Made at Pacha presents
ABOVE & BEYOND
Anjunabeats Vol. 5 Album Release Party
(Ultra Records)
Made at Pacha returns with Above & Beyond for the next installment of their acclaimed series – ‘Anjunabeats Volume 5’ (Ultra Records). The Kings of making the t-word cool again and the new “Saviours of Trance” are coming to NYC on June 1st for a special evening of well produced, perfectly blended, and madly refreshing beats. Taking to the decks of mega club Pacha New York, the boys are here to showcase their latest project, ‘Anjunabeats Volume 5′. While most compilations provide the hot tunes of the moment, this act uses the standard CD fare to release the latest and greatest, and sometime remixed, tracks from the label they also own, Anjunabeats. More then well received in Europe, this latest bit from the trio is being claimed as the best of their series, and will be released via Ultra Records on June 5th.

“With their previous four label showcase compilation, UK DJ trio and Anjunabeats label bosses
Above & Beyond set the bar high enough to be practically out of reach for many trance labels. So you
could forgive them if they fancied sitting back, handing the reigns to the host of emerging talent on their
roster and taking it easy. Thankfully for all fans of their ever-inventive output, the boys have decided to
do the opposite, turning in what is probably their finest compilation to date. The mix is a perfectly blended
pallet of styles, from the funk-laced prog of Jaytech to the yearning euphoria of Super 8 & Tab’s ‘Suru’,
with the energy built up effortlessly over 2 CDs. If ever an album was going to convince doubters that
trance isn’t about cheesy vocals and synths stabs, this is it” ***** Compilation Of The Month, Mixmag
“Trance kings uncover fresh melodic fusions. Pinning the beautiful diversity of modern genres is always
a tough task, but it doesn’t get any easier with labels like Anjuna around. For across their first CD,
Anjuna’s ‘trance saviours’, Above & Beyond instead throw a fresh curveball by blending deep melodic
house and clubby electro with subtle, sunshine-soaked melody. The second CD takes the baton more
towards the expected but equally innovative trance sounds the label is built on. Just don’t ask us to pigeon
hole any of it – a good thing, we reckon – as all you really need to know is that Anjuna’s fifth outing is more
uplifting, groove-fuelled and invigorating than those before it. The best just got better. 4/5″ **** DJ Magazine
