Above & Beyond pres. Anjuna:Chilled 01

Above & Beyond introduce ‘Anjuna:Chilled 01’, the first instalment in a new compilation series that takes some of the most celebrated records from across the Anjuna catalog and reimagines them in ambient, downtempo and beatless form.

Due December 3 on Anjunachill, the 16-track collection brings together music spanning generations of the label, with artists including Above & Beyond, OceanLab, Jaytech, Luminary, Smith & Pledger, Andrew Bayer, Dusky, Jody Wisternoff and PROFF. Above & Beyond contribute six brand-new reworks: new versions of ‘Sun & Moon,’ OceanLab’s ‘Sky Falls Down,’ Justin Blau & XIRA’s ‘Tokyo,’ Smith & Pledger’s ‘White,’ Luminary’s ‘Amsterdam’ and PROFF’s ‘Deep Orange.’

The project grew out of Anjunachill’s existing Revisited series, expanding the concept into a broader body of work that invites artists from across the Anjuna family, from heritage names to newer signings, to revisit records from the catalog and approach them from a different perspective.

“We’re pleased to present to you a new chapter in the Anjuna catalog: revisits and reworks of label classics, distilled and chilled for your listening pleasure. Our Anjunachill imprint is now four years old, and has hosted some inspiring downtempo and neo-classical rearrangements of records we’ve loved throughout Anjuna’s 25 years. ‘Anjuna:Chilled 01’ is the first edition of a series that sees artists revisit records from the Anjuna catalog, providing fresh takes and helping us fall in love with music from the past two decades all over again. The compilation features contributions from artists across the labels. And from us - a number of reworks of some of our favorites, including our new downtempo mix of ‘Sun & Moon’ which includes an unreleased second verse. We hope you enjoy” - Jono, Paavo and Tony.

The first glimpse of the compilation comes September 14 with Above & Beyond feat. Richard Bedford ‘Sun & Moon (Downtempo Version)’. First released in 2011 on the trio’s landmark album Group Therapy, ‘Sun & Moon’ has become one of the defining songs in the Above & Beyond catalog and a lasting centerpiece of their live shows. The original has amassed more than 67 million streams, while this new interpretation brings Bedford’s unmistakable vocals to the forefront and adds a verse previously heard in Above & Beyond’s acoustic rendition.

‘Above & Beyond pres. Anjuna:Chilled 01’ is available now to pre-order digitally and as a limited-edition 2x12" gatefold release on transparent vinyl, via the Anjunastore.
