Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness, and Paavo Siljamäki go by the stage name Above & Beyond. They went on to establish the label Anjunabeats back in 2001. Anjunabeats has a sibling label Anjunadeep, founded in 2005. It’s also owned by Above & Beyond with the addition of James Grant.
Where Anjunabeats is more uplifting, progressive house and trance, Anjunadeep focuses on deep, downtempo trance, progressive, and house. Recently, Anjunadeep released their newest compilation, ‘Anjunadeep 11.’
Anjunadeep 10 came out a little over a year ago with 37 tracks. Similarly, Anjunadeep 11 released 38 tracks. This gives listeners two hours and forty minutes of pure spacey heaven. Check out the trailer below, full length available here.
The compilation has 35 exclusive tracks split up into two mixes. Some of the featured artists include Lane 8, Yotto, Qrion, Tinlicker, Marsh Nox Vahn and Luttrell. Both Jody Wisternoff and James Grant worked tirelessly to make the release perfect showcasing each artist’s unique style and sound.
Interestingly, Anjunabeats and Anjunadeep are named after the village of Anjuna, located on the coast of North Goa, India. Most importantly, after 15 years of music and over 300 released Anjunadeep has changed, but their mission remains the same, “to release timeless soulful and melodic electronic music.”
