Label spotlight: 20 years ago, a college project brought Anjunabeats to life.
Existing at first as a distribution method for Above & Beyond's own output, since its creation Anjunabeats has released music by artists including Mat Zo, Audien, Arty, Andrew Bayer, Tinlicker, Super 8 & Tab, ilan Bluestone, Seven Lions and many more. While Anjuna's sounds are eclectic, the general vibe is one of smart, sophisticated dance music that tugs on your heartstrings at the same time it makes your feet move.
Since then, the label has grown into the company it is today, catalyzed by James Grant joining us in 2002 to help on the business side, after which the label has grown from a simple vehicle to release our own music into a fully fledged record label with publishing and artist management arms. Over the years, James seems to have had a knack of employing a dynamic team of fantastic people. We are really proud of the team at Anjunabeats.
We are based in London, and I strongly believe that our location has informed our output. While London has a history with dance music, it is also obviously a metropolitan city and so I always feel what we do extends beyond niche genres, even if each release might be identifiable within a particular genre. I think this is the key to records that stand the test of time -- they ideally need to reach beyond the core fans of the genre in question, even if that doesn’t translate to a radio hit.
