Above & Beyond

About

Above & Beyond aren't just DJs; they're architects of emotional soundscapes, crafting soaring melodies and euphoric breakdowns that have soundtracked countless sunrises. The British trio – Jono Grant, Paavo Siljamäki, and Tony McGuinness – have redefined the boundaries of trance, incorporating elements of progressive house, ambient electronica, and even tinges of acoustic instrumentation. Their journey from remixing established acts in the early 2000s to headlining arenas is a testament to their commitment to authentic connection. The Anjunabeats label, a breeding ground for innovative trance artists, became a launchpad for their own unique blend of introspective lyricism and anthemic production. Signature tracks like "Sun & Moon" and "Thing Called Love" resonated deeply, transcending the dancefloor to become cultural touchstones. Beyond the music, Above & Beyond are known for their "Group Therapy" sessions, performances where they engage directly with the audience, sharing personal messages and fostering a sense of community. This commitment to vulnerability, combined with their masterful control of sonic textures, solidifies their position as more than just DJs – they are curators of shared experiences, constantly pushing the boundaries of electronic music. Recently, they've continued to evolve, experimenting with live instrumentation and pushing the boundaries of their sound while maintaining the core emotionality that defines them.
