It's hard to believe that Above & Beyond never released music on their own Anjunadeep label, but nearly two decades later, here we are.
The legendary trance trio released today Palermo/Fractalsa two-track EP produced in collaboration with PROFF, a longtime Anjunadeep staple and deep house luminary. Above & Beyond had never released original music on the label, an offshoot of his iconic Anjunabeats imprint, prior to today’s release.
The EP feels less like a departure and more like the discovery of buried treasure. Rather than soaring above the familiar neon-tinted skyscrapers of their trance anthems, we find ourselves in a lush, pulsating ecosystem of house beats and organic textures.
They open with “Palermo,” where PROFF’s dazzling production intertwines with shades of Above & Beyond’s trance classics to guide us into a shimmering deep house coda. Next comes “Fractals,” which unfolds like a digital origami flower as twinkling arpeggios twist beautifully across a hypnotic arrangement. True to its name, the track unfolds like a haunting time-lapse through a kaleidoscopic dream sequence.
In other Anjunadeep news, it’s been a big year for the storied label, which in May aired the 500th episode of its weekly mix showcase, “The Anjundadeep Edition.” They then launched a new imprint, Anjunadeep Explorations, to discover “the next generation of electronic music talent.”
