affiliated with both genres of psy and dubstep. Two unique and glowing tracks that break boundaries and move forward! #PureGold Love IT[/content]
