‘Cream Ibiza’ mixed by Above & Beyond (album review)
If you simply you can't get enough Anjuna, then "Cream Ibiza, mixed by Above & Beyond" is everything you want it to be, a brilliant portrait of the label's recent successes. With appearances by Arty, Mat Zo, Andrew Bayer, Norin & Rad, Parker & Hanson, and Jaytech, it's a snapshot of Above & Beyond as they are in the summer of 2012 -- It's a little slice of trance 2.0, preserved forever. Oh, and Eric Prydz, Markus Schulz, and Jerome Isma-Ae feature, too.
Above & Beyond – Group Therapy LA at the Shrine May 17 and May 18 (concert review)
With a stunning three night run at Los Angeles' historic Shrine Auditorium, Above & Beyond demonstrated that, in the right hands, dance music can become more than just entertainment. The Group Therapy experience defies rational explanation. It's magical.
Anjunabeats Worldwide 04, Mixed by Maor Levi & Nitrous Oxide (album review)
To be honest, there isn't a bad track on Anjunabeats Worldwide 04. Trying to curate the best ones for you was painful, because all of Nitrous Oxide's contributions on CD2 are worthy of mention. If you're a trance fan, you need this album. Ineed, it's superior to any of the mix compilations Anjunabeats has put out recently -- includings Anjunabeats Vol. 8 and Vol. 9, both of which were mixed by Above & Beyond themselves.
