After being leaked prematurely, the Anjuna crew have had to release the listing to 'volume 2' earlier than expected, here is the listing for those who want to know although it is still subject for alterations.

Above & Beyond have been described by Pete Tong as ‘the UK's new trance superstars' and have been lucky enough to remix Dido, Britney and Madonna – not a bad threesome. Anjunabeats Volume Two is their new mix album.

Through a combination of genre-defining productions and melodic and uplifting DJ sets at the world's leading clubs , Above & Beyond (aka Jono Grant, Paavo Siljamaki and Tony McGuinness) are also starting to challenge the likes of Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren and Tiesto at the summit of the global trance scene .

Their recent Radio 1 Essential Mix was described by Radio 1 as one of the most popular they've aired (based on listen back figures). In the meantime the trio's highly respected Anjunabeats label has become a firm favourite among the world's A-list DJ's .

Anjunabeats Volume Two is an absorbing showcase of the best music played on Above & Beyond's weekly Ministry of Sound radio show and signed to Anjunabeats.

The first phase of the mix focuses on the deep, progressive and techy end of the trance sound, then things are built to a frenzy with an expert blend of big room tunes, including the awesome Gabriel & Dresden mix of Above & Beyond ‘No One On Earth' and the universally supported Jono Grant V Mike Koglin ‘Circuits' . In the final stages of the mix the listener is eased back down to earth with a blissful sequence of melodic trance , climaxing with the hypnotic new Tranquility Base single, ‘Surrender' .

Anjunabeats Volume Two includes tracks and mixes from Above & Beyond, Super8, Smith & Pledger, Endre and Probspot . See overleaf for a full tracklisting, and for more information or artwork, please contact: james@anjunabeats.com / 07966 450 242.

Tracklisting


As well as established club anthems like Above & Beyond feat Zoe Johnston ‘No One On Earth', Endre ‘Kallocain' and Jono Grant V Mike Koglin ‘Circuits', Anjunabeats Volume Two provides a glimpse of future Anjunabeats classics including Smith & Pledger ‘Believe', POS ‘Gravity', and the eagerly anticipated Tranquility Base single, ‘Surrender'. See below for the full tracklisting

1. Smith & Pledger - Forever (Aspekt Mix)

~ Released exclusively as an AnjunaDigital download, the atmospheric Aspekt remix of Smith & Pledger ‘Forever' is a firm favourite for Markus Schulz, resident at Space in Miami ~

2. Endre – I Kill For You (Probspot Mix)

~ This unreleased beauty is the new single from 17-year-old Swedish prodigy, Alexandré Sjöström aka Endre. Fellow Swede Probspot is on remix duty here, delivering one of his trademark driving prog reworks ~

3. Stephen J Kroos – Instamatick

~ Released early in 2004, Stephen's debut Phantzmz EP won support from Tiesto, Carl Cox, and Marco V. Instamatick is the similarly techy and brilliant follow-up ~

4. Menno de Jong – Guanxi

~ Dutch producer Menno de Jong innocently sent his demo into the Anjunabeats office one day, next thing you know it was being snapped up for release and hammered by Armin and Tiesto ~

5. Endre – Kallocain (Robert Nickson Mix)

~ Check out the ‘best tune of 2004' threads from our friends at www.tranceaddict.com and Kallocain crops up regularly. Paul Van Dyk is all over this one like a rash ~

6. DJ Tab – Radiate

~ DJ Tab is one of Finland's best trance DJ's and on Radiate he uses his understanding of dancefloor mechanics to create a brooding set-builder. Supported by Matt Hardwick and Scott Bond ~

7. Aalto – Taurine

~ Taurine is the lovechild of Above & Beyond's Paavo Siljamaki and Super8's Miika Eloranta. Paul Van Dyk and Armin Van Buuren are confirmed fans ~

8. Jono Grant V Mike Koglin – Circuits

~ Jono Grant is one third of Above & Beyond, Mike Koglin is a renowned German producer and all round good bloke. The pair collaborated on ‘Circuits', with the tune receiving a thorough battering by everyone from Armin to Judge Jules.

9. Above & Beyond feat Zoë Johnston – No One On Earth (Gabriel & Dresden Club Mix)

~ Above & Beyond, Gabriel & Dresden and Zoë Johnston combine to serve up a blissful slice of deep and emotive trance. Huge for Oakenfold and Tiesto ~

10. Super8 – Cre8

~ Finland's Miika Eloranta must rank among the world's most talented young trance producers right now. Cre8 won't see a release until October 2004, but you can hear it here first as Miika adds a slightly Balearic edge to his trademark tough trance production ~

11. Smith & Pledger – Believe

~ We at Anjuna Towers have high hopes for these fellas. Mixmag's hailed them as the future of UK trance and who are we to argue. Believe represents their second solo release, after two earlier collaborations with Matt Hardwick ~

12. P.O.S. – Gravity

~ This tune is so up front and exclusive that it was a race to get a finished version in time for the album. P.O.S is Above & Beyond's Paavo Siljamaki, and Gravity is the follow-up to the monstrous Remember E.P. which became lodged in the boxes of countless A-list DJ's including Tiesto & PVD ~

13. Above & Beyond present Tranquility Base – Surrender

~ Tranquility Base ‘Razorfish' is etched in club folklore and ranks among Anjunabeats' most successful releases to date, so we were feeling the pressure a bit when it came to finding the right follow-up. Judging by the reactions to this track following the Above & Beyond Essential Mix, we've not done too badly with Surrender. The tune treads a slightly deeper path than its predecessor, but with its stunning chord changes and hypnotic melodies, it seems destined to make a similarly huge impact in clubland ~

Above & Beyond – Backgrounder


Above & Beyond are without doubt one of the most exciting talents in the global dance music scene today. Their genre-defining productions - often released on their own Anjunabeats label - have become an essential tool for the world's leading DJ's and have set the benchmark for the new generation of trance producers. Above & Beyond - aka Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness and Paavo Siljamäki - have recorded under a number of different aliases including Aalto, Free State, Nitromethane, Oceanlab, P.O.S and Tranquility Base.

Equally comfortable behind the decks as in the studio, as DJ's Above & Beyond have rocked dancefloors at venues such as Godskitchen, Gatecrasher and Cream, as well as internationally. The boys also recently performed a well-received 2 hour Essential Mix on Radio 1, leading Radio 1 resident Pete Tong to describe them as ‘the UK's new trance superstars'. You can also catch Above & Beyond on their weekly radio show on Ministry of Sound on Tuesday nights (8-10pm GMT) and on their forthcoming Anjunabeats Worldwide DJ tour.

Above & Beyond are currently promoting their own solo release, ‘No One On Earth', which features ex Faithless songstress Zoe Johnston on vocals. The tune has become a firm favourite for Oakenfold, Armin and Tiesto and seems destined to achieve anthem status. Next up after that, look out for Above & Beyond remixes of Dido, Delerium and Ferry Corsten, as well another new single under their Tranquility Base guise.


Huge thanks to James Grant for letting us know that this is not final yet, but may well be :)
