Above & Beyond

1 upcoming festival

Trance's group-therapy session — push-the-button moments and crowds crying happy tears at sunrise.

Above & Beyond are a British trance group formed in London in 2000 by Jono Grant, Tony McGuinness and Paavo Siljamäki. They founded the Anjunabeats label, later expanding it with the deeper Anjunadeep imprint, and have released a long run of vocal and progressive trance records alongside the Group Therapy radio show, which lends its name to their large-scale events.

Their music leans on melodic build-ups, sung choruses and lyrics that tend toward the confessional, and their sets are known for on-screen messages addressed to the crowd. They have also recorded ambient and acoustic reworkings of their own catalogue.
