The rebirth of a historic series: Anjunabeats Volume 17
After a four-year hiatus, the GRAMMY-nominated trio, Above & Beyond, has announced the release of Anjunabeats Volume 17. To commemorate this milestone, the British act is hosting an exclusive pop-up event today, Thursday, May 28th, at 26 Leake Street in London. This gathering, designed with an intimate Boiler Room-style atmosphere, is reserved exclusively for ticket holders of their upcoming show at Silverworks Island, offering an immersive experience where the audience will surround the DJ booth.
Following the release of 'Bigger Than All Of Us', it was important that this next chapter celebrated the artists who make Anjunabeats such an exciting label. Volume 17 includes music from artists we have worked with for years, as well as new faces who represent the future.
— Above & Beyond
The event will feature a warm-up by J Ribbon at 7:00 PM, before the main trio takes control from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM to present the 35 tracks that make up the new compilation live. The entire performance will be professionally recorded.
- Disc 1: Explores a deep and progressive sonic palette, transitioning from tribal rhythms to the nostalgia of 90s trance.
- Disc 2: Captures the high-octane energy characteristic of Anjunabeats main stages, designed for large festivals.
- Featured collaborations: Includes the hit single 'When I Look In Your Eyes' with Justine Suissa, recently premiered before 15,000 people at Group Therapy 600 in Mexico City.
- Vinyl edition: For the first time in the two-decade history of the series, a 12-track sampler curated by hand will be released in physical format.
Return to the essence of underground clubbing
The decision to present a project of the magnitude of Anjunabeats Volume 17 in a small space like 26 Leake Street underscores a growing trend in the electronic scene: the search for physical and acoustic proximity. While Above & Beyond continues to fill global stadiums, this London pop-up returns the music to its natural habitat, prioritizing raw groove and direct connection with the most die-hard fans.
